My little Paris apartment in the 14th is out in @archdigest today. The apartment is a reflection of the neighborhood itself, friendly, green, full of community gardens, farmers markets, art studios, and not a tourist anywhere in sight. Friendly, ki

During the last five months, I’ve made a new friend on Instagram. Her name is Nisreen Shehada and she is Palestinian, living until very recently in Gaza. You know, of course, what that has been like. Like so many Palestinians, Nisreen has l

Grasscloth is one of my favorite wall coverings. It’s earthy, natural, textural, warm. I love the way each panel meets the next; perfectly imperfect. It feels right for a lot of different types of houses too. Here it continues the warm hug
While I was in design school I worked in a tile showroom, and tile has always remained one of my favorite building materials. I love the shapes, all the ways you can set it, all the gorgeous glazes, the clay bodies, the little parts and pieces that
The most tricky part of the ‘before’ of this house was the circulation; it was confusing to know where to come in, and how to move through the space. It was a pretty drastic plan change, but I think the best thing we did for the house w
At each end of the big long room we remodeled to house the kitchen, breakfast area, double-sided fireplace, and living room, there is a little nook where the ceiling shape changes. I’ve tried to explain why we did this a number of times with j

This beloved project on my home turf of Sauvie Island, for some dear friends / previous clients is finally out in the world (@archdigest link in bio). I’ve got the before and after plans and a lot of minutiae to bore you with (or at least to lo
I’m still in Paris, and have been home sick with a pretty bad bronchial infection the last three days. Yesterday I called a friend for a doctor recommendation and she said, “oh, for something like that just call SOS Medecins, they make h
