What do all of these rooms have in common? They all were designed for families with young children. When prospective clients reach out to me they often have a concern about significantly investing in their home when their kids are going to “des
It may be spring but we still need to conjure spring temps with this bright powder room. Here in Ridgewood we’re used to renovating old homes with odd angles. This large scale floral wallpaper helps mask those angles. An old school tile on the
I am thrilled to once again be a participating designer in @housingworks Design on a Dime 20th Anniversary benefit! I had such a great experience last year, meeting so many wonderful designers and contributing to this special cause. This year my vign

A refresh not a full gut was all that was needed to make this kitchen brighter and more welcoming. We painted the cabinets, changed the counter top, backsplash, faucet and hardware. And can’t forget the fabric shade with the cutest citrus print
I didn’t make it to KBIS this year sadly. But remembering this bath vignette I designed for @pfisterfaucets last year. I miss her.
It’s only Tuesday but I’m ready for a lie down. 😅 📷 @jacobsnavely 🌸 @lucybamman
Could not be happier that it’s Friday, how about you? Here’s a pretty little detail to end the week. 📷 @kirstenrfrancis
I’ve been slowly building my following over here and grateful for every milestone, no matter how small. I’m also so grateful for all of you! When I started this business, I don’t think I could have imagined how it would go. There ha
Paisley and stripes, my kind of combo! This bias stripe border was a last minute addition and a surprise for the client. I’m so glad we did it and I’m so glad I felt the trust from the client to do so. Details like this make your home spe
It’s sunny but freezing 🥶 today in NJ. The kids are off from school but I need to lock in, as they say. But first, did you watch the SNL special or White Lotus? I loved Adam Sandler’s anniversary song and the return of coffee talk. It&rs
Maya and I are headed to Boston later today to visit colleges. Colleges!! I know everyone says this but time flies. Enjoy them when they’re little even though it’s hard and exhausting. She used to never want to leave my side and now I thi
It’s always important to consider soft furnishings at the same time as hard finishes. This bedroom belongs to the bathroom I posted last. We wanted to install an all over floral pattern in the bedroom so kept the bathroom finishes textural and
Remove the blah! Your home should bring you joy and comfort. Especially during these extremely crazy times. 📷 @kirstenrfrancis
How was your weekend? Mine was nice and relaxing except for seeing an unenjoyable 3 hour movie, time which I can never get back. Trying to forget it with this forever favorite bedroom with a forever favorite wallpaper from @sanderson1860. As featured
Congratulations on making it through January and happy Saturday! It’s always Saturday in Turks. We traveled down this past week to check out an exciting new project. It’s going to be a fun one!
Maybe my favorite powder room yet! The original room was a bit cramped, and a vestibule between it, the foyer, the mudroom (former sun room), and kitchen was a major bottle neck. We pushed out the wall and the door opening to the mudroom to create a
Home from Paris and London and back to real life! Thank you to my hubby for holding down the fort (altho he’s an everyday holder downer of the fort). Wouldn’t mind the reality of a messy house if I had all these mudroom lockers! 📷 @kirst
My favorite moments from a quick two days in London with @designdestinationlondon. I would source everything from here if I could! Such an inspiring week but happy to be headed home to my fam and my studio. Till the next time London!
