Happy Father’s Day to all the incredible dads out there! I’m so grateful to my wonderful children for making me a dad! Being a father and grandpa has been one of the biggest blessings of my life. How are you all celebrating today?
We’re back at the Kips Bay Designer Showhouse and I was dying to show you this upstairs terrace by @ellenkavanaugh. This space exudes beach paradise and reminds me of a chic spot in St. Barths. It was inspired by beach clubs of the late ’70’s and early ’80’s. It is the perfect space to play a game or enjoy a tropical cocktail. This space contains everything you need to entertain your favorite people.
Thayer Coggin brings my furniture visions to life! Their custom-made pieces are some of my favorites to incorporate in all types of spaces. They are just as functional as they are beautiful and the craftmanship is a dream!
Who says you need to go for a plain white subway tile for the backsplash? I say opt for an interesting pattern to really take the kitchen up a notch!
First impressions are important, and the exterior of the home is the first thing people will notice before they even set foot into your house. Does your home have curb appeal? Here are some of my favorite home exteriors I’ve done in recent years.
Here’s another stunning room by @bittybromly at the Kips Bay Designer Showhouse. This bedroom may be petite, but it’s incredibly interesting. The bed posts are done in fabric and contrast perfectly with the ornate hand painted pink parrot wall covering. This bedroom is very old world and Palm beach to me. This room is ALL about the details!
The week is almost over! How about unwinding in this gorgeous tub with a view?! My client’s bathroom is the definition of supreme luxury. What a dream!
It really is the littlest details that make the biggest difference in our daily lives. My client loves to cook, so my team installed a pot filler faucet into the backsplash above the stove to save those trips to the sink just to fill a pot for boiling. The functionality is incredible!
Believe it or not, the perfect staple furniture can be as hard to find as a needle in a haystack. But Ladco Design Center’s extensive variety of unique pieces makes it easy to furnish any space.
This month’s Back to Basics will feature some of my favorite rooms during my recent visit to the Kips Bay Designer Showhouse in Palm Beach, FL. This small bathroom named “A Mirrored Bathroom” by the lovely @bittybromly is a DREAM! The Versailles pattern of the Italian Rosa Portugal marble on the antique mirrored walls adds the most exquisite touch and makes the space seem much larger than it is. The matching floors and tub really tie it all together. Check back next week to see another one of my favorites from the showhouse!

The weather is warmer, the sun is brighter, and it’s officially summer! This calls for a dip in the pool, don’t you think? 🏊♂
Let’s toast to the long Memorial Day weekend on a gorgeous porch by the sea. How are you celebrating? Let me know in the comments!
There’s something very charming about matching a table lamp to the hues in a wall covering or bedroom screen. ✨
As I always say, no matter how small a bathroom is, you can always make it spectacular. This particular bathroom by @amymorrisinteriors features a bold wall covering which I think makes any small bathroom interesting. The wall covering exudes Palm Beach to me. The lipstick red vanity gives real contrast to the space making it something truly special.
Things are slowly starting to get back to normal, so I’ve begun traveling again! I was fortunate enough to visit the Kips Bay Designer Showhouse in Palm Beach!
This is one of my favorite bedrooms I toured from fellow Houston designer @ninamagonstudio. I love the added feature of the lighting lining the bed and side tables, as well as the block paneling in a unique and flattering blush color.
This room is understated, yet absolutely spectacular.
Check out the final presentation I did for my client for their gorgeous contemporary Houston Heights home. This one might just be my favorite. Since starting this project, my clients discovered that they are expecting, and they are not finding out the gender until birth! So, we pivoted and turned the second guest bedroom into a gender-neutral nursery. How precious is this?
Throughout my career, I have made it my goal to nurture relationships and understand my clients’ needs and wants. My team takes architectural design and personal style to create a space that is an extension of who our clients are.

Great quality bed linens take any bedroom to new heights. Afterall, the bed is where we spend 8+ hours of our day. I love to choose linens that are not only stylish and trendy, but super comfortable as well. That’s why I frequently choose @legacylinens! Their bed linens, headboards, and pillows are the best!
Entryways immediately set the tone for a home. It’s key to keep things functional and orderly for a welcoming and peaceful ambiance. I like to add a bowl on a small table to corral keys, change, and sunglasses or a small stool or bench to put on and take off shoes. Hooks are also a lifesaver to quickly hang up bags, coats, or scarves.
