Hey friends! I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving! Every day I feel so grateful for all of YOU and this spectacular community we have created TOGETHER. And, as I had a moment of stillness today reflecting on the abundance I have been blessed with, I decided to take a different approach to Small Business Saturday and get a little head start this evening.

This year, with purchase any one of our signature candles from our shop, we will donate 20% of proceeds to A Place Called Home, a charity so close to my heart.

“A Place Called Home is a transformational youth and community center based in South Central Los Angeles. Founded in 1993 as a safe space for young people facing poverty and systemic adversity. @apch2830 provides a safe, nurturing Environment with FREE PROGRAMMING in the arts, education and wellness, along with wraparound counseling support for Fourth Central youth to help them improve their economic conditions, and delve healthy, fulfilling and purposeful lives.”

Please know that while I am blissfully grateful for your support of our new shop and our small business, I would be even more touched and grateful, (and it would be so freakin’ awesome) if we could work together to improve the lives of our youth in Los Angeles. Please take a moment to check out this wonderful organization @apch2830

Happy Thanksgiving, lovelies! This year has been one of the most meaningful (and toughest) years for our business and our family, and although we are grateful every single day for all of life’s challenges, lessons, miracles, abundance and gifts, today we want to take a moment to say how thankful we are to the special people we love and appreciate so very much…

🍂 First, to our small-but-mighty dedicated team, for believing (at every twist and turn, and in every moment), in our “little engine that could” vision. We couldn’t take a single step without you! We are so grateful for your commitment and heart.

🍂To our family who, (this year especially), stepped up and showed just how powerful and strong love, faith, and God’s love, can be! I have no words that adequately describe my true gratitude and love for you.

🍂 To ALL our incredible clients past and present, for trusting us during one of life’s most immeasurably stressful and challenging times. For your faith in our team and in our commitment and ability to bring your vision to life.

🍂To our colleagues, industry partners, photographers, trades, suppliers, vendors, reps and dear friends, THANK YOU for all you do to to inspire us, show up, lend a hand, save us, work so collaboratively to give us your best, and build excellence into our business and client experiences.

🍂 To our closest and dearest friends, (you know who you are), for pushing and lifting us up to a greatness even WE don’t yet see.

🍂 To all of YOU!!! We are so grateful every day to share our life with you here, and we THANK YOU for your continued support, encouragement, love, and friendship! This community means so much to us, and we truly do love you!

🍂To those who are missing a loved one today, we send you our love, hugs, hearts, and prayers.

You probably already KNOW just how much we LOVE #cleanfreshmodern NEUTRALS here at 4PT, and you probably also know how much we love to share our design tips with YOU! So, today, we are sharing our #4ptfavorite go-to neutral white paint colors from our @Dunn_Edwards paint deck.

1 - Dunn Edwards / Lace Veil at 30% Custom Blend / Eclectic Reimagined Modern Farmhouse, Westchester, CA

2 - Dunn Edwards / Swiss Coffee / Napa Chic Meets Modern Farmhouse, Calabasas, CA

3 - Dunn Edwards / White Picket Fence / Kitchen and Butler’s Pantry, Pasadena Showcase 2020, Arcadia, CA

4 - Dunn Edwards / Cool December / Contemporary Home Remodel, Calabasas CA

5 - Dunn Edwards / Droplets / Malibu Rustic Retreat, Malibu, CA

TIP: Remember, just because a color looks great in one space, doesn’t mean it automatically will look the same in your space. Therefore, make sure you TEST your paint colors for at least 24 hours once the paint samples are on your walls. Swatches should be at least 24x24. Make sure to apply your samples in the same fashion your FINAL paint will be applied (prep, primer, and 2 coats of finish paint). Once it has cured and dried, make sure to place your samples in the darkest and lightest parts of your home, as well as a place that has a lot of reflection from the outdoor area, as the colors will shift when a prominent color outside the windows is reflected.

Need more paint advice, don’t hesitate to check out our “Ask Me Anything” stand alone online consulting sessions! You’d be surprised at how much we can cover in one hour to help solidify your paint selections.

Happy Wednesday, friends!

Happy Monday, my friends!

An oldie, but goodie - A Contemporary California Farmhouse Chic Kid's Bath with a touch of modern whimsy. Our mission on this modern farmhouse design project was to create a bright whimsical shared bathroom space for two vibrant and busy school-aged kids with a touch of creative contemporary nostalgia! Of course, adding more functional storage space is always on the list, and we utilized the general existing plumbing locations for the new fixtures and trim. Touches of antique brass in a vintage style and whimsical touches throughout this space give it the personality and charm that brings this space to life!

Scroll though to see some of the sweet and classic details in this beautiful space!!!

It’s #designtalktuesday and I’ve been thinking a lot about this topic over the last few weeks especially; and with all the Meta-this and Meta-that chatter (which I totally get the value of), it’s important not to forget the roots of design and the human touch in our beloved design industry.

Not a day goes by in my design-build process that I don't take a pen to paper and draw. It is the most organic and thoughtful expression of my design and heart that I have. It's also a deeply personal tool of communication between me and my client! It's honest, fast, portable, emotional, and my clients' always appreciate seeing every aspect of the design development process. However, that said, we must work WITH technology to stay relevant, competitive, and innovative.

It is the appropriate collaboration between 2-D and 3-D computer animation and the human factor that makes for a well-described and successful design process and ultimately, a very detailed final set of construction documents. From cartoon quick sketching and hand drafting, to architectural renderings, It's worth it to retain this important skill.

We, as creatives, must work to retain the "organic and authentic” processes in our industry! I can't imagine our world without the emotional and very real human factor in business.

Let’s embrace the future, but take a few treasures from the past with us!

Just a little something I was thinking about. Have a beautiful day! 🍂

We’re in the throes of another fun and busy week here at the studio, and wanted to take a quick minute for a quick look recap from our annual trip to Fall High Point Market. I loved all the texture, tones, and neutral warmth that was showing at market. It’s so great to know that a warm, cozy and #cleanfreshmodern neutral palette, year after year, will always be sought after in interior design; and oooohhh the textures are GORGEOUS!!!

Stay tuned, follow along, and watch for our full Market Recap coming soon!

Happy Monday, my friends!
