Hi Everyone! Jess D back today with the final space in our Urban Farmhouse Reveal. It's been so fun sharing this project with you all. We didn't do any sort of design board for this space as my clients bought most of the furniture and then passed the selections by me. But when I got to LA they were generally unhappy with the layout and the way the space felt. I shifted around the seating so it... Read more

Hi all, it's Kate Cabiltes!I stumbled across the talented Rosie Case while perusing a fave blog Sketch42 recently. The home tour of this native east coast editor who moved to Texas and decorated her entire home is jaw droppingly good.

Hi, Kate Cabiltes here!As you likely already know, designer Erin Fetherston has impeccable taste as is evidenced by her home that has gone viral after being posted here, here and here (among others) as of late.

My feelings about Steven Gambrel's work can be best compared to that of an unrequited high school crush. Every time I see a S. R. Gambrel interior I swoon and am left speechless; his bold and confident work never disappoints!Gambrel is classic yet modern, familiar yet unexpected, but always with a nod to the vernacular. No matter if it's an urban penthouse, a country estate or a beach retreat,... Read more
Hi Everyone. Jess Davis here. Last week was crazy so I didn't get a chance to show you a new space in our Urban Farmhouse project. Thus far you've seen the kitchen, living / dining, master bedroom, master bath, and play room. Next up is my client's son's room. I love that this room is playful yet masculine and not too baby-ish. It's a nursery but it will grow with him to be his big-boy room. Here... Read more
