Every day starts anew, and sometimes our routines work, and other times we just have to throw our hands up and be okay with an alternate day. Because who has time to get it right every single time?!

Who doesn’t love a good meal out?! And even though Covid is still around, here is a round-up of my favorite places — to either order from, or get yourself into in person once the world is in a better place to do so. Fun to have plans ahead!

Every year the holidays creep up on us in our seemingly typical whirlwind of rushing around to tend to this that and the other. In most years it seems impossible to also find quiet time to capture the crafting and making of fun traditional holiday activities.

With Zoom and all video conferencing now such a big part of our daily lives, we took inspiration from our friends at Gottesman Residential and decided to give you some fun (and very beautiful) images to share as your own background image.

In my art as in my design, my broad understanding of cultural transcendence stems from a childhood of existing between two continents. Born in the U.S. but raised between Europe and the States with my single mother, I was quick to adapt to new surroundings and experiences out of necessity.

What I love most about the Christmas break is the opportunity to really take my time to just “be” with friends and family. Girl’s festive lunches and team holiday parties, traditions with our children of baking cookies, trimming the tree and re-discovering old memories of celebrations past. How sweet is it to revisit those baby feet ornaments of long ago toddler days?!

When you walk into your home, can you distill what represents you best there? That essence is key behind any of my projects – getting to the crux of what makes you…you. Gone should be the home design that simply looks good. There is no need for the façade.

If you’ve been following us for a while (thank you very kindly!), you’ll know that as a design studio we spend a lot of time customizing metals, burnishing and shaping them into signature elements in each of our projects. This is because I absolutely love the richness and the feel of the right material.

Each year the holidays suddenly appear and there seems to be a scramble to get everything done. Even though this year feels no different, let’s make it so (!) and finally take our time to enjoy the spirit of giving and the time it takes to truly find the right thing for a friend or loved one.

Yep, I’m a creative person. Almost everything I do in my life actually, somehow involves my creative streak. Not sure which came first of course, but for as long as I can remember, I have used my hands, my brains, my capacity for making things.

This past week was my umpteenth time heading to Round Top. It’s always a great time of year, a wonderful way to help my autumn projects further along and a unique time for me to have a nice long day of full, direct time with my clients. Really the ideal way for me to spend a prolonged period of time with them, and help go through fun items like the discovery and education of a piece.

You may have noticed that almost every time I to tackle a kitchen remodel, there’s nothing I love more than tiling it floor to ceiling. Yep, give me the chance to get into tile, and more is always better! I have definitely mastered what to do and how to do it when it comes to tiling and I never get bored!

Great inspiration is continuously around us. One way to feel inspired is to pursue or get lost in design books. I have always had a love of reading, not to mention a deep interest and admiration of some of our time’s great influencers.

Valentine’s Day means everyone’s coupling up. So in spirit of the holiday we’re pulling our 7 Perfect Pairs of home design. These pieces are sharing the love in unexpected ways.

“New Year, new you!” as the saying goes…well, from our perspective, hopefully not an entirely new you. Instead how about a more-dedicated-to-me-time you?

The holidays are right around the corner! The Curated Collection is a grouping of vintage, hand-picked, small décor items selected by our own expert Lieve Saether, Principal Designer of Turnstyle Design.

As the definer of nineties fashion photography, Peter Lindbergh gave birth to the notion of the super model. This fresh release (Sept 2016) gives insight and reminiscence to us generation xers.

Architecture is at the heart of all interior design, with ceilings often overlooked in terms of their significance. Bring a historical context and some age into the equation, and one can easily come upon a structured upward view that’s ever so breathtaking.

With so much style and sophistication packed into our “Gift Guide For Him,” you’re bound to surprise him with something unique and more importantly, timeless this holiday season.

So when it comes to finishing up a space, as you can imagine, there are lots of details one needs to put attention to. The old adage: the details are everything, are truly…everything.
