Dreaming of relaxing in this primary bath

Professional advice for those preparing for construction in the Los Angeles area:

This week, I have attended numerous meetings with clients, vendors, architects, and contractors regarding our current and future projects.

The consensus is that existing projects will not be impacted by permit delays for at least six months. However, we anticipate significant material shortages and price increases. Furthermore, it will be challenging to secure contractors, architects, designers, and subcontractors who are available. In fact, I have already received inquiries from individuals seeking to reserve my services.

To mitigate these challenges, I recommend purchasing necessary materials as soon as possible. I have advised my clients, who are at various stages of construction, to procure finish materials, lighting, plumbing fixtures, and appliances immediately and consider renting storage units if necessary. If there is sufficient interest, I may even rent a storage unit to store materials for my clients.

It is also essential to reserve your architecture and construction team as soon as possible. With 16 years of experience in the interior design industry, I have established relationships with exceptional professionals and am happy to provide referrals.

For individuals affected by the recent fires, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding preparation for construction.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, my love for my city runs deep. It’s hard to imagine living anywhere else. Growing up here means navigating a world of endless opportunity and contradictions, where neighborhoods evolve and cultures blend. You learn to adapt, embrace change, and find meaning in the small moments — like late-night tacos with friends or the palms that remind you you’re part of something bigger.
LA is a city built on resilience. Fires may threaten, but they will never break us . When the hills burn, neighbors check on each other, and the city unites. The land may scorch, but the people rebuild and rise stronger. No fire can ever fully consume a city that has been reborn time and again 🌴💪

Grateful that my clients encourage my throw pillow addiction

Design Tip: Don’t neglect your entry! Make sure your home is inviting from the moment you walk in, as well as functional.

A mirror not only makes the space look larger, but it’s a last look moment before you leave for work or a night out. A fun umbrella stand, a place for your keys and lots of lighting options will bring your design together 🪞🌂🗝️🔑
