A Contemporary Classic Laundry Room

I shared this laundry room that we're getting ready to install in the coming days at a local project and Instagram went wild with excitedment and a litany of inquiries. There's no gate-keeping at this design studio, I'm thrilled to share all the deets.

Four Modern Kitchen Projects in the Past 12 Months

Kitchen design has come such a long way throughout generations. From an industry perspective, we see the role of kitchens truly as the heart of the home. Although true, that statement has become somewhat of a cliche that we like to examine with each client specifically to determine what are the real needs...

A Modern Home Office Transformation

Hi Guys, we're sharing the most recent debut from a custom remodel of a 4,200 square foot new build. These lovely clients moved in a few months ago and we're working to personalize and customize every inch of there lovely new home.

Modern Elegance & Warmth in a Super-sized Family Room

We are busy with designs upon designs and overdue in updating our blog to reflect some of the exciting work that's taking place in our studio these past few months. This super-sized family room (and dining room) is a continuation of a full house customization of a recently completed new 4500 square foot home. We've been experiencing painful delays due to contractors (which requires its own dedicated blog post to vent) but such is the nature of the industry and this too shall pass :)

DESIGN DILEMMAS (NO. 2)

Week #2 is here and this week's DESIGN DILEMMAS comes from my hometown of Miami.

TIPS ON CURATING YOUR WALL SPACE AT HOME

The art season in Miami is upon me and I’m very fortunate each year to be on the Planning Committee for the Art Africa Miami Arts Fair {@artafricamia} happening the first week in December. I’ve served as a Creative Consultant for the past 4 years and delight not only in the growth of this meaningful event, but my own growth in my appreciation of art.

Being an interior designer, I can’t help but to juxtapose both worlds. Afterall, what is an interior space without art, right? And, this idea of “wall space” whether in one’s home or at an art exhibition is one that is and should be curated. It requires thought, it should have meaning and it should evoke a feeling.

Because I'm in full planning mode on how to make this year's event the best cultural experience we've had yet and inspiration is buzzing all around me, I invite you to check out how I create wall space envy {at my home} in hopes of serving up some inspiration to you as well.

Be Sincere in Your Practice

Days run into days run into days...yes, I've been running! And, I get so very grateful and thankful for this hectic-ness. My practice definitely has it peaks and valleys. There are times when I get over-booked and terribly stressed out on over-booked deadlines. Then, there are times when things slow down and I'm still running, in full force Business Development mode and projects are slow to get started.

Is Your Closet Fall Ready?

One of our blog fave's, Apartment Therapy, posted an oldie-but-goodie piece on organizing your closet for the Fall season. There are numerous articles out their on this subject but I find this one to be straight to the point and on the money.

Modern Sophistication in 600 Square Feet

How much space does one really need to live? Here in America, we are spoiled with the "super-size" culture with our homes, SUV's, food portions...you name it! My home is, do I dare say, ONLY 1,800sq.ft. and I feel like I really NEED more.

I Call It My THINK TANK

It's May? The year is vastly zooming by and I have plans...resolutions....goals. This self-inflicted stress I put on myself is confusing. I don't mean to do it, think I'm unaware of it, can't help it, in denial about it...and, it sometimes causes a crash-n-burn type of result. My menu of services has increased tremendously this year.
