Life doesn't just happen | It's designed

It was everything:
BDDW Tyler Hays showroom at the The San Francisco Fall Show captivated me.
Tyler’s hand-created work melts me every time. If “God is in the details”, you will find her here.

My first experience of Tyler’s artistry at his NY showroom took my breath away. (I don’t say that lightly, I actually had to take deep breaths and thankfully his chairs and sofas were ready to catch me.)

The fabric, the carved wood arms and legs send me into another time. Then add his hand-painted ceramics and leather table top and you will never want to leave.

Don’t miss the new portable turntable, originating as a box for his hand-made jeans. It will make your next picnic dreamy while you look at cloud formations.

I’ve not been the new LA showroom, but the word is it is even more of a delight.

Catch the weekly auction.
auctions.bddw.com,
It will prove dangerous.

You’re welcome.

Black and white, combined with layers of color, textured rugs, upholstery, plants and wood can be a strong foundation in many spaces.

So painting my staircase railing and risers black provided contrast, making the surrounding areas more interesting and highlighting the railing circa 1972.

Stair risers, (the vertical part of the stairs), are usually not complicated to change. Ten years ago I had floral wallpaper on mine, then I painted them black, and then green, and then I returned to black to update with the railings!

Remember “Girls (and everyone) Just Wanna Have Fun”? Get playful, turn up the volume, and dance around your home!

Transformative remodels fuel our fire.

There’s a reason I continue to return to handmade tile in bathroom remodels: the feel and energy of these materials is deeply moving to me as they are made from the resources of our earth and formed with the hands of artisans around the world.

In this custom powder room, we layered the Zelige tiles with a concrete sink, warm wood ceiling details, encaustic concrete floor tiles, deep green paint and sculptural lighting made of crystal to create a space that feels grounded, calm and deeply personal.

1.) One detail to pay close attention to during installation is mixing and balancing the tiles carefully throughout the space rather than allowing similar tones or textures to cluster too heavily in one area.

2) Save broken or imperfect pieces to use for cuts, edges and less visible transitions while preserving the most beautiful full tiles where the eye naturally lands.

That subtle variation is what gives handmade tile its warmth, richness and lived-in character.

3) Handmade tiles like these are not ideal for floors because the edges as they can be sharp! We love to use them for walls and kitchen splashes.

4) Always be sure to hire experienced tile installers as the way they are prepped, set and sealed is critical and varies greatly depending on the natural material you have selected .

For me, the most successful remodels are never just about how a space looks –they’re about how it feels for our clients to live in every day.

A door marks a threshold and offers an opportunity for you to shift from one state of being to another.

How do you want to walk through yours?

Every time you pass through a threshold you get to choose your own adventure.
