My Style: My style is very fluid and determined more by individual pieces I happen upon and different architecture I have grown to admire. If I were to pinpoint, or summarize, my style, I would say it is a nod to Scandi, with an elemental appreciation of French design but always with respect to where we live; coastal. From my home to my fashion, I don’t believe in rules. Whether it’s a piece of furniture or fashion, as long as it resonates with you, it will work! 

Inspiration: My inspiration has been the many roads I have traveled, which are some of the most magical and sensory delightful locations on earth. My two sons have also helped inspire me to keep things young at heart, playful, and fun and always true to who I am and where I am at in life. 

Favorite Element: I am really fascinated with the power of wallpaper. I used the Boras Tapeter wallpaper for the boys’ bedrooms and hallway. Wallpaper can instantly make a space warm and fun—almost like you are getting a huge hug when you walk into the room.

Biggest Challenge: When we bought the home it was really in dire straits. It had seen the best of the ’90s—think primary colors in every room. The house had great bones and an even better location, so I had to squint my eyes and let my imagination run wild. 

What Friends Say: WOW!! Our friends and family love the home, it has a warmth to it that they say images don’t capture. When my vision comes to fruition, it’s such a nice feeling to be able to share it with those I love.

Proudest DIY: Learning to hang wallpaper. I had heard the many wallpaper horror stories; however, I found it strangely stimulating. It played into my perfectionism, so I enjoyed the challenge and the end result. 

Biggest Indulgence: My Paul Ryan artwork. His contemporary work transports you into a dark and dry narrative while simultaneously filling you with wonder and joy. It’s perfect. 

Best Advice: Don’t follow rules. Buy pieces and make design choices that resonate with you. This will translate into your home and make your home or whatever space you’re working with feel authentic.
