Hello dear friends - I see a rise of grey returning to the world of interiors, do you? I must admit that it comes as a bit of a shock since grey was once a huge trend and then was largely overtaken by the beige and “greige” trend (grayish beige tones) over the past few years.
I remember a time when everything coming out of Scandinavian design was black, white and grey or bright primary colors - think pure red, green, blue, yellow. Lots of floral, lots of stripes. Then, the vibe changed and we saw loads of beige and cream. I felt like it was somehow wrong to use white on the walls over the past ..read more

Hey friends! I want to share a little something close to my heart. My little kitchen is my happy place, whether I'm savoring a morning cappuccino in the sun or whipping up a yummy cake batter while my son draws at our tiny vintage table. It’s a tight squeeze for us, but we love gathering around our cozy kitchen table for most of our meals. Sure, we have a spacious dining room, but we always end up in our little kitchen—it just feels right, even if it’s a bit cramped. In fact, whenever I entertain, my guests also always end up in the kitchen - the smallest room in our home. What is it about a k ..read more

Hey everyone! I have some super exciting news to share—I’m launching my first rug collection with Tisca, and it’s all set to debut around early 2025. I spent time in Romania this Spring where I teamed up with their talented textile engineer, Teodora, and their Romanian weavers along with meetings with Andreas Honer and Ines Riener. Watching them all work together as they guided me in this great education was such an eye-opener and helped me to take a deep dive into the art of rug making so that I can design an authentic, sustainable and beautiful collection from me to you.
Returning to the Ti ..read more

In my most recent online course, The Clarity Course, we explored several diverse practices and thought processes that can aid with clarity. There are certainly a multitude of approaches, and students discovered specific methods that resonated with them, proving to be exceptionally valuable. Among these, there's one technique that has profoundly struck a chord with me since I was around 10-years-old, enabling me to traverse even the most enigmatic of paths throughout my life — a practice known as art journaling.

I just spent some time in Mallorca at a heritage textiles and fiber arts event called XTANT so the word HERITAGE was a big topic there. What does it mean really? Heritage textiles refer to textiles that are deeply rooted in the cultural and historical traditions of a particular region or community. They are often associated with traditional craftsmanship, techniques, and designs that have been passed down through generations. Heritage textiles can include a wide range of fabrics and materials such as handwoven textiles, embroideries, tapestries, and garments. These textiles are typically produ ..read more
