Scenes from our recent install in Pennsylvania, a mountain home with a playful update that still feels sophisticated and fun.

We leaned into color, pattern, and a little bit of whimsy, but kept it all in check so it doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Absolutely loved working on this one (and somehow they’re not sick of us yet . . . already onto another project together). Grateful for the trust and always so thrilled to keep going.

I always love this stage, when the layers start to go in and everything begins to come together.

In this room, it’s the mix that makes it: the small-scale wallpaper, the soft yellow, plaid headboard, the patterned rug, and a light that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Excited to share the end result.

Excited to share that one of our favorite bathrooms received a RED Award.

I’ve loved this space from the very beginning, the wallpaper was chosen before the project even really got underway, and it remained. Always a good sign. And yes, they’re cannabis leaves.

Thank you to the editors and judges, such an honor to have our work recognized. And as always, to my team, who make it all happen.

A little sneak peek of our Pennsylvania project.

The good parts are starting to peek through, which is when it gets fun.

More to come soon.

Will travel for work.

Happily.

Something I’ve learned about myself: cheering people on is my love language.

Truly. And so is listening to them. That realization turned into something I didn’t expect: a Substack series called Five (or More) Things, where I interview creatives I genuinely admire: designers, artists, dreamers — people I’ve had the joy of knowing in person.

Their answers never disappoint.

Come read.

A very custom project we loved from start to finish. During the furniture presentation the client asked for two final tweaks: a new dining chair fabric and a more playful bed fabric.

The bed might be one of my favorites we’ve done.

There’s a whole world of work happening behind the scenes, work I love, work that challenges me, work that feels incredibly rewarding. This little square just happens to get the highlight reel and I do love sharing it.

But if I’m honest, the news cycle has taken more than I’d like to admit: focus, energy, peace. I don’t really know how anyone fully turns away but I do know I need pockets of something else.

So in between selections and drawings and meetings and deadlines, I’m leaning into the analog: board games, needlepoint canvases, tearing pages out of magazines, books (always books), actual conversations, being out in the world a bit more.

Choosing to engage with the world in a way that feels more human even if it’s a little less efficient. It feels even more important now.

Round Top looks so very different these days and I’ll admit, I’ve had my moments about it. It’s grown, it’s busier, it’s… a whole thing. I’ve found myself trying (sometimes harder than I’d like to admit) to adjust my expectations and meet it where it is now.

But what I keep coming back to, is at its core, it hasn’t actually changed.

It’s still about the people. The vendors who know their pieces inside and out, who remember you from last season or last year. That part: the connection, the conversations, the shared appreciation for objects with a past, that’s still very much intact.

I’ve always loved that excitement of discovery. Walking into a tent not knowing what I’ll find, meeting someone new, hearing the story behind a piece, and more than occasionally leaving with something I didn’t know I needed but now can’t imagine a project or myself without.

So yes, Round Top is evolving. We all are. And maybe the shift is less about holding onto what it was and more about recognizing what’s still there especially if you’re willing to slow down enough to see it.

And for me, that part? The human part, the treasure-hunting part, the part that still surprises me every single time, that hasn’t gone anywhere.

A small painting I found at the Decorative Fair in London that I absolutely love. The colors, the skirt, the quiet simplicity of the scene.

Paired here with our new wallpaper pattern. I love how happy they make each other.

The studio is full of inspiration right now: magazines torn apart, palettes evolving, references pinned everywhere, books open.

We’re in the early phases of a few projects, which is always my favorite moment . . . when ideas start to take shape and you can begin to see where things might go.

Lots of good things coming. ❤️♥️
