Project Spotlight: Peacock Powder Bath Design

Wallpaper is a great way to add design interest to a project to bring it life and give the space character.

Project Spotlight: The McCollum Office

This project might be one of my favorite ones to date. There are so many parallels between the design concept, my personal life, and my client’s story, too!

Project Spotlight: The Willow Mudroom

A mudroom is one of the most requested spaces from clients taking on a new-build or home renovation project. I love designing a mudroom that will maximize storage while also giving an entire family their own spot to hang all the things!
