Exercise Space

Your exercise room can have a decorative element and still be highly functional.

When choosing an area of the home to use as exercise space, so many people go with a basement room.  I much prefer the idea of getting out of the basement and into a more engaging, inviting part of the home.

An exercise space should be an environment with plenty of light, not a sheet rock box.  If you plan for an an exercise room ahead of time, when building or remodeling, you can curate an area that’s derivative of the rest of the home.  Your exercise room can have a decorative element and still be highly functional.

Greenwich Magazine: Fall Nesting

I recently had a feature in the Home Section of this month’s issue of Greenwich Magazine.

I recently had a feature in the Home Section of this month’s issue of Greenwich Magazine.  They asked for my thoughts on how to enhance a space for fall, so I shared my ideas on how to add texture and color just for this time of year.  I find myself looking for warmer palettes as the season shifts and like to change details to reflect this.  Many thanks to Greenwich Magazine and Moffly Media for the feature!

Feature in Greenwich Magazine

I recently sat down with Greenwich Magazine to talk about my new studio and office space.

I was recently interviewed by Greenwich Magazine to talk about my new studio and office space.  It was a great opportunity to express why this building is so special as well as the process of creating my ideal working office and I was so excited to see their feature in this month’s issue.
