Happy Mother’s Day from Ardenwood Farm! Even in a peaceful place there’s never a dull moment with a toddler 🙃 And capturing a good family photo is like spotting a unicorn 🦄 But alas, I do love it. 🤎

Thank you to this blast from the past client who reached out this morning to let me know my email had been hacked. 🙃 If you get a weird email from me please delete!

I am soooo excited to have an original work from @spirit_is_a_bone_art who also happens to be the mother of my dear friend @fifteenshadesofgreen . This is the first of her work I’ve purchased but it won’t be the last!

I love working on smaller homes. This may be a small space but there was big impact. And this family understands not having more than you need so, believe it or not, some of these drawers and cabinets are nearly empty! Swipe to see the before 👉🏻

It’s been almost two years since I’ve taken three days off in a row and about a year and a half since getting together with family. Thank you, Moderna and Pfizer! We celebrated by doing some wine tasting in Napa which I had yet to experience. 🍷 Now I don’t need to drink for another year. 🤪

Finally got to go see our Walnut Creek project which still needs a few finishing touches but looks incredible regardless! 🙌🏻

This photo of ours has been saved on average 50 times a day, everyday, for the past year on @houzz which really goes to show that simplicity is appealing. And that a good use of space can matter more than square footage. 📐

I have been on a laundry room kick over the past year. I think because everybody’s been home doing their own laundry, I have been designing more of them. But I’m having so much fun doing so! I think laundry rooms are the new powder room. #hearditherefirst 🧺

Paint is finally happening tomorrow in our Florida project! Check out these gorgeous details: curved shower threshold, wall paneling and cabinetry. And a beautiful tub will be under that window 🛁 🙌🏻

Whenever I can, I encourage people to let their every day objects serve as the decorative objects in their home. It offers an ease to every day life and down home sensibility. One of the ways that I do this in my own home is by hanging our pots and pans. Like a lot of houses in Mill Valley, storage is limited. Apparently they just had less stuff back in the 1930s when our house was built. I actually love that the house encourages us to have less and use less. But it means that we have to be very smart about how we use our space. By hanging the pots and pans, it frees up a lot of cabinet storage, is easy to access and, with this gorgeous pot rack with leather bands and brass hooks from @lostineathome , it looks beautiful too.

If you swipe you will see one of my favorite hidden gems...our steam oven! It’s been such a high functioning use of the side of a full height cabinet that I am starting to incorporate it into my clients kitchens as well. And yes, we repainted and are very happy with the new color :)

We had the remarkable privilege to meet the person

We had the remarkable privilege to meet the person who owned our house from 1940 - 2004. He is an remarkably versatile artist and he drew this sketch of the old mill in Mill Valley where we live. We have a few of his pieces and treasure them all. But what we treasure the most is his friendship. Last year he turned 100...an incredible milestone, during an incredible year for an incredible man.

I know we finished our remodel in November but I ultimately felt like I played it too safe with our kitchen color so this week it’s getting repainted! It is so unlike me to do some thing like this but here we are! 🤗 My husband has proclaimed that I am not allowed to do anything else to the house that requires us to move out for at least another year. 😬 Thank god we don’t need to move out for wallpaper ;)

Today’s install was small but packed a punch. You all are going to be drooling over this one once we get around photographing it! PS: I could spend all day in this corner. #winecountry
