Believe it or not, this cool-hued room started with the simple skirted Parson’s chairs. Chairs like these are so versatile that you could really take them in any direction. Fancy or casual, feminine elegance or rustic glam, they mix and match like the best of them. I loved them with this modern but simple table, then looked for a warm buffet to keep the room from being washed out. Of course we needed a chandelier ...
I may prefer a subdued and mostly neutral palette for my own apartment, but I love to dive into color for the right client. Erin has a love for exotic textiles and jewel-tones, and when she hired me to carve out space in their living room for a new arrival, I had a lot of fun.
Erin was worried that her love of different textiles, colors and styles might compete in a small space that had ...
I had so much fun pulling together this non-conventional nursery for my client Laurie and her husband. They are expecting a little boy but wanted to steer clear of powder blue. The room also had to accommodate a double size guest bed (and place to crash after late-night feedings). We went for a sophisticated palette of charcoal, navy, and orange with just a touch of yellow.
In my search for a glider for the room, I ...
Since starting my business, I hear the question, “What is e-decorating?” a lot. E-decorating, also known as E-design or virtual decorating, is a way for clients anywhere in the world to work with a decorator via the internet. It can be a great option for people on a budget who still want the special touch of a decorator, but are willing to do the legwork themselves.
Every designer who offers this service does it a little ...
As part of our site redesign, I’m making some changes to the virtual services we offer. In case you’ve been waiting to sign on for your room design, I wanted to give everyone a head’s up.
After Friday, June 17th, I will no longer be offering the Trimmings package or Express Decorating.
These two packages have been the least popular. However, I will be adding the option to book my design services hourly, even for virtual, long-distance ...
I just wrapped up a dining room for a very dear friend of mine (we’ve never met in person, but we skype almost weekly!). I’m excited to share it with you.
Christina and her hubby Dennis have all their dining room furniture already but they needed some help accessorizing and bringing it to life. They love to use it for entertaining, but don’t use it for everyday dining, so it needed some kind of decoration when ...

Whether you’re looking to overhaul your room or just spruce it up, I have a design package for you. Review the packages and ...
I was organizing my e-decorating files last night and realized that I never shared this living room design on the blog! Laurie’s home is very traditional but she and her husband definitely have modern, clean taste and love modern art and bold color. We kept the wall paint but brought in more furniture to join what she already had (plus some goodies from the basement) and styled the (swoon!) built-in bookshelves with some great accessories.
The ...
This is a design board I prepared for an e-decorating client in Australia this month. Katie had a spare room that she wanted to start using as an office and extra place to watch tv or movies. All the furniture was leaving the room, so except for the armchairs that were coming in from a different part of the house, we were starting from scratch.
One challenge with the room was the size – it was pretty ...
Jadyn’s living room has a common problem – being right off of the entry way, it has two wide doorways in two of it’s walls – one to the entry and one leading through to the dining room. It definitely makes it tricky for furniture arranging, and unfortunately there isn’t really a way to provide enough seating without there being some kind of walkway through the middle of that. However, that doesn’t mean that you ...
