A Sundrenched, Contemporary Apartment Remodel in Chicago for AD

It’s not always easy to make a contemporary interior feel lived-in. Often, such spaces feel stark, neutral, and sterile. However, at a recent shoot of Alexis Bednyak’s stunning (and contemporary!) design for Architectural Digest, I found it quite simple to create a warm and inviting look. I mean, with this natural light, who wouldn’t want to spend time here?!  To see some fun before and afters of the space, head to the link below. Xx

California Calm and Cool with Mydomaine and Amanda Barnes Xx

The holidays are only days away and already things are so very busy! What better way to start off the season than with this calming space? 

Sentimental as it may sound, Amanda Barnes Interiors made room for her clients to create memories. Intentionally calming color palettes and dual-purpose rooms for this growing family. As a photographer & stylist, I am drawn to the substance she's created in such gentle soothing spaces.

Known for having many talents: incredible mother, talented designer, and wonderful friend, Amanda's work speaks for itself. She is most recognized for her comfortable and chic family-friendly homes. This Silicon Valley home tour is no different, a peaceful extension of her beloved clients, which includes its own personalized meditation room.  

I am wishing  each of you a Holiday filled with love and warmth. I am hoping this space will set the tone for a relaxing holiday season. Thank you to the talented team at MYDOMAINE for supporting my collaborations. I am always so grateful to collaborate with such talented and inspiring women. Sending you all Love. Xx

Architectural Digest Feature Settles IT: Black is Back and Layers are In!!

Sean Anderson likes his layers and I personally love shooting them. His latest Master Suite in this warm Memphis home is a testament to what I’m telling you: Black is back and layers are in!!! Rich, warm black-tones set the mood for a master suite that magically feels equal parts art gallery, Smithsonian, and the coziest bedroom ever!!!! His layers are works of art—like jigsaw puzzles fitting together perfectly to adorn a wall without overwhelming the space. With creative and curated collections adorning the walls and comfort at every turn, this master suite is a remarkable space. Take a look HERE! 

And, as always, thanks to Sean Anderson for the beautiful work and Architectural Digest for the opportunity to continue to work with you.
