My friend didn’t need to do much convincing for me to join her for Design Los Angeles. The former La Cienega Design Quarter (LCDQ) has recently rebranded under the leadership of Rebecca Birdwell, supported by a board of notable industry figures. We spent most of our time in West Hollywood, where LA’s interior design showrooms cluster along La Cienega, and seeing them on the West Coast felt essential and energizing.

One of our favorite projects was transforming the parlor level of a stunning historic home. This brownstone interior design project required a careful balance of style and functionality to bring our client’s vision to life. After an extensive renovation, we stepped in to furnish and decorate the main living areas. Our client, overwhelmed with decision fatigue, had a clear aesthetic vision – see how we pulled it all together.

Welcome to the thrilling saga of turning a brand-new, personality-free house into a warm, inviting mountain retreat in Stowe, Vermont. As a Vermont interior designer, we took on a space that started out with all the charm of a blank canvas—literally, it was just walls. But we didn’t let that stop us. With a bit of vision, and a lot of coffee, we set out to create a spaces that scream comfort, perfect for enjoying the beauty of all seasons.
