I have always been obsessed with books—they are

I have always been obsessed with books—they are gateways of other places, times, and ways of thinking. I feel so lucky that my childhood was filled with books and trips to the public library. I was that nerd who would read stacks of non-fiction on the most random topics from cover to cover. It’s funny to see a lot of those topics I read about as a kid come back into play in my adult life—furniture making, textiles, European history, etc. All that to say, if you’ve been following my feed for more than two minutes you already know about my love affair with books and bookcases. Yesterday in my stories I shared a color graduated bookcase styling with you all. Today, I wanted to share another favorite trick of mine for styling bookcases—hanging art over the front for some really yummy visual texture 😍 XX

There is just something about the way the sunshine

There is just something about the way the sunshine sparkles in Autumn that is magical. ☀️ And, vintage silver and cascading greenery are never a bad choice. 🌱 Here’s to magical little moments every day ✨ #iphonephoto

Cranking through details to make my clients’ liv

Cranking through details to make my clients’ lives easier this week. Don’t hate it one bit. Tell me something in your life that you have to do, but you actually enjoy!

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.

It doesn’t interest me
what you do for a living.
I want to know
what you ache for
and if you dare to dream
of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me
how old you are.
I want to know
if you will risk
looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me
what planets are
squaring your moon...
I want to know
if you have touched
the centre of your own sorrow
if you have been opened
by life’s betrayals
or have become shrivelled and closed
from fear of further pain.

I want to know
if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it.

I want to know
if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you
to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us
to be careful
to be realistic
to remember the limitations
of being human.

It doesn’t interest me
if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear
the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.

I want to know
if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.”

It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live
or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.

It doesn’t interest me
who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.

It doesn’t interest me
where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know
what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.

I want to know
if you can be alone
with yourself
and if you truly like
the company you keep
in the empty moments.

I wrote a couple of thoughts about beauty on the blog—linked in bio. Here’s to a beautiful Thursday whatever your day holds! I’m off to pick out tile ✨

How was your week, everyone? Mine was filled to the brim with equal parts chasing all the minutia that makes up an interior design project (and, well, I have ELEVEN currently in progress) and a little bit of pulling my head out of the weeds and pushing towards some long term business goals with some INCREDIBLE friends, partners, and collaborators (you know who you are @luannnigara @aft_construction @therealnickpick and a few more that I’ll get to tell you about soon!). This weekend I get to meet my new niece (born durning covid) for the first time and I’m beside myself with excitement! (Prepare yourself for some cute baby pics in my stories)
Happy happy weekend, y’all! I’ll leave you with a new pic of a project from last year that involved mixing in an existing rug with some fun new patterns, and a gorgeous coffee table book of @randalford animal portraits. Xx Interior design: @kathleenaanderson 📸 @randalford
