Hi, lovelies! It's #DesignTalkTuesday and as promised, we're back with our RECAP POST from our exciting "bucket list" trip to New York Fashion Week, courtesy of @brizofaucets and @jasonwu.

What an honor it is to have been selected to be part of this tremendous event! However, it’s more than just the thrill of #NYFW, fine dining, and inspiring humans, it is the thrill of expanding and nourishing our industry relationships and deep product learning experiences; which ultimately enables us to build a stronger business and provide a robust set of in-depth, multi-dimensional, innovative services to our clients.

Read more about WHY these relationships and events are so important, and see some of our favorite fabulous moments! Link in Bio 👉🏻

My heartfelt thanks to the #brizofaucet and #jasonwu teams for their massive investment of time and resources, their impeccable attention to design detailing and quality, and their personal integrity and character.

Greetings, beautiful friends!!! It’s #designtalktuesday and following my fabulous trip to NYC last week with the lovely folks at @brizofaucet x @jasonwu for intense #designtalk, creative research, hands-on education, product development, exquisite food, gorgeous fashion, and SO many fun activities, I am compelled to share a few initial thoughts on: Relationships and Collaborations in Business, and I will dive much deeper and share all the details next week when I share my recap. #nyfw #brizofaucet #jasonwu

There is nothing more treasured and valuable to my team and our clients, than the trust they place in our recommendations and guidance! But how do we build that trust and ensure that what we are specifying is what’s best for our clients? By attending annual trade shows and deep learning events; and understanding the technical, materiality, and installation aspects and details of each product we recommend, that’s how! It is vital to our business and project success to nurture and maintain these relationships with top brands and manufacturers so we can provide the most innovative and durable products we can. These relationships, and all the many people that make sure we can do our best work, are our business family!

I know you’ve heard me talk about this before, but I think we can all agree, it definitely bears repeating!

Join me next week for more #designtalktuesday with links to learn more about relationships and collaborations, and my full recap.

Happy Tuesday!

Just the sweetest moments ever! We so loved designing this lovely space for our beautiful young and super creative client! She selected the colors, gave us all her must-haves for her new room, and we delivered her dream room. What a blessing it is to create and collaborate with a mindset of such pure aspiration and delight. Magical! #4ptclientnapachicmeetshamptonsfarmhouse

Happy Friday, my lovelies!!! 💕

The epitome of our "Clean Fresh Modern” signature style is ALL here in this oh so lovely kids shared bath.

Our Mission: To open and access an adjacent closet in order to expand the existing space to add a second sink and large custom vanity, and design it all using durable and easy maintenance materials that will grow with the kids over time.

We used high contrast, light industrial, and farmhouse touches as our concept, and carefully weaved all these classic elements together while keeping our focus on function and simplicity!

We couldn't love this space, or our very incredible clients, more! #4ptclientnapachicmeetshamptonsfarmhouse 🤍

Happy Wednesday, beautiful friends!

We're back in the kitchen for today's #designtalktuesday, and we’re wrapping up our two-part post with our last word and things to think about during the pre-planning phase! There are HUNDREDS of topics we cover when remodeling a kitchen, but these are a few key points that are always worth remembering!

BUDGET
Determine your budget priorities early in the planning phase, and decide where you will splurge, and where you can save; and ALWAYS have a contingency fund built into your budget. Don’t forget to consider those not-so-glamorous costs, like trash, hauling, and clean up. If your home is older, you may need to consider the costs of proper testing and abatement of toxic materials. If you will be living in your home during construction, plan accordingly and perhaps consider relocating during some of the most intrusive construction periods, and assign funds ahead of time, just in case.

MANAGE YOUR EXPECTATIONS
Now that we’ve discussed some of the technical considerations (see last week’s #designtalktuesday post), it’s VERY important to remember that your designer and contractor do not have a crystal ball, and they cannot predict the future; and last time I checked, they don’t have x-ray vision either, so as thorough, professional, and comprehensive as you will require your team to be before, during, and after your remodel, PLEASE be prepared for the inevitable and potential surprises, adjustments, and unforeseen mysteries that lurk as demo begins.

Be realistic with your timeline expectations when it comes to shipping and material supply. As we all know by now, things are a bit of a mess out there, but that doesn’t mean you cannot proceed and complete a successful project. It just means you may need to be flexible and patient.

Remember, your trusted team is doing ALL THEY CAN to expedite, track, purchase, value engineer and deliver your project on time and on budget, which is why it is SO important to hire a professional experienced team of experts you can trust, to support, guide, manage, and shepherd your project through to a successful completion! 👍🏻

Happy planning!
