Upholstery in color
One thing I constantly remind clients is that the sofa does not have to be the safe choice. It does not have to be beige and apologetic. It can be…
Convergence Station, Denver
One of my favorite things about experiencing @convergencestation with my kids is watching them lead. They don’t need a perfect roadmap or neat explanation,…
Prairie Interiors and Emeline in Newport Beach
Always scouting when we travel and @prairie_interiors shoppe in Newport is one of those places that just feels right. Such a clear point of view,…
Crystal Cove and Balboa Island
Spring break, but the good kind. Camping nearby, wandering through Crystal Cove State Park, and making our way over to Balboa Island for those iconic signs…
Lunch at The Roblar in Ojai
Love that grabbing coffee in Ojai with @beachbungalows is NBD (quick drive up the 101!) especially when it turns into lunch at @theroblar … California…
Inside the Beverly Hills Women’s Club
Grateful and honored to attend the most incredible talk with @jrummerfield @saveiconicarchitecture + @indiahicksstyle to discuss her latest book, Lady Pamela, while getting an up close and personal look at the restoration and redesign of the @bhwc90210 by Jaime’s eponymous firm. I learned so much from India’s beautiful storytelling about her parents lives and the ideals that shaped them while absorbing the storied architecture and history of the space. Only in LA could this magical experience exist and I left fully inspired and with a new friend @erinkaneinteriordesign 🩷
Looking closely at Frieze Los Angeles

Color and texture at a Leonardo Marmol exhibition
A little “pinch me” moment, gathering to celebrate the beautiful work of @leonardo_e_marmol last week at @charlesarnoldistudio with @artseenla + @roxiestories 🎨 as if Mr. Marmol hasn’t impressed us all enough with his architecture and design work via @marmolradziner he just so happens to be an incredible painter. A true privilege to meet him and learn about his work and approach first hand🙏🏻followed by a gorgeous dinner at @felixlosangeles ✨ The show is closing Sunday and the gallery is hosting an open house from 12-3, March 1st, don’t miss it!⌛️
Pattern and spectacle at Martyn Bullard’s home
What a special weekend celebrating design! Huge thank you to @snyderdiamond @jennair @thegalleybrands @houseofrohl for a beautiful experience! Mind blown by @martynbullard ‘s stunning home where he hosted @saveiconicarchitecture ‘s anniversary party. We need this organization now more than ever in the wake of the fires and as important pieces of our Los Angeles history are endangered! Check out their @newcaliforniaclassics catalog which provides a fantastic breakdown of defining architectural styles of CA. Grateful to get up close and personal with so much beautiful design this weekend and meet new friends! Thank you @russ.diamond.sd @mattwold1 @eric_warfield for your hospitality 🪩🤍✨and thoughtfulness. Even with all these photos it still feels like a dream!
Colorful concrete in a personal Palm Springs home
Our love for @concretecollaborative is no secret, they are one of our favorite vendors for a myriad of reasons. What an honor to be invited with our fellow designers to visit @katietoosh ‘s + @balsisc ‘s personal home filled with concrete, terrazzo, color and LOVE. A fully lived life with three active boys is a testament to the durability of their products and nothing inspires us more than people doing what they love in life and at home. Thank to the entire @concretecollaborative family for hosting this beautiful event a testament to SoCal living and #dopamine design.
Modernism Week: details worth a closer look
Excited to head back to @modernism_week for massive inspiration. Palm Springs has always been a huge part of my design journey and getting to experience stunning projects by folks like @michelleboudreaudesign up close and personal is a great honor. Her material choices, millwork design and skillful layering is something to behold. Anyone else heading out to the desert?
Cosentino City Los Angeles, in person
Even though so much sourcing starts online now, I still make it a point to get into physical showrooms regularly. Screens are great for research, but they…
A fresh material direction at Cosentino
We were feeling a little stuck on a project, so I stopped by the @cosentinocitylosangeles showroom to see if anything might spark a fresh direction. Éclos did exactly that. It has that layered natural look so many homeowners are drawn to, but without the level of maintenance that often comes with real stone, which many prefer to avoid. Knowing it’s made with a high amount of recycled material is also very appealing. I left with ideas I’m really excited about and can’t wait to share with my client. Their team is always so helpful with samples and product education, which makes me feel confident specifying the material.
Vintage chairs, re-covered in James Malone fabric
I sent my client on a weekend field trip to @popuphome with her partner and they fell in love with these incredible vintage chairs; while they were in…
Furoshiki and fabric wrapping
My favorite holiday hack of the past decade; #furoshiki 🎁 or rather my very loose interpretation. Wrapping gifts in fabric has given me back hours of my…

Palm Springs: fashion and interiors

Ideas from WestEdge Design Fair
You can still check out @westedgedesign for a few more hours today at the Barker Hanger! Really enjoyed the show this year especially sharing it with my little intern who was blown away by the beauty and creativity. We are lucky to be part of such an inspiring industry. If you missed it, spend some time on their site to catch up on vendors and if I missed tagging you PLEASE let me know!
Lighting and collected details at Convoy Design
Been catching up on @convoxdesign as we approach @westedgedesign next week - really LOVED Josh’s interview with THE @cortneynovogratz and I’ll share a little #fangirlmoment ; last @highpointmarket I attended @pookylights launch party for their @thenovogratz collab. I was one of the first to arrive and could have easily said hello to the inspiring Lady but I was completely star struck and opted not to approach🤦🏼♀️…Guys, it’s SO hard showing up to a party alone and just crashing other people’s conversations (although I did interrupt a Frederic editor that was kind enough to chat with me for a bit)…suffice it to say, she is a total inspiration and the collection is beautiful; listen to her great chat with Mr. OG design podcast asap! Next time I’ll be more brave!
