    Things I'm Loving

    Design Details I Can’t Stop Noticing

    Things I’m Loving – Vol. 1

    Sometimes the things shaping my design decisions aren’t big trends — they’re small details I keep seeing everywhere and loving more each time.

    Right now I’m drawn to materials that feel grounded, classic, and a little imperfect.

    Distressed Red Brick
    —

    Not overly polished. Not perfectly uniform. The kind of brick that feels like it’s been there for a hundred years. It adds warmth, depth, and instant character to a home.

    Dusty Blue Paint Colors
    —

    Soft blues with a little gray in them are having a moment — and I love them. They feel calm, sophisticated, and timeless without being boring.

    Unlaquered Brass Aging Naturally
    —

    I love watching brass change over time. The slight patina, the warmth it develops — it gives a home a sense of history.

    Walnut Wood Stains
    —

    We are finally moving away from the gray wood era, and I couldn’t be happier. Rich walnut feels warm, timeless, and incredibly grounding.
