On My Design Wishlist
So many beautiful things in the world. Here are a few. Paper sculpture by Irving Harper, blue Arne Jacobsen floor lamp and a white Aalto tea trolley.

In My House
My wonderful family including my husband, daughter and 2 rambunctious dogs. Lots (and I mean lots) of vintage collections, too many books and pops of bright colors wherever I can sneak them in.

In My Closet
Stripes and more stripes, lots of blue, chambray, denim, turtleneck sweaters, black pants and button down shirts.

In My Passport
Pages waiting to be filled with more far-flung adventures. In my younger years: 13 countries. And I’ve only got 15 more states to see but who’s counting?
