Storytime: Lauren and I first met in 2013, when she was about to have her first baby and posted an ad on Craigslist looking for someone to help with her interior design drafting. I was fairly new to NYC and perhaps a *little* naive (see: meeting strangers from Craigslist ads, which led to a few other good story times, if you want to hear them!). But that meeting at the OG Van Leeuwen’s in Cobble Hill turned into an incredible 13-year working relationship.

Since then, we’ve collaborated on countless residential projects under both Lauren Stern Design and Studio Sio. If you’ve worked with one of us, chances are you’ve worked with both. For larger hospitality projects that gets complicated, so we’ve made it official: one team, and a bit of a super band.

More soon!

To see how a light bright 2020s kitchen can look expensive on a budget - the full episode of My House My Castle is now up on the ThreeNow ThreeNow app! Come back and comment below what you thought!

This kitchen was such a great example of being clever with where you spend your money. The goal was to put the budget into the high-touch points, like the tapware, while saving elsewhere. Dr Matt (who is secretly a close friend!) was such a great part of this renovation and I loved seeing his vision come together in the finished space!

Our little DIY Ikea hack (literally)! Have you ever hacked a piece of kitset furniture? I like to think of Kallax, and a lot of their other pieces, like they are a building material that can be used to create your dream furniture pieces. Turning the every day into interior design!

We were sent these cutie pie little Kallax miniatures made by from , and decided to do what we do with the real thing - add a little bit of paint and wallpaper to make them more Studio Sio.

Shout out to Sophie for putting it together - sound off in the comments if you’d like more miniature or DIY content?

We sat down with the woman behind some of the most beautiful handmade rugs we've seen, and her story is the whole reason we wanted to share it.

We talk about her process - including how working with an interior designer shapes the final design.

Comment 'interview' and we'll DM you the link!

The Greenhouse room at the Lobby Bar at Hotel Chelsea, a space that layers lattice, patterned tiles and drapery to create a warm, intimate atmosphere.

Each element adds another layer of interior design texture and pattern, giving the bar a sense of depth and character while nodding to the rich history of the hotel.

The collections of El Quijote: all saved from the original versions of the space, bringing together layers of ornamentation and collected pieces to create a space full of unique character.

It’s the accumulation of details that gives the room its sense of history, with each element adding to the story rather than standing alone.

A moment for the lighting in the Bard Room at Hotel Chelsea, from the chandeliers overhead to the intricate wall sconces framing the bar.

Each fixture brings its own character to the room, adding a softer layer of atmosphere and drawing the eye to the details that make the space feel so considered.

Just returned home from eight days in NYC to kick start a new project, with a little bit of downtime in between!

Highlights included the Tarot exhibition at the Morgan, a million showrooms (including getting to finally see the amazing WRETCHED FLOWERS new spot - so worth a visit!), catching up with family and friends, hunting through antique and salvage yards in the pits of New Jersey, drinks at the very cool Obvio, and the new Printemps New York department store - holyyy, what a wonderland of tile and wallpaper and stone, an interiors wonderland. Working on some posts with guides on my favorite showrooms, gift shopping, my favourite places to see old New York - let me know if you have any other requests!
