Some projects stay with you long after they’re finished.
This living room belongs to a dear friend whose friendship goes all the way back to junior high. We attended different schools, but she welcomed me into her circle of friends, and many of those friendships have lasted a lifetime.
When she asked me to help redesign a few rooms in her home, it felt like a full-circle moment. Together, we incorporated treasured antiques that belonged to her mother and grandmother and created a soft color-drenched look using Thibaut wallpaper and fabric. The result feels layered, collected, and deeply personal—exactly as a home should.
As much as I love the design itself, what makes this project special to me are the memories attached to it. The furniture, the stories, the history, and the friendships that have endured through the years, even when life takes us in different directions.
Today, many of those same friends will gather again as we celebrate the life of someone we loved. It’s a bittersweet reminder that life is precious, friendships are a gift, and the people we share our lives with matter far more than any room we could ever design.
Homes hold our memories. And sometimes, the most beautiful spaces are the ones filled with the people and stories that shaped us.
