My Happy Place

As an entrepreneur I love the work that I do and wouldn’t trade it for the world but I work hard! Like ridiculous hours, often on the weekends, plus I travel quite a bit so I hardly ever have time to myself to just relax and veg out. I’m often asked “what do you like to do when you’re not working?” and I feel lame for not having some super interesting answer but the truth is, what I love to do more than anything when I have the free time is absolutely nothing! It’s such a luxury and there’s nothing …

5 Tips for Decorating with Plants

One of my favorite ways to brighten up my home is to incorporate a bit of greenery which is sure to bring burst of color and life into any room. Plants make your home feel welcoming and inspiring which will in turn enhance your mood and – bonus – many plants filter toxins from the air, acting as natural air purifiers so having them in your home is healthy too! (Win, win!) If you’re like me and live in an apartment with no outdoor space, or you just want to brighten up your home, consider incorporating house plants into your …

I only first learned of Sidibé several years ago when I stumbled across an exhibition of his work at the M+B gallery in LA and instantly fell in love! His subjects had so much style! A fun little fact that was told to me by the gallerist at M+B is that Sidibé …

Project Tour: Inside My Room for Design on a Dime 2016!

I recently finished up a charity design project for a wonderful organization called Housing Works that supports the HIV/AIDS community in New York. You’ve probably heard me talk about their Annual fundraiser called Design on a Dime here on the blog before. It’s a charity shopping event where interior designers create beautiful rooms and everything is sold to benefit Housing Works. This year I co-chaired the event and teamed up with Lowe’s to design a room for the event and I’m excited to show you inside the room! When you partake in an event such as this, it’s typically at …

Updating My Bedroom for Spring (Plus a Giveaway!)

Living in New York City can be overwhelming and when you combine that daily hustle and bustle with my hectic work life, there is nothing I crave more than the comforts of home. My work hours are usually long so most of the time I only get to enjoy my home in the evening hours as I’m winding down for bedtime so having a beautiful, peaceful and comfortable bedroom where I can get a good night’s sleep is a high priority…because if I don’t sleep well, I basically can’t function in life!

The key to a good night’s sleep is …
