In our new #vacationhome, hanging #wallpaper wherever we could helped give each room its own unique identity. Every room and hallway has a different wallpaper. We even placed it on the staircase risers. https://t.co/lbqCWazwym #interiordesign

It might seem like there’s no real rhyme or reason to our new home, but there is: This is the furniture and art that we love. And taken together, it’s a representation of us as a couple. https://t.co/lbqCWazwym #vacationhome #westpalmbeach

Design schemes for vacation homes tend to be pretty simple. Afterall, they’re meant to be places that offer a reprieve from life’s daily stressors. But I went the other direction with ours and made sure each room has its own distinct personality. https://t.co/lbqCWazwym

We bought a #vacationhome on a whim. We couldn’t have known then that a pandemic was on the horizon and that it was going to turn our #makeover into a marathon. But we finally made it across the finish line, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it. https://t.co/lbqCWazwym

Ever noticed how a fully-furnished room doesn’t look finished until the tabletops have been styled? Yeah, that’s not a coincidence. For more: https://t.co/HefTjmU2C4. #interiordesignideas #interiordesigner

#Snowedin – again? Get a little #crafty and #decorate a tabletop. You’ll be surprised by how absorbing it is. And every time you walk by that spot, it’ll make you feel a little happier. Click the link for a few tips on how to get started: https://t.co/HefTjmU2C4.

With the prospect of spending the remainder of winter grounded at home, the walls started to close in on me. And then it hit me: Create a bunch of tabletop winter wonderlands around the house. Simple and festive. https://t.co/HefTjmU2C4 #interiordesignideas

Just because you’re staying home on #valentinesday2021 doesn’t mean it’s not a special occasion. Piecing together a simple and inexpensive tabletop arrangement like this one can really help set the mood. Follow the link, and I’ll show you how. https://t.co/HefTjmU2C4

This might sound sacrilegious coming from an #interiordesigner, but when you’re plotting your #kitchenrenovation, let the appliances dictate a layout. Above everything else, a kitchen needs to be functional. https://t.co/JAiiZapWbo

A #kitchenrenovation is one of the most meaningful upgrades you can make to your home, but it can also become a money pit when you let Pinterest take the wheel. Follow the link for a few basic guidelines I’ve honed through countless kitchen redesigns. https://t.co/JAiiZapWbo

Making your home cozier doesn’t need to be a chore. Swap in heavier window treatments, stack some thick hardcover books here and there, and don’t neglect the lighting. Aim for a couple different kinds that create a layering effect. Nothing too bright. #interiordesignideas

A #fireplace should be the centerpiece of the room, but nothing says everything needs to be match-y, match-y. I didn’t design this monolithic concrete fireplace to blend into the renovated barn we call home. #interiordesign #buckscounty

Color plays a big part in how we feel in a space. Every season, I swap out throw pillows, flower arrangements, and a few other highly-visible accessories to keep my home’s palette in sync with what’s going on outside. #hibernationmode #BucksCounty

As we gradually begin to retreat back inside, my mind jumps to one of my favorite spaces (and renovations). Click the link for the story behind it: https://t.co/8MOIurLuuh. #interiordesign #renovation

I’m never happy to see #LaborDay, but this might be the one #summer I don’t mind seeing come to an end. Brighter days are ahead of us. In the meantime, there’s still room to savor this one. Enjoy the day and those you’re spending it with.

I like my home office to walk the line between “I’ve gotten so much done, and it’s only 10 AM!” and five minutes of scrolling on my phone somehow turned into an hour-and-a-half. #HomeOffice #interiordesignideas

If you didn’t wake up to a chandelier hanging over your bed, you’re missing out. Before you say, “That’s so pretentious,” do a quick Google. #Chandeliers, like any light fixture, come in a wide price range. Of course, you’re the only one who needs to know that. #interiordesign
