I was recently quoted in House Beautiful for their piece, "How to choose a ceiling fan that feels intentional, proportionate, and beautifully integrated into the room," about ceiling fan size, and I have more tips to share in this blog post.

For the past several years, so much of the conversation around interiors has centered on what a room looks like. The perfect photograph, the recognizable piece of furniture, the color of the moment.

But lately, I'm seeing the conversation shift.

Clients are increasingly interested in how something is made, why it was selected, and what makes a space feel distinctive.

Some projects are about restraint. Others give you permission to layer, customize, embellish, and have a little fun.

This Southampton home was the latter.

September always feels like the start of something new. The light begins to shift, the air gets a little crisper, and I find myself reaching for warmer colors, cozy layers, and pieces that make home feel just a little more inviting. Here’s what’s been catching my eye as we ease into fall.

There is something special about designing a summer house. It should feel different from your everyday home. A little lighter, a little more playful, and perhaps a little less precious. Most importantly, it should make you feel like you've arrived at summer the moment you walk through the door.

That was our goal for this Southampton home, designed for a young family with two daughters who live in New York City during the school year and spend their summers out East.

One of the things I love most about interior design is seeing an idea that started as a conversation or sketch become something completely tangible.

Right now, we have projects at almost every stage of that process. The beautiful finished photographs are the end result, but there is so much thought, coordination, problem-solving, and excitement that happens before we ever get there.

Children's bedrooms have a way of evolving almost as quickly as the children themselves. One year it's dinosaurs, the next it's sports, then teenagers arrive with entirely different ideas. That's why we love designing kids' rooms with a timeless foundation that can adapt as their personalities grow.

Some of the most memorable rooms in a home aren't always the largest or the most formal. Sometimes they're the spaces we use every day - the rooms that functionally support our routines.

This laundry room in Tarrytown, NY is a perfect example.

August always has a way of slowing me down just enough to notice the little things I've been loving, in the studio, around the house, and honestly, in my own closet and jewelry box too. Here's what's been catching my eye this month.

There is a moment in every project where you have to decide whether to play it safe or take a risk. In this Briarcliff Manor kitchen, that moment came down to two oversized pendant lights and one bold question. Could pink actually work here?

This project in Southampton is exactly the kind of home I love most. A family with young kids who are in and out of the swimming pool all summer long, sandy feet on the floors, wet bathing suits, weekend guests piling in for long lazy afternoons. This home needed to be beautiful and it needed to be real. Those two things are not mutually exclusive, and this project is proof.

Mahjong rooms have become one of my favorite spaces to design. It is not just about creating a pretty room, it is about creating a room that feels just as good on a quiet Tuesday afternoon as it does mid game with snacks out and tiles clicking.

This Fourth of July feels especially meaningful as we celebrate America's 250th anniversary. It's a time to gather with family and friends, honor tradition, and create memories at home.

This month's favorites are inspired by classic American hospitality, timeless design, and the simple joys of summer entertaining.

Some kitchens just need a refresh. And some kitchens need to be completely rethought from the ground up.

This one in Briarcliff Manor, NY was the latter.

When this family came to us, they had just moved into a brand new townhouse at Edge on Hudson in Sleepy Hollow, New York. The development is beautiful, the location is spectacular, and the bones were solid. But like most newly built homes, it looked exactly like every other unit in the development. Builder-grade finishes. Predictable fixtures. No personality.

That is where we came in.

One of the questions I get asked most often is how I decide on wainscoting height and wallpaper patterns, and how I know when they work together. The honest answer is that I rarely decide at my desk. I decide on site, with samples in hand and a pencil on the wall. Here is how I think through these decisions, and what you can see in four rooms from one of my favorite recent projects.

Some rooms start with a floor plan. Some start with a client's wish list. And some — the most fun ones — start with a wallpaper. This sitting room in Sleepy Hollow, New York started with Brunschwig and Fils Les Touches, and I committed to it completely.

June is here and with it comes longer days, weekend plans, and that particular energy that makes you want to refresh everything — your home, your bag, your bathroom shelf.

Here is what I am reaching for and recommending this month.

I was recently quoted in Homes & Gardens for their piece, "What Trends Are Interior Designers Already Sick of Seeing In 2026?" — and I have to say, I meant every word.

Every great outdoor space starts with a chair. Not the rug, not the planters, not the string lights — although all of those matter — but the chair. This spring I was asked to share my picks for the best patio chairs as part of a story in New York Magazine's Strategist, and I found myself thinking hard about what really makes an outdoor chair earn its spot.
