I genuinely think about going for a monochromatic interior. It seems so calming and soothing without being stark or sterile. After seeing this home, it only reinforced my obsession with white floors and a minimal color-palette. This home has a…
You can pick your jaw up off the floor now… This home was once a church and was converted into a private residence. With original stained glass windows of biblical figures, this space is enormous and so unique. My first…
That brass fireplace seems to be a common characteristic in these Swedish homes and I’m utterly jealous. I love the brightness of this apartment and while the style is a bit too feminine for my taste, I enjoy the simplicity…
We’re officially into August, the dog days of summer have arrived and I simply want to run away to a cabin and savor every warm moment. Two years ago we had gone glamping and the simple tasks of starting a…
I’m jumping back into things this morning and starting off the week with this space by Nick Olsen. It’s all sorts of good! The palette: black, ivory and chocolate brown is peppered with pops of persimmon and deep greens. Two…
I don’t know about you, but there’s just something about white floors that gets me every time! A few years back I almost took to my hardwood floors with a paint roller but decided against it. In retrospect, I wish…
I’ve been finding some great interior inspiration lately! This whole space is so unlike what I would have in my own home and I can’t seem to get enough of it! The wood tones, the minimal decor and the green…
I probably don’t even need to write anything after these amazing photos- they take the cake. But what kind of friend would I be? I’m not sure what got me first- the herringbone, wood floors? Or perhaps it was that…
This amazing space is making me rethink my entire home. I can’t get over the powder blue and salmon color combo. It’s what dreams are made of! This gorgeous space is Jessica Alba’s guest house. Yes, GUEST house. And, if…
Because I am so over winter- I’m tired of talking about winter, of feeling cold everyday and because I miss the sun and warmth. So, today’s post is coming from a beautiful, sunny home on the island of Menorca, Spain.…
After a few of you asked about the kitchen, I knew it was time to share a progress update with you all! I’m not close to done, but we’ve definitely tackled the bigger part of the project: painting the kitchen…
Sorry for the radio silence, friends! I’ve been working on so many good things that I can’t wait to share with all of you. Not to mention, I’ve been trying to soak up all the great info from ALT…
Earlier this year, Pantone announced it’s color of the year. It just so happens to be a delicious sauce for your chicken and veal. I would lick this right off my plate… but I’m still not sure how I feel…
I’ve been hinting for a while about some exciting projects I’ve been working on and today, I get to share one of them with you! My home tour with one of my favorite sites, Apartment Therapy, is making it’s debut.…
Good Morning! I’m kicking off this week with a moodboard for the NoMad Luxuries office. If you remember this initial moodboard a while back, I was inspired by Emily Henderson’s space. Since the office was put on the back burner…
In the thick of planning a trip for a client to Italy, I always get so excited to experience some of my favorite destinations, all over again, through their eyes. It also happens to be one of my favorite destinations for a solo trip; a surrender to the senses, to la bellezza in all its forms. The Italians just do it right. Mentally revisiting some of my favorite spots in this itinerary, including an idyllic stay in Porto Santo Stefano.
One of the more relaxing weekends I’ve had in a long time. A reminder that they shouldn’t be so sporadic and few in between. As I slowly ease into the new year, and in an effort to return to the joy of writing, there’s a new post on welcoming 2024 - how I’m planning on filling my cup this month, what I’m looking forward to and more simply put, a monthly check-in with myself and with all of you. x
I’ve been holding on to our wedding photos like a secret note in my pocket I just wasn’t ready to share quite yet. I wanted to hold on to the feeling a bit longer, before the moment felt fleeting.
After endless months of planning, weekly budgeting and saving, all the stress, our wedding day was a beautiful coming together of cultures, traditions and worlds. We were showered with love from near and far and we never lost sight of what this day was truly about – celebrating our unexpected love story. A story we will continue to celebrate.
Sharing with you today a small and intimate look at one of the happiest moments of our life together. I really do feel so very lucky to call this man my husband.
Thank you to @nicolettazarifi for capturing our special day on film and to @feelyourfilms for bringing them to life in a video we’ll cherish forever.

I spent the last week back in Chicago after two long years and while I crammed in way too much in 10 short days, I left feeling recharged and at peace...
I got to spend time with my mom and stepdad, even though it`s always too short and too fast; rented my apartment to a lovely couple; saw friends I haven`t seen in years and hit up most of my favorite spots including eating an excessive amount of Chipotle. Chicago weather behaved for us and even put on a fabulous Fall show, my favorite time of year.
And while I know the reasons why I chose to leave Chicago, it doesn`t mean that it`s not still a very important part of my life and of who I am. It seems, sometimes you need to leave home to truly find yourself. I was able to share all these amazing moments, in my (other) city, in our other home, with my husband, family and friends. I know how blessed I am and I never take this life I`ve built for granted.
A small ode to my other city, sweet home Chicago!

Proud to have been able to pen this piece for @hello_going as @airserbia rolls out their first direct flights between Serbia`s capital city of Belgrade and the "Windy City" - and my hometown of Chicago -after a 30-year hiatus.
While this article is meant to act as a comprehensive guide to flying Air Serbia; it is also a nod to Air Serbia’s long history and authentic culture and cuisine making it an affordable and competitive option when looking to hop the pond.
Finally got around to writing the first - of many - posts on Morocco while taking gardening tips from the beautiful Le Jardin Secret - a lush, green oasis in the heart of the medina in Marrakech. #mangogirls
