After many years decorating, I realize the enormous effort it takes to pull it all together and place those finishing touches on a project. Simply chosing which fabrics to pull, let alone deciding on the shape of a sofa, or wall color, may seem like small decisions to many. As a designer, these are the final little details which I take the time to hone in on, separating a house from a home. Before getting down to those details, first you'll need to decide where to start! No need to feel overwhelmed, you can always find a starting point in something. Perhaps it's the tone of an old wooden frame, or a piece of crystal orb. Whatever that thing may be, always run with it. Every awe inspiring ...

With new trends unfolding in the design industry daily, there's never a shortage of inspiration... and what's the use in fighting temptation? My advice is to listen to your heart when it tells you it's time for a re-design. Just a couple weeks ago I decided that my workspace needed a rehaul, and since then I have not looked back (aside from this blog post)! Now i'm inviting YOU behind the scenes of my work station rejuvenation.My previous space, while bright, beautiful and airy, lacked functionality and began to feel dated. I wanted to create a space where my staff would feel ...

Last time on the Loft we focused in on the organic beauty of the English landscapes. The good news is whether you're in England, or your own small back yard, it doesn't take much to turn just a patch of grass into an outdoor oasis. Outdoor living is meant to be relaxing and chill, so this summer we're taking it back to a simpler time. While there are an array of high quality fabrics and furniture available, it only takes a few pieces to achieve the classic summer vibe that we so adore. Today i'm sharing some of my favorite outdoor inspirations, splendid enough to take me back to Europe, yet simple enough to achieve right at home!Comfort and style go hand in hand with this outdoor patio ...
