The Juggle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last night I was trying to think about what to write about this week. It was the end of the day and my mind was swirling with a mixture of fabrics swatches, store merchandising, family stuff, design ideas, along with what to make for dinner the next day and I decided maybe that’s what I’ll write about this week -the mental juggle. I find that the most challenging part of my job for me personally is switching between designing and being creative on the one hand and then the realities of running a
The Emmy’s (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have had a few days to process the craziness that was the Emmy’s last weekend.

I was struck by a few things that day and wrote a note to myself to write about stores and their owners for substack. There are two shops I love on Via di Monserrato, Che
Hotel Spying (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week I was staying at a well known hotel in Italy, one where people love to take a photo of an infamous pool they might have seen while scrolling late at night, with its impossibly picturesque views, manicured trees and eyeball friendly oval shaped pool. Vacation style, (or lack thereof) is on display front and center here, and I had so much to take in. I have seen some bizarre things on this trip that have made me chuckle, so I thought a little spying hotel diary could be a light read for
