Big News, Big Design

I’m excited to share that I’ve been accepted as an AD PRO Designer. It’s a great way to start the year and a reminder of what drives my work – our mission. Our focus has always been on creating interiors that feel timeless, personal, and livable.

As we settle into the new year, it feels like the right time to revisit these core principles. Thoughtful design, quality materials, and spaces that reflect the people who live in them. That’s always been the goal, and it’s not changing anytime soon. Read on as I dive into what drives our work.

Well-Designed

Timeless design endures—it doesn’t feel dated or overdone in a few years. That’s why a timeless approach is also a sustainable one. A well-designed kitchen, bathroom, or construction-heavy project should last for decades, not just until the next trend cycle. Choosing colors, textures, and materials you genuinely love—rather than what’s trending—means you won’t feel the urge to redo everything in five years.

Beyond aesthetics, quality matters. Thoughtful material selection and expert installation ensure longevity, reducing the need for premature replacements. The goal is simple: do it right, do it once. A well-planned, high-quality investment today means your home remains beautiful, functional, and intact for 20 years or more, without the need for another costly renovation.

Crafting A Story

Our focus is on creating homes that feel deeply personal, not just beautiful. Every project—whether a historic renovation or new construction—is a collaboration. It’s never about filling a space with furniture but about crafting a story that reflects the people who live there. That’s why you’ll see a range of styles in our work—our clients are just as diverse. Some love eclectic spaces, others prefer modern minimalism or classic tradition—we can do it all.

We design with the existing architecture in mind, ensuring interiors and exteriors feel cohesive. Modern furniture in historic homes works when done thoughtfully, like in our Concord project, but the goal is always to embrace, not erase. Every home has quirks worth preserving, from 200-year-old Colonials to Boston brownstones and new builds. The best design balances old and new while respecting what came before.

In this historic Brookline home, personal art, cool family heirlooms, and a collection of textiles take center stage. As a textile artist herself, the client’s love of pattern shines through in layered prints, window treatments, and pillows—creating a space that is both well-designed and deeply personal. More of this Brookline home can be seen here.

Easier to Live In

Good design isn’t just about how a space looks—it’s about how it works. A home should function seamlessly for daily life. That means:

• Smart kitchen layouts
• Durable materials
• Practical furniture choices

For families with kids and pets, performance fabrics, stain-resistant surfaces, and strategic storage keep things looking great without added stress. Kitchens designed for daily use need custom millwork, efficient layouts, and quality finishes to stand the test of time. Beauty and practicality should always work together.

The Concord kitchen below balances practicality and style—black and white palette, stone counters, and a layout that works. Leather counter stools are wipeable, luxury pieces that still look brand new, while dark floors effortlessly hide dog hair and dirt. Durable design for the busiest space in the home.

Make it Make Sense

A renovation should make sense—both for the homeowner and the home itself. We aim to preserve what’s worth saving while introducing updates that feel natural. That means:

• Respecting the vernacular of the home
• Restoring original details when possible
• Giving new life to old elements

Sustainability is always a factor—sometimes that means repurposing millwork, refinishing floors, or choosing timeless materials over trends.

Better Than We Found It

As we continue to grow and evolve as a studio, our commitment remains unchanged. We strive to leave things better than we found them. This philosophy has guided our work through countless successful projects. It will continue to shape every space we touch.

We love what we do and are always looking for new projects—whether in Boston, New England, or beyond. As an Arch Digest Pro interior designer, we bring a hands-on, thoughtful approach to every home. Check out our AD profile to see more of our work.
