Can You Feel The Power Couple In this Home?

June 21, 2018 · In: Interior design

I always think it’s funny when someone refers to a married pair as a “power couple” but when it’s Architectural Digest using the term my ears definitely perk up.  She, a CEO of Clique, a digital firm with Who What Wear on its roster, and he a commercial photographer with names like Jennifer Lawrence and Cindy Crawford in his portfolio… well, it just sounds like success and style should just be oozing out of their home… and maybe that’s why I can’t seem to tear myself away from their home tour.  

It’s not completely my personal style, but something about it feels incredibly stylish and yet equally approachable, something I think most of us would love for our home to feel.  And I think there is an enormous value in evaluating the “secret sauce” that someone else uses to make a home so intriguing.

Here is what I took away:

Go black in the kitchen

It’s dramatic and elegant

I’ve been debating a black kitchen for a long while and seeing their kitchen makes me want to jump headlong into my own reno.  So many people tell me that it will be too dark, but this isn’t dark or heavy at all!

Mix your

Material

I say that all the time!

Wood, Leather, Metal, Paper… Even when it’s super tidy, a mix of materials always make a space more interesting.


MAKE IT COMFORTABLE

MAKE IT COMFORTABLE

Create spaces that are inviting and cozy.  A warm color on the shelves echoes the perfect imperfections of the soot filled fireplace.  Someone actually uses that thing!

Embrace the Light

Don’t cover up your greatest asset with heavy drapes and blinds.  Let the light shine in!

Mix Your Styles

Eclectic is TOTALLY in.

A traditional basket with a classic rug, a modern tub, and a mid century piece of art?  GENIUS.  You aren’t one thing and your home doesn’t have to be either.

Invest in great pieces for kids that will take them from infancy to adulthood.  They will love growing up with their furniture and even taking it with them to their first home!

You are a Family

Not a design statement 

Don’t forget that your home is an extension of you and the wonderful people you share it with.  Let go of trends and design magazines and focus on creating a home that is personal and really represents the life you are living!

#EGPartner @vrbo recently published their Annual T #EGPartner @vrbo recently published their Annual Travel Trend Report called Unpack ‘26 and it got me so excited about planning our next trip! 

One of my favorite trends? Farm Charm. In 2026, it’s all about slowing down and reconnecting - and farm stays are leading the way.​ Think nature walks, stargazing, and relaxing with friends and family. Vrbo highlights how travelers are trading city lights for starlit skies.

Comment COZY to get the links to our faves!

Guys!! It’s cozy season and the sheets you sleep on make such a big difference to how you feel as you run and jump into bed (or just glide in nonchalantly!) We love to get cozy with coffees, slow mornings, and cheesy rom coms… and of course, lots of books!

But these luxe sheets by @brooklinen also help us sleep better! They are very cooling and feel super silky! We chose the slate color and it’s so striking and warm! And the waffle weave blanket adds that extra layer of cozy! 

Check out their bundles and save even more! (Because you are going to want it all!) and you can mix and match the colors depending on your bedroom decor! Eekk! I’m soooo excited to get our cozy season started off just right! 

Comment COZY and I’ll send you the links to my faves! XxV
