Come with me on an installation day 🤍

There is honestly nothing like it. After months of planning, sourcing, and sketching everything out on paper, this is the day it all finally comes to life in person. We packed up, headed down the shore, and got to watch an empty house slowly start to feel like home.

It is never perfectly smooth. There is always a little surprise waiting for us, but honestly, figuring it out is half the fun. This one is not quite finished, so stay tuned. We cannot wait to show you how it all comes together!

I know my place 🤍

Before any project truly begins, we start right here in our Philadelphia studio, surrounded by tile and fabric and a hundred little material samples 🤍

We start pulling finishes and layering, a pop of purple here, a soft mint and teal there, texture on texture, until a room slowly comes to life before a single thing is ever built. It all begins with space plans and a full presentation for the client, but the real magic happens the moment they walk into the studio and get to touch everything. Seeing the material in a photo is one thing. Running your hand over the tile you are about to live with is a completely different feeling, and that is when it all becomes real!

I was asked for advice on redoing a home so here it is… step away from the all gray and beige! There are so many beautiful colors out there and a few soft pastels or greens can warm up a space in the best way. 

What other questions do you have?!
