This special publication is dated Fall/Winter 2006. ![]() Would these rooms stand up to that label today? Are these designs timeless? Or would these rooms look outdated today? Is there even any such thing as timeless design? Let’s take a look at a few of them, because I’m curious to know what you think.įirst, let me give you some background and some perspective. So yesterday, when I came across this again, I was curious. ![]() I thought that the claim made on the front cover was 100% accurate at the time. I was in Barnes & Noble, and I saw it, flipped through it, and was absolutely captivated by it. And as you can see, the cover literally says “The Most Stunning Rooms Ever”. At first, I thought it was Elle Decor, but it’s not. I think it’s a Better Homes & Gardens special publication. I mean, the chances of me looking at any of those magazines again was slim to none.īut one caught my eye. I didn’t take the time to look at them, because I just wanted to get the room cleared out. There were probably 300 of them, at least. It’s a big job because that room is large, and it has accumulated a lot of stuff! But yesterday, while purging and packing up the room, I came across my stash of design magazines. As we all adjust to continued self-isolating, I think more and more people are taking an interest in how they decorate and use their spaces.I’ve been working in the studio this week, clearing out the room, packing things up, and getting ready to paint the ceiling, walls, and floor. I love that within design there is something for everyone: every style, every budget, and an opportunity for people to experiment with their own taste. Whether it's clients or friends, I definitely see a shift in people caring more about the items they collect for their homes. There is a very clear appreciation now for life at home. How do you see the future of interior design changing in the new normal of self-isolating? Also, morning beach walks are my everyday necessity! I love that with this business I’m always learning. What’s keeping you inspired during all this time at home?ĭesign books! With all this time at home, and minimal visits to showrooms and a lack of flea markets and travel opportunities, design books have been the best way for me to stay inspired, learn, and keep training my eye. I designed an entire kitchen around a client’s collection of antique glassware! I also get a lot of inspiration from my clients and their pieces. My design intent is always to create spaces that don’t feel brand new, but rather rooms that have always been. The worn woods, patinated brass, plaster walls, vintage velvets are what give authenticity to a room that is unmatched with new or contemporary furniture. Thank you! I think the key is to prioritize the use of vintage or antique pieces and elements in a space. The spaces you design have such a calming, yet rich vibe. Whether it's an entire space or an individual piece, I like to create environments that feel timeless even in their contemporary settings. My aesthetic and approach to design are very much influenced by my time spent abroad in that I love to connect my projects to their own sense of history. I came back to LA when the program was complete, inspired, and ready to start my own business. Tell us about that!Īfter working in design for a few years, I took time off and spent a year in Florence, where I attended design school. You own your own interior design business.
