We’re getting ready for some really fun photoshoots this summer so I will leave you with a few shots of this beautiful kitchen we finished earlier this year. The sunshine feels perfect for today which is going to be a hot one in NY 🌞🕶️

Also, I was obsessed with sunflowers in high school and then they were so uncool for many years. But I’m happy they’re back! How could a flower ever be out of style. It’s nature!

Let's be clear, it's your house and you can and should do what makes you happy. Want purple wallpaper? Install it because it makes you happy! Who cares what the haters think.

But there are a few design related hills that I will die on. And I will always push my clients on these too. That's because these things make your house feel like the absolute best extension of you. Isn't that what we're all pining for? A home that reflects us and the people in it? So go ahead and install what makes your heart sing, take these key pieces of advice too.

A few views of this lovely entry foyer. A bit of storage for the family chaos (when will my kids learn to not leave their shoes in the middle of the hall? 😫). A silk look wallpaper to add a bit of softness and a few beautiful accents so the room doesn’t feel too utilitarian. Also because who doesn’t love to put their keys down next to freshly cut flowers?

Also, we’re having a discussion in the office if this is an Entryway, Foyer or Entry Foyer. What do you call it?
