I hope you’re enjoying some time off. Perhaps you are away on a fun vacation, or relaxing at home. I’m hanging out at home with Dan’s family, and trying not to juggle a million thin...
Honestly I didn’t spend much time thinking about that, until one morning last weekend Luke was sitting in my bed on my Greek Key Duvet and said “why do you have Pandora, the God of the de...
Our taste changes, we move, we get married, we want a new beginning, we break up, we get divorced, we retire, we get a new job, we evolve. With every life change there’s always a bunch of furni...
DEAR Friends, Readers, Designers, Design Enthusiasts! We sent this newsletter out today — we’re looking for customers with our key bedding or pillows to share snap shots of your rooms. We...
My desk has been a very crowded and scary busy space for the last few weeks. Lily and I are in full work mode, from morning to late night. The to-do-list is long! I’m working on finishing up de...
It’s funny how our children turn out like us… When Luke was a baby I was acting and writing scripts most of the time. Actually pretty obsessively, as that’s how I approach everythin...
I’m sourcing fabrics, furniture and items for a number of homes that I’m currently designing. It’s been a bit of a crazy pace, since my private label is growing rapidly and there...
I get asked the question all the time “what inspires you?” There are always a million answers as inspiration is all around everyday. But there are also a ton of talented interior designer...
IKEA- you love it you hate it. In the picture below I’m standing outside one of the first giant IKEA stores ever to open. We had it in Sweden W-A-Y before it ever opened up over here. W-A-Y bef...
It’s easy to forget the impact of a black ceiling. And it’s easy not to dare to do it. You’re always told, raise up the ceiling, give the room “air”, paint it white. Sur...
Hello Monday! Just random design things I like. Good ideas for your home,great colors, or great products. Or just random. These are from the internet. If you know the source or blog that any of these...
Time flies. One year ago today LiveLikeYou the website launched! THANK YOU TO ALL WONDERFUL READERS, FOLLOWERS,CLIENTS AND CUSTOMERS!!! Boy, have I learned a lot this year. From your failures and suc...
I think perfect homes are boring. They lack soul, they lack personality, and they never give off the feeling that happy people live in them. When I set out to create my first home, I thought it had t...
Whoa! Been designing pretty much non stop for DAYS! Finishing up some design plans for a few clients, and I’ve had my nose buried in colors, measurements, fabrics and furniture! Since we came ...
Just a reminder, in case you missed it. My curated sale on Joss & Main starts tomorrow (Sunday morning). I selected some really cool mid century inspired pieces, cabinets and items with geometri...
Hi everyone! Did you have a great Easter? We arrived back last night, refreshed and invigorated. I’ve been up since 5am (that’s when I love jet lag) to get an early start to a super busy...
I forgot how much I love Easter over here. The fresh cold air is just slowly giving way to early signs of spring. Nothing is green yet, but tiny buds make their way, fighting through even the occasio...
We’ve been waiting all winter for snow to fall in Sweden, so a Town & Country winter shoot could take place at our house. The magazine’s plan was an authentic Bergmanesque magical win...
You might have already seen this Greenwich village home in Harper’s Bazaar, or on another blog. But it really belongs in this series. Enjoy! All images via Harper’s Bazaar. This last imag...
I’m back. Well this trip did not turn out the way we had expected. We had NO IDEA that there was a huge DJ festival in all of Miami, and that one of the biggest DJ concerts would take place at...
Every week is not so pretty. You, go, go, go until late at night and you’re up at the crack of dawn. You work the early morning shift, the day shift and the late night shift multitasking every ...
Okay, our new Hawaii Regency look is on LiveLikeYou! Hop over and have a look! Luke said…. Mom, you should say “Go on staycation with Aloha Chic” so we used it, and he’s now t...
The article in Svenska Dagbladet came out yesterday. I added the link here, but I know most of you won’t be able to read it. It talks about my belief that your home affects you deeply –i...
So it’s time again…for a new look on Live Like You. I’ve been looking forward to this one. ALOHA CHIC launches next Thursday March 15th! It’s making me realize that if you mi...
Okay…this is a post my mother will probably hate. Our sweet summer house in Sweden has graciously escaped my need to modernize and colorize. Yet I’m planning now, how to carefully add som...
Got some cool things to share. First up some fun news. (I hope it’s okay I write this now a week early) The shoot for Svenska Dagbladet, Sweden’s largest newspaper is coming out soon in...
On top of full service design, I do lots of design consultations. For those clients who are happy to do the leg work themselves my new design services, which will go on Marmalade this week and can be...
One of the hardest things to find is chic modern carpets, in geometric patterns, and MOST importantly in fun colors. Although I’m in the process of streamlining the product selection on LiveLik...
We’re back, we’re tired, but refreshed. Sometimes the most fun things are not preplanned….Well what better way to get over a hard time than doing something difficult….like swi...
I’m leaving for the long weekend on a way over due break, as Luke, Dan and I will be going down to warmer temperatures. Luke more than any of us needs this. Something new to take in, to remind ...
