Naturi Naughton Shade Store Nicole Gibbons -2

An important element in a room that often gets overlooked are window treatments. Like choosing the right shoes or accessories to complete an outfit, perfectly chosen window treatments are the final touch that gives a well-designed room a polished and pulled together look.  When I was working on Naturi Naughton’s nursery, I collaborated with The Shade Store to create a beautiful, custom roman shade for the space and I’m excited to share a peek inside the process plus a few tips and tricks for getting the look just right.

Sometimes curtains just won’t cut it. Case in point: this …

It’s neutral so it can pair with just about any color palette and it adds a rich and timeless quality. Here’s a peek at a bedroom I designed which features a lovely cognac leather bed. Inspired by the decor in one of my favorite brunch spots in LA, I juxtaposed the neutral leather with a beautiful aqua colored strie wallpaper by Farrow & Ball.

Cognac leather is typically seen as a more masculine …

Mindy Kaling New York Apartment Home 3

There aren’t enough funny women in the spotlight but thank goodness for Mindy Kaling! Her quirky, candid, self-deprecating humor is totally relatable and serves to remind us that we’re all normal! She’s definitely girl-crush worthy but equally crush-worthy is her newly decorated NYC apartment!

Mindy collaborated with One Kings Lane to design the space which serves as her second home. With Mindy busy working on projects in LA, and her designer in New York, the collaboration happened remotely with lots of calls and emails over several months. The process went surprisingly smooth since Mindy, having grown up with an architect …

I came across a recent project by French Architect Joseph Dirand that perfectly illustrates this idea in context and it moved me to explore his work a bit further. Now I’ve developed a total design crush! Dirand’s work …
