We are just getting into the groove of a new year, and like most of you, we’ve taken down the tree, put up the Christmas decorations and are now staring at a room that now feels a bit empty. I like this phase for a few weeks, but when it comes to…
Forget Monday. Let’s Escape to A Modern Country Retreat in Australia
Sometimes we all need a place to escape to. Maybe we’ve been working a little too much lately, or perhaps we need a dose of inspiration that can only be found by leaving our every day life and experiencing something new, but no matter the reason, I have found just the place…
Michaela + Mike’s Elegant Craftsmen Makeover
Michaela and Mike recently moved into their dream home, a craftsmen style home on a wooded lot in South Carolina. With a desire to represent his and her tastes plus respecting the fact that they have two small boys, we peeked at their living room plus some of their favorite rooms before creating a…
A Home Where Kids Can Live :: A Swedish Family Home
I wasn’t a terribly naughty child, but always a very curious one. If someone said I wasn’t suppose to go somewhere, that pretty much meant to me, “sneak in after hours and check the place out”, so every now and then I would creep into the two rooms of our house that…
35 Secretly Healthy Desserts ’cause Dieting in January Sucks
I open the closet after carefully avoiding my reflection in the mirror. Panic. FREAKING CHRISTMAS! My heart rate speeds up, my palms get sweaty… “Oh, God. Where are my fat jeans? Why did I think it was a good idea to donate them?! Oh, yeah. ‘Accountability.’ Great. I’ll have to pour myself…
Put On Your Dancing Shoes :: Club Le Roy in Helsinki
I was pregnant when I turned 21, which pretty much guaranteed a life with limited drinking opportunities, especially in swanky ballroom type establishments that turn into a night club after bed time. And, if I’m really being honest, moving to Morocco, a country where drinking alcohol is social suicide, and adding two more…
Let’s Rule The World In Pink
Poor pink. Over the last few decades it has taken a bit of a beating as women set themselves free of the preconceived notions that once existed about what women can and cannot do. While it is the unsung neutral for interiors and fashion, many women have opted out. But, Ladies, Ladies, I…
Simplicity is The Ultimate Form of Luxury
This time of year tends to be focused on decluttering, simplifying, and torture (usually in the form of some overly zealous diet resolutions) which is usually because we all partied, celebrated, and splurged a bit too much in December, but January doesn’t have to be about self deprecation and retribution. Simplifying our…
THE BEFORE:: A South Carolina Craftsmen Makeover + GIVEAWAY!
I was super excited when I was contacted by my clients, Michaela and Mike, who recently moved into their dream home, along with their two boys. Their house is a craftsmen style retreat on a large and private wooded lot in South Carolina. It’s just gorgeous, isn’t it? I’ve known Michaela since we…
Scandinavian Elegance Meets Mid Century Modern
It was not so long ago that the trend was for women to be the sole decorators of the home, and for many, that meant that home interiors mostly reflected her taste. These days, though, we’ve got the guys to consider which is why we are seeing more and more interiors that have blended styles….
Messy Hair, Classic Pieces, & Modern Design
I have been thinking a lot about this upcoming year and what I want. It’s what we are suppose to do in January, right? Part of looking into a new year is looking back, accepting what cannot be changed, and moving forward with what can. When it comes to design and living…
Romita and 2016 Interior Spaces to Visit
Ahhh… A New Year has begun and I hope for each one of you it is filled with magic, happiness, and great health! Now, we all have probably heard that making New Year’s resolutions has become a bit “out of vogue” and goals are the latest trend, but either way, the New Year…
