Partial Reveal!

A little while back, Mackenzie from Design Darling fame, invited me to participate in her “design dialogues” series. As a part of the interview, I mentioned three items on my bucket list. One of which was to have my work published in a magazine. And well, today, I am here to say that by some crazy crazy twist of fate, my work is being published!!!
You might have suspected this based on my secrecy about my condo, but now I can confirm it. Last month, the day before I left for Mexico, my condo was photographed for a feature in Chicago Magazine. Ummm… is this real life??? I have to say, I am still in shock.
Here is a shot of my place on the day of the shoot. Utter chaos. Yes there is a sofa in the kitchen.

So you’ll have to wait until April to see most of my place, but I just couldn’t wait to share the news!

In order to repay you for the 4 month wait, I am sharing pictures of the two unpublished rooms of my condo.

This space was pretty much finished when we moved in. It isn’t necessarily what I would’ve personally chosen. But I am obsessed with our countertops, which are Quartzite. They are so insanely durable. All in all, I think it all came together nicely.
Green detail shot.
The guest bedroom has definitely been a challenge. We don’t have a lot of storage space in here, so this room became the spot where we threw everything. Luckily, it has come together and I love the results. Especially that light fixture!

Let me know if you have any source questions, I’d be happy to share!

  81. We have almost identical kitchens….even down to striped towels (west elm? mine are west elm). I need a rug thought and your striped one is amazing. Where did you get it? I’d love to copy you :)
