Summer Adventures: Design, Discovery & a Dash of Nostalgia

This summer was packed—with travel, design inspiration, and some unexpected moments that reminded me why I love what I do. First stop: New York City for the Design Leadership Network Forum, where the big themes were… well, let’s just say the economy isn’t exactly doing us favors. But the real takeaway? The importance of showing... Read more

Trend Alert: Basketweave

Basketweave is back — and it’s showing up everywhere. This classic motif is popping up in all the right places: stone tile, woven cane, leather, lighting, you name it. It brings texture, structure, and a handcrafted vibe that works across styles, from tailored and minimal to warm and layered. Whether it’s a tiled floor with... Read more

Moodboard Monday: Counter Culture

Team Atelier Davis is back with another moodboard from our Brookhaven, Georgia project. And this time, we’re heading into the kitchen! In this room we’ve balanced clean lines with soft finishes for a look that feels modern, grounded, and livable. A glossy chrome faucet and black range keep things crisp and functional, while the fennel-toned... Read more

Moodboard Monday: Welcome Home

We’re back with another moodboard from our Brookhaven, Georgia project — this time, we’re turning our attention to the entryway. You may remember this home from our earlier posts featuring a modern cozy kitchen and serene bathroom retreat. Now we’re showing how the entry ties it all together with a look that’s clean, layered, and... Read more

Moodboard Monday: Mad About Hue

Team Atelier Davis is working on a new project just outside of Boston — a bright, personality-packed living room in Brookline, Massachusetts. We’re creating two fresh schemes that embrace bold color, sculptural forms, and a rich mix of texture and pattern. Each look builds on a few beloved existing pieces while bringing new energy to...

Moodboard Monday: Primary Instincts

This week, we’re revisiting a past project in Buckhead, this time reworking the primary bedroom to build on some existing favorites. While the bones of the space remain the same, we’re exploring two distinct design directions that build on a shared foundation — same rug, same dresser, same beloved swivel chairs and drapery — but...

Moodboard Monday: Study Concepts

Team Atelier Davis is wrapping up our Greenwich Village project with one final space: the study. It’s a room with great bones — an antique writing desk, a beloved rug, and a pair of ottomans we’re recovering to give them a fresh new life. From there, we built two slightly different schemes that each bring... Read more

Moodboard Monday: Tonal Tendencies

Team Atelier Davis is working on a project in Greenwhich Village, and this week we’re sharing our schemes for two of the hardest-working rooms in the house: the bathrooms. We’ve got a pair of concepts each for the guest and primary baths—and while they may share a foundation, the devil (as always) is in the... Read more

Moodboard Monday: Suite Dreams

Team Atelier Davis is wrapping up our Pennsylvania lake house project with one last #MoodboardMonday — and this time, we’re heading to the primary suite. After sharing our concepts for the entry, living/dining area, kitchen, and powder room, we’ve saved this serene retreat for last. As with the rest of the home, our design direction... Read more

Moodboard Monday: Small Room, Big Style

We’re back with the another round of schemes from our Pennsylvania boathouse project! We’ve floated through the entry and made waves in the kitchen and bar — now we’re diving into the powder room. And this time, the contrast between the two schemes is especially striking. The first option leans into a tailored, textural vibe.... Read more

Moodboard Monday: Kitchen Confidential

We’re back at our lake house — this time with two takes on the kitchen and bar. Like the rest of this Pennsylvania getaway, these spaces need to walk the line between relaxed and refined. We kept the layout consistent across both schemes, but used finish and fixture shifts to explore two distinct vibes. Scheme... Read more

Moodboard Monday: The Great Indoors

We’re back at the Pennsylvania lake house this week — this time drilling down into the living and dining areas. With an open-concept layout and a compact footprint, we’re focusing on smart moves that make the space feel generous and grounded. A sectional anchors the living room, with clear sightlines to the dining area just... Read more
