Sea Change – Designer Megan Tagliaferri’s Home
I’m sharing some inspirational pictures of Designer Megan Tagliaferri‘s own home taken by Laure Joliet for the blog post Sea Change by Heather John Fogarty at C Home. I really like what she has to say about her approach to design. “My work is infused with visual and emotional textures,” she comments. “That’s where the…
Day Eight of the 10-Day Spring Cleaning Challenge – The Closet
Did you clean today? I didn’t clean today. The Buzzfeed Spring Clean Challenge for Day 8 is to do the closets and I just wasn’t into it. Well, maybe I kind of cleaned the closet. I returned two pairs of pants to Nordstrom. These pants look so cute on the model but not so cute…
Fashion Inspiration – Lace & Leopard Print
It’s a fashion post! Makes sense because part of my design approach is to look at the way my clients dress themselves in order to help them dress their homes. It’s not a perfect method, but it has merit and is usually a good guide to how people like to express themselves. So I’m just…
Day Seven of the 10-Day Spring Cleaning Challenge – The Windows
We’re in the home stretch of the Buzzfeed 10 Day Spring Cleaning Challenge! Today is the window challenge and it was kind of a let down for me because it was raining in Chicago this morning. I was hoping to have sparkles of light dancing on my freshly cleaned windows like something from an ad.…

Day Five of the 10-Day Spring Cleaning Challenge – The Living Room
Rutro… I forgot to post the Buzzfeed Spring Cleaning Challenge yesterday. By forgot, I mean “forgot” as in yesterday was a super long busy day and by the time I got home I put on my pj’s, poured a glass of wine, read a bit, and then went to bed. So we got a free…
Faded & Fabulous
Today Erin Gates at Elements of Style celebrates the beauty of the faded Persian style rug – a look that is also a favorite of mine. The faded colors and soft textures fit in so well with any style of room. It gives personality to a minimalist room, age to a contemporary room, and softness…

Day Four of the 10-Day Spring Cleaning Challenge – The Entry
I felt like I was cheating on the challenge for today because the entry to our home is pretty non-existent. We live in a condo building and our front door and mat don’t get much dirt on them. I suppose I could have taken my microfiber cloth wrapped butter knife and cleaned in between the…
