Most the time, I don't have the opportunity to fully decorate a client's home. As a 're-stylist', it is my job to create a cohesive, stylish and comfortable living space using what the client already owns and (hopefully) adding a much needed piece of furniture or accessory. Sometimes I forget to photo document the transformation, although ... read more

I love seeing how collections are displayed, color palettes integrated and storage issues solved. This particular friend moved from a dark 1 bedroom apartment in Brooklyn to bright highrise studio in lower ... read more
If you live in a home that boast an outdated vintage kitchen that has metal cabinets, you can probably appreciate my passion for mighties. They are tiny little magnets from Three by Three that are absurdly strong. I've long since run out of wall space, yet keep receiving gifts of artwork.

My friend gave me this charming print last year for my birthday and I felt having it framed would detract from it's homespun sweetness, however I did want to honor it.
