Room & Board recently featured our work on their blog, linked here; we’re super happy with the write-up and the recognition. Their products blend quality craftsmanship with timeless design, making them a natural fit for our projects. Based in Minnesota, they source from skilled artisans across the country—including some right here in New England.

Like a true New Englander, I’ve spent plenty of time in ski towns from New Hampshire to Vermont—and even a few in Massachusetts. I expected Quebec to feel different, but this Mont Tremblant ski trip surprised me with its quality and ease. Just a bit farther than Stowe, my usual stomping grounds, yet a completely different experience.

Visit Montreal in the winter, and expect freezing temperatures with a dose of hockey and history. We’re talking 1°F or way below-zero Celsius. Bring fur, thick socks, plentry of outerwear, and waterproof everything. I personally owe my survival to my leather, sherpa-lined L.L. Bean tall boots—stylish and, frankly, non-negotiable. We arrived via train after a record-breaking 30-inch snowfall, a winter wonderland—cute but cold.

We’ve designed countless kitchens—some modern, some traditional—all beautiful in their own way. After years of experience, we’ve rounded up the five features that best suit a classic New England kitchen. These details work well in at coastal properties, a farmhouse, or any home with historic or traditional architecture. These ideas will keep it both livable and aligned with the character of the Northeast.

I finally pulled together a much-needed FAQ page for my website. Sorting through the best questions took time, but I wanted to provide clear answers—check them out here. Most FAQs cover how I work, my process, and my credentials. But a few stand out. Today, I’m diving into the three most common interior design questions, answered over the years and collected from web inquiries, friends, colleagues, and clients.

I’m excited to share that I’ve been accepted as an ARCH Digest Pro interior 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.

Let’s dive into this project: a repeat client, a fresh start, and a completely new direction. We previously worked on this client’s historic Boston-area home—full of timeless charm and character, it’s the kind of estate you only find in New England. Now, they are building a modern waterfront retreat in Osterville. Think: Sleek lines, open spaces, and ocean views.

Over the past year, we’ve been elbows-deep in our latest Boston brownstone renovation, restoring it for a young couple with an eye for Scandinavian design and European influences. She’s a Massachusetts native, he trails from London. Each bring their own version of ‘classic’ and ‘modern’ to the design. Read on to learn about the team, see our progress, and explore renderings of the backyard and primary bathroom.
