Oct 30 A Favorite Source for Design Inspiration.

Jess

This place! I return here again and again for design inspiration. I love to see their new inventory and the beautiful colors they paint the walls. It's ever-changing! If you don't know what the apartment is, it's a genius idea by a couple in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Jess

I love card readings. They are fun and insightful. They also help me to slow down and get present. It feels good to take a moment in the mornings and reflect on whats going on in my world.

Jess

Decor

I'm totally obsessed with this home. I love the colors, there is a lot of depth and contrast but it doesn't feel overly moody.

Apr 19 Colorful Wall Art that's Fast, Fun & Affordable (also some old photos of my apartment!)

Jess

Decor

This is something I've been doing in my apartment for years. We have concrete walls which makes it challenging to hang large pieces of art securely. So I figured, why not just paint directly on the walls?

Apr 17 Design Shop Favorites: The Citizenry

Jess

Boutiquey online design shops are pretty hit or miss. It can be hard to find a good one that is consistently well curated. I've been following The Citizenry for a while and am really impressed with this company. They sell hand-made products sourced from around the world made by real artisans.

Apr 12 Changing up the way I Create Design Concept Boards

Jess

When I start a new project it's always so much fun sourcing stuff and putting together a concept. I can see it all come together in my head and it's exciting! One of the more difficult parts of this process is presenting the concept and furniture in a way that will let the client "see" things as I imagine them...

Fashion

I posted about HOH back in August when I first discovered the unique and playful fashion brand. I love following them on Pinterest and Insta, every time they release a new collection it's a whole new level. Below are some of my favorite pieces from their Spring/Summer 2016 collection.

Jess

Decor

Several years ago my friend Shoshana took me on a tour of her interior designer friend's gorgeous flat. It was colorful and friendly and the majority of the art and fabrics used was african mud cloth which was totally new to me. I fell in love.

So much has changed since the first post I wrote about this back in December! To start, I sold that desk like the next week. The green color wasn't bright enough, too muddy which didn't feel good.

Mar 30 Why I Love the "Tub in Shower" Trend

Jess

Decor

I've been in love this idea of "a tub in the shower" for a while. I first did it for a prospective client years ago when I got the chance to come up with some unconventional layouts (I dug up those plans from 2009, see below) and then a few years later I read an article on the 407 East 75th Street Carriage House in NYC and I finally got to see "a tub in the shower" in real life.

I'm on week two of my sugar detox and things got real this weekend. I am tired, sore, foggy, and craving sugar badly. I am determined to stick it out and I think today will be the worst of it. Then things will start to get really really good. I'm excited to learn how I feel without the sugar!

Mar 14 Spring Cleaning: Organizing with Armoires & baskets

Jess

This post combines two of my favorite things: vintage furniture & organization. I love using unique baskets and bins to organize stuff. While large baskets look good right on the floor, you need some kind of shelving to store smaller baskets and bins.

My Chairish obsession is quickly overtaking my Pinterest obsession. I can't get enough. It's a little different/scary because with Chairish I'm not just collecting beautiful images of furniture and accessories... I'm buying them too... but it's so much fun!
