Tariff talk is exhausting. With imports from Asia getting more expensive and shipping no longer cheap, more people may start avoiding fast fashion—and it’s about time; I’ve been doing that for years (long live Poshmark and The Real Real). It’s a good time to turn toward secondhand everything beyond clothing, including home decor and furniture. We’re not the first to catch on to secondhand goods—just pointing out the growth!

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.

Navy is becoming a go-to choice in media room design for its deep and timeless appeal – especially in New England. This versatile color blends with both historic architecture and modern design, creating dramatic yet cohesive spaces – a quintessential coastal and classic hue. From a renovated Brookline home to a transformed Hingham basement to a Concord estate, see how navy lends depth, warmth, and sophistication.

Interior design inspiration isn’t just about trends—it’s about experiences, stories, and connections. For me, the creative process draws from the richness of my travels, the quiet moments in museums, and the treasures unearthed in vintage shops. Living in New England, I’m surrounded by a wellspring of history and natural beauty that shapes my work. These moments become the foundation of our designs.

Our design studio does so much more than manage construction projects — we love decorating. From space planning for furniture to sourcing real-world items that make your home functional and beautiful, our approach to interior decorating is deeply personal. Decorating isn’t just about creating a Pinterest-worthy space; it’s about designing for you.

If you’re a brownstone lover, you know the charm: intricate plaster moldings, original details, and vintage fireplaces. In this South End project, we celebrated a historic brownstone renovation while designing a layout for modern living. With en-suite bedrooms, a luxurious primary suite, and a cozy guest suite, this home blends history and function. As a Boston interior designer, we honored the past while creating a fresh, livable space.

Renovating historic homes in New England is both a challenge and an art form. It requires a thoughtful balance between preserving the charm of the past and incorporating the necessities of modern living. From colonial-era farmhouses to Victorian brownstones and Arts and Crafts gems, these homes hold stories in their walls. Whether it’s a plaster medallion or an original marble fireplace, each speaks to the craft of a bygone era.
