This room used to feel like it belonged anywhere.
Now it feels like it could only exist here.

That’s the difference considered design makes.

Tonight’s Met Gala theme: Couture meets coffee table.

Serving architectural lines, bold statements, and a chandelier that understood the assignment. If maximalism had a seating chart, this room would be front row. ✨🖤

This little room in our Vermont cabin didn’t look like much when we first bought the house.

We turned it into a playful bunk room at Pine & Plaid - layering striped wallpaper, vintage details, and classic bunks to create a cozy space our kids and visiting families.

The wallpaper really set the tone for the room. We used a striped pattern from , and found it thanks to a great sourcing recommendation from .

The goal was simple: make a small room feel memorable and fun.

Pine & Plaid was just featured on , and you can see the full tour through the link in ’s bio.

Design takeaway: small rooms are a great place to take a little risk with pattern.

Before ➡️ After

Where purpose meets design.

We expanded storage, enhanced workflow, and added thoughtful architectural elements to transform this client’s home office into a space that’s as inspiring as it is functional.

Design that works and feels good — that’s what we’re here for.

As the year comes to a close, we’re reflecting on spaces that brought people together - meals shared, conversations lingered, memories made. Grateful for every table we had a hand in setting this year. 🤍
