A week in the life of a designer.

From launching the next phase of a Manhattan apartment refresh to selecting the finishing details for a beautiful home in Cold Spring, this week has been all about the relationships, craftsmanship, and thoughtful decisions that bring a home together. Different homes. Different design challenges. The same commitment to making every detail count.

And always, the people who make the journey so rewarding. A little glimpse behind the scenes of my week!

A visit to Cold Spring, where the finishing touches are coming together in a very special client’s home.

On our agenda: finalizing the stair runner selections and designing some special pillows to complement the new custom Chesterfield sofa and swivel chairs. It’s often these final layers — the textures, patterns, and personal details — that make a beautifully designed space feel truly like home.

And there’s another possible treat in store. Our client is a wonderful singer-songwriter, and I’m hoping we might be lucky enough to enjoy a little serenade while we’re there! Beautiful interiors, creative collaboration, and the people who make this work so rewarding. What could be better?

There’s nothing quite like working with people you know and trust.

On Monday, we returned to our client’s Beekman Place apartment in NYC to launch Phase II of her refresh. We reunited with Tzion of Avior G-Touchwood Inc GC , our trusted general contractor and cabinetmaker, who created all the beautiful built-in cabinetry throughout the apartment, including the unforgettable piano-red lacquer kitchen!

There’s a wonderful sense of confidence that comes from working with a team that already knows the home, understands the client’s expectations, and has demonstrated the quality and care they bring to every detail. With another member of our design team also returning to the project, we’re building on relationships and experience already established.

This next phase includes restoration of the floors, walls, and ceilings. The new flooring arrived Tuesday to acclimate to its new environment, and now the fun begins!

Great design is about more than beautiful spaces. It’s also about the trusted relationships that make the entire process better for our clients.

Some moments are especially sweet. ❤️

Celebrating the wedding of Ediley , who was a treasured student, intern and then junior designer on our team. I truly think of her as a daughter, and the wedding was incredibly joyful, filled with love, and all in Spanish! Set in the Japanese gardens at the Hammond Museum in North Salem, NY, it was a spectacular event and Mother Nature delivered!

One of the beautiful gifts of my career has been the relationships that continue long after our time working together. It’s such a joy to see the people who have been part of our studio begin exciting new chapters in their lives.

Ediley, what a joy to celebrate this wonderful occasion with you! Wishing you and Emanuel both a lifetime of love, laughter, beauty, and happiness. 🥂💕

The longer I work in design, the less interested I am in whether something is “on trend.”

I notice proportion. I notice how a room feels when I walk into it. I notice whether the materials feel authentic, whether something has been added simply to fill a space and whether the pieces in a room actually have a relationship with one another.

Of course I pay attention to what is happening in design. You can’t work creatively and not be influenced by what you see around you.

But a beautiful room needs something more than what is current. It needs a point of view.

The rooms I find most interesting are usually the ones where you can feel the person who lives there. There may be something unexpected, something collected years ago, something imperfect or something you would never find in a photograph of the latest trend.

Maybe that’s one of the gifts of doing this for as long as I have. You stop asking, “Is this what everyone is doing?”
You start asking, “Is this right for this room and this person?”

That is a much more interesting question.

There is so much that happens before the beautiful part of a design project begins.

We are deep into preparing a proposal for a substantial apartment corridor project right now, looking at scope, timing, resources and all the details that will determine how we approach the work if we move forward.
It is taking longer than I expected. Much longer, actually.

But after more than 30 years of doing this, I know that understanding the complexity at the beginning can prevent a lot of unnecessary complexity later.

So we’re doing the work, asking the questions and getting very close to putting this one out into the world.

And then, hopefully, we get to start designing.

Swipe to see the before!

I’m often asked where it makes sense to invest when furnishing a home and where it’s perfectly reasonable to spend less.

My answer is rarely as simple as “save here, splurge there.”

Instead, I like to think about how a piece will be used, how long it needs to last, how difficult it would be to replace and what it contributes to the room.

A main sofa? I’m always inclined to invest. Comfort, construction and proportion matter too much for a piece you’ll use every day.

An occasional table, pillow or decorative object? That’s often where we can spend a little less and have more fun with color, pattern or something of-the-moment.

Lighting and the hardware you touch every day are other areas where quality can make a noticeable difference, even if the investment isn’t always the first thing you see.

And art? I don’t think price should determine its value at all. The right piece is the one that means something to you.

A beautiful room doesn’t require everything in it to come from the same price category. It requires knowing what deserves the investment, where you have room to experiment and when something is simply too perfect to leave behind.

While at the Jeffery Michaels Roadshow, a fabulous sourcing and shopping experience, I discovered , a beautiful collection of handcrafted wallcoverings made for every application.

From walls and ceilings to closets and unexpected spaces, these pieces bring an incredible level of artistry and craftsmanship to a project. We’re so excited to have discovered this resource and can’t wait to find the perfect opportunity to use it!

True artisanship, beautiful materials, and endless possibilities.

Reflecting on a rather remarkable birthday celebration. Ross and I joined my ASID Florida South Chapter chapter members for our Annual Meeting aboard a dinner cruise in Miami, and having it fall on my birthday made the evening especially meaningful.

The yacht was wonderful, the weather was perfect, and an extraordinary orange full moon rose over the water. But what mattered most was being surrounded by my people - old and new friends and colleagues who have been part of so many chapters of my career, along with our amazing industry partners who made the evening possible.

Birthdays have a way of making us reflect on the people who have shared the journey with us. After more than three decades in this profession, many of those professional relationships have become enduring friendships, and I don’t take that for granted.

There was a bit of nostalgia, too. Ross and I lived in Miami part-time for five years, yet I had never experienced the city quite like this. Seeing that familiar skyline from the water gave me an entirely different perspective on a place that holds so many memories for us.

A beautiful evening, Ross beside me, and so many people who truly care about our profession around me. I couldn’t have asked for a more meaningful way to celebrate another trip around the sun.
