I’m a water person. I always have been and always will be surrounded by it, if I can have my way. Water energizes me as much as it relaxes me. Last weekend, Jevan and I celebrated our 5th anniv...

This recipe just happened on a Saturday morning, as the best breakfasts do. No store lists, no shopping, only what I happened to have in the house. My mother-in-law gave me the Vindaloo spice for Chr...
My good friend Scott Friedman of Gitane Workshop recently shared some new work with me. He’s a master craftsman, that’s for sure. All pieces were built in his Denver, Colorado workshop. H...
I can’t rememeber a time when I’ve ever shown my bedroom. Maybe I have and I apologize if I did, it was likely a sorry state. I’m not one to go out and buy a bunch of pieces all at ...
Photo: my pal Justin Gorman of Paper Make Stack. January is the month of the hustle. I put this mix together with that in mind. It’s what I’ve been listening to as I work. Good focus musi...

New year, new client, new mood. Here’s where my head is at the moment for 2012. A mix of cool and warm. Soft, low light. And definitely a little 70′s bohemian undertones. Jessie, this is ...
I have an unhealthy obsession with lighting. I find myself constantly looking at light fixtures. Lighting can make or break a project so it’s important that the light fixtures used not only fit...
I came across these white blocks recently by Fort Standard. Although they are a game I can’t help but think how beautiful they would look as objects on a small table or with other white pottery...
White and brass office I still love brass. I know it’s nothing new but I can get over how fancy it make a room feel. And as jewelry, it looks great on just about anyone. I read somewhere that i...
Well hello. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Maybe you noticed, maybe you haven’t, it’s been quiet around here for more than a few weeks. November was hectic and December was a b...
I was at the Pop Up Flea last week in New York with the Tanner Goods crew. The flea in itself is an exercise in restraint, even though it’s centered around menswear. As an interior designer and...
A few weeks ago I came across the most amazing floor lamps. I love a good lamp, like some women love a good handbag. Design Within Reach does this smart little write up on all their designers. I was ...

The rain has set in here in Portland and made for a mellow weekend. There was eating, hanging with family and a few birthdays to celebrate. I started Friday with happy hour mai tais and a pupu platte...
I finally had a chance to run up to Seattle last week to catch up with my amazing friend and client, Sally. I took a few quick photos of the kitchen and TV area I designed that was finished this summ...
I’m heading to Palm Springs this weekend for birthday celebrating with a few girlfriends. My birthday is this week and my friend Sarah is celebrating her 30th. Palm Springs seemed like the perf...
Weekend posts are back after a few weeks off! Just in time for Halloween, too. Jevan and I tossed around a number of ideas for the “holiday” and finally settled on Mr. and Mrs. Fox from t...
I’ve always been a bit of a minimalist when it comes to interiors and patterns. Loads of stuff makes me feel claustrophobic and the need to reorganize everything. I’m more of a few specia...
I don’t know where I would be without travel. Possibly still a vegetarian. No offense to you non meat eaters. I was one of you for 9 years. A pescatarian mind you. I swore myself off all things...
After what feels like months of striking out in the furniture department, I found a sofa. A nice slim one that was, how do I put this, cheap. I spent $150 on this little Danish piece of work and I...
As a Southerner, I feel it’s important to have one solid Southern recipe in my back pocket. You know, to prove I actually spent all those years in the south. Biscuits are my favorite Southern f...
Hi friends, Jennifer from I Art U is on her way to NYC and asked me to contribute this week. I used travel as inspiration and put together a mix that’s mellow and good for sitting on an airplan...
The rain is back and it’s finally feeling like fall here in Portland thanks to the extended summer weather experienced last week. The leaves are turning and days are shorter. Must be fall. This...
I wish I could be here blogging away, five days a week. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve tried, but I just can’t keep up. I stick to it for just about a week, maybe two, then I go back to m...
