Some of my favorite projects aren’t big, start from scratch renovations but spaces that can be elevated with color to create a more personalized look and mood. Working with my pal Ferney on his kitchen with the help of completely transformed his basic white kitchen to a warm, layered room to gather. I previously used this same color Affogato in my own office and it was exactly the same kind of rich saturation we needed to balance to cobalt blue tile we recently installed.

Cause progress should be celebrated.

Taking a traditional home in Chapel Hill and transforming into the guest house for The Woobles, is a pure lesson in color. Even colors I myself have never used before. Our clients wanted (and I quote); quirky, durpy, colorful and budget friendly. SIGN US UP! A few befores at the end to give you some context…

Final photos coming soon but gosh this one has been fun to share the process. So. Who knows what a Wooble is and have you spotted them out in the wild like we have?

Even though it’s still HOT here in Charlotte, I have been fully immersing myself in all things cozy and warm as of late. Personally I am really loving the rich tones that are all coming back in full force and consider them to be timeless. I decided to repaint what was the previous craft room now turned office ceiling from a bright blue to a cocoon-like feel using the color Affogato Little Greene. This warm shade doesn’t feel heavy or imposing but helps ground the room and bring out the tones of the wood shelving unit making it feel intentional and cohesive. So now it’s a little like a nice warm hug to work in. :)

My dear firefighter friend Ferney .nc has done so much to help me out with his incredible talent over the past few years. So when he moved into his new home, I seized the opportunity to help him make it his own. My friends at know a little something about how to personalize a space. Installing their Chaine Homme tile in a combo of navy blue gloss and navy blue matte took this white kitchen from meh to majorrrrr vibes. Literally every time I use it’s a wow moment..

We secretly (not so secretly) refer to Ferney as hot firefighter. ;) Sorry ladies, he’s off the market. But if you’re in need of some custom woodworking, he’s your man. For example, he MADE the center island himself. Not too shabby, Fern.

Now have that housewarming party already, wouldya? 💙

When invited me to guest curate a collection, I didn’t start with anything other than a feeling. A loose thread. That loose place where beauty meets curiosity. That’s when art speaks to me.

Maybe it’s in an unexpected color combination, a subject that feels nostalgic in the best way, or a piece that’s just the right amount of irreverent. That’s always where home begins for me—with the art.

Because art is the thing that gives a space its pulse. Its personality. Its weird little wink.

I curated this collection around the feeling I’m always chasing in my own home: playful, layered, soulful, a touch unexpected, maybe a little unsettling and deeply intentional. The kind of pieces that start conversations and quietly shape the mood of a room long before anything else does.

Explore the full collection of one-of-a-kind works at the link in bio ✨
Because I’d love to know-which pieces are pulling you in?

It’s almost time the Chantilly Neighborhood Home Tour! TWO of these beautiful homes were part of Artfully Designed Season 2 on HBO Max Magnolia Network. The best part about both of these homes are the people living in them. Their homes are fun, funky, colorful and whimsical reflecting their individual styles and collected and curated interiors. It’s been such a joy to work with Matt & Jacquelyn Stafford Tugwell (Twine & Twig®) as well as Thomas & Danielle Moody. Please come check their awesomeness out by attending the Chantilly Home Tour this Saturday. See Chantilly Neighborhood for more info! Missing my fellow co-stars Racheal Jackson and FRANKIE ZOMBIE more than ever 💛

Hope to see you there! ✌🏻

Commissioning artwork has a kind of magic to it that buying art off the wall just can’t replicate. The most special part is that the piece doesn’t just belong in your home—it begins with you.

That’s why it was so deeply personal for our family to be a part of this process ourselves collaborating on a custom work of art with Jay Gutnick and artist .gray.

Teal Canvas is a bespoke art concierge service that collaborates with collectors and interior designers to commission gallery level art tailed to space and style. I explored work from their incredible roster of over 100 artists, and I instantly connected with Xenia Gray’s work for the commissioned work we had made for our daughter, “The Offering”.

With their set of emerging and established fine artists that are as collaborative as they are talented, Teal Canvas is able to fulfill any commission for its buyers. No matter the style, size, or subject. Meaning a personalized, collaborative experience for all.

Highly recommend scheduling your own consultation with Jay to see what magic unfolds for YOU!

I am a designer with a STRONG love for color! It’s near impossible to tell from a tiny swatch how the actual color you loving is going to translate inside the lighting of your own home. In order for me to make the most confident decisions for myself and my clients, my go-to is peel & stick paint samples. Two coats of real paint from top brands in large scale formats allows you to actually see how the tones will tie in to your design.

Color confidence is the true key to design. Why not simplify the process with
