Schoolhouse lighting and personal interiors
We keep coming back to Schoolhouse for distinctive, thoughtfully designed pieces that help us make each home feel personal.
Styling with Accent Decor
We have always believed that a room isn’t finished until we’ve considered every last layer, right down to the artwork, accessories and especially the…
Two weeks of design, beyond the screen
So much of what we do happens on the computer…drawings, sourcing, revisions, reviews, presentations and meetings…but we break away from the screen a few times a week to do the other things that make design for our clients possible (and awesome!).
The final layer: styling a home
Sometimes a space doesn’t need to be completely redesigned; it just needs the right final layer. Styling lets us work with what you already have, identify what’s missing, and bring in the pieces that make everything feel more considered, connected and finished. It’s one of our favorite ways to refresh a home, and a great way to experience what it’s like to work with us.
A fresh direction after a water leak
So excited to see these designs come to life for our clients who have been thru hell and back thanx to a water leak that ruined EVERYTHING in their home.
Schumacher textiles at Litt Concept House
We love a great textile story, and Schumacher is always one of our first stops when we’re looking for inspiration for a new project. Sometimes the right…
A kitchen renovation, with less in the way
This space went from dated 90s details, awkward proportions and too many competing warm tones to something minimal, functional, balanced and calm. We…
Floral wallpaper in a powder room
Wallpaper Wednesday! I love how the right paper can make you see a room completely differently. Add a new light fixture or swap out the plumbing fixtures,…
Open-plan living, considered from every angle
Gorgeous and made for living…many opinions on open floor plans, but we personally love them. When they’re done well, they allow everyone to share the same experience and atmosphere while each space still feels like its own…and because everything is visible, every angle matters. The back detail on these custom @verellenfurniture sofas is ✨✨✨✨✨. This space was super special, with @stugastudio on the ceiling, @portolapaints limewash, @lukelampco pendant, stunning coffee table + accent chair by @_michael_robbins, a bespoke credenza and side table lovingly created by @sawkillecompany, vintage rugs and table from @1stdibs that we refinished in matte black. These clients were instrumental in sourcing and installation as was our builder, Simone Felice. Huge thank you to our architecture partner @conklin_architecture + residential design partner @eplordredesign . This was a major team effort and we are forever grateful for everyone involved.

Small shops, vintage furniture, and collected objects
Long weekends are the perfect excuse to wander through a nearby town you don’t usually visit and pop into the thrift stores, vintage shops and tiny local…
Newport Beach: seeing the palette together
Spaces come together in layers, and sometimes the middle feels a little weird! A paint color or a tile can feel so different on its own than it does once…
Espresso limewash by Color Atelier
Even the “small” projects are big. Close up a wall, add a few lights, paint…seems like NBD, but it all takes time, budget, planning and patience. Here’s a…
Original art by Danielle Hutchens
Art can be one of the most challenging parts of designing a home because it’s so incredibly personal. It doesn’t just need to “work” with a room, it needs…
Captain Whidbey: materials and collected objects
I’m always most drawn to spaces that couldn’t just exist anywhere, where the architecture, materials, objects and imperfections tell you something about the…
Washington: cedar, moss, and a sense of place
Every time we visit I’m reminded how much a place can shape the way we think about design. The towering evergreens, weathered cedar cabins, moss-covered…
Cabin architecture and a screened porch
There’s just something about summer in a cabin. Slow mornings, coffee on a screened-in porch, card games that last way too long, the sound of rain on the…
Petra Palumbo Delft tiles, and a trip to the Netherlands
Our goal has never been to create homes that look like our portfolio. It’s to create homes that feel unmistakably like the people who live in them. Visiting…
Outdoor living with Tupelo Goods and Accent Decor
Revisiting our cover for @nestrealty and remembering why I love designing outdoor spaces just as much as the interiors (big thank you to…
Handmade tile from Tabarka Studio
That’s why we’ve always been drawn to the handmade tiles from @tabarkastudio . Each piece is crafted using time-honored techniques, resulting in gentle…
Amsterdam, The Frozen Fountain, and Dutch design
