W H I T E W O O D B L A C K - never fails. ever. When I’m designing a space I like to consider how it speaks to the rooms around it. Do they all work together? Do they feel like different chapters of the same book? I think it’s important for a home to have a cohesive flow, a few common threads... I believe connecting the dots creates good energy. Or maybe I just like pretty view through a doorway, hard to tell 😉 ..... But more importantly - I got a review from a past client that seriously knocked my socks off. So much of this business is focused on the final product but it’s really the process and the connection that makes a project a success. Curious what they said? It’s in my story but also saved to my highlights because I’m hoping to get lots more 🙌🏻
¡Hola, Monday! Off too a slow start today and feeling envious of this San Francisco home office we designed last year. The blue linen and leather chair, that huuuuuge white oak desk... I’m sure if I had these things I would be very productive. I’m almost certain of it. 😉 #DESIGNTIP: A great way to save space on your desk - floor task lamp! We put one on each end of this desk for maximum light without compromising work area. Some favorites (along with this desk and some great office chairs) 👉🏼 follow the link in my profile and click this photo 👌🏼 http://liketk.it/2zs7m #liketkit @liketoknow.it
There is an art to styling shelves but it’s also just a matter of collecting items you love and playing with them until it feels right. I think balance is always the key. Vary your heights and shapes and try to add texture with greenery or natural (think wood, rattan) elements. I gathered few of the accessories I’m currently coveting and posted them on @liketoknow.it - go to the link in my profile and click this photo to shop 👌🏼 Photos by @natashacadman http://liketk.it/2zoUb #liketkit @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.home #LTKhome
Currently obsessing over this project by @arentpykestudio ☆☆☆☆☆ Everything about it feels so intentional but effortless at the same time. Which is always the goal amiright? The Magnolia House project is saved to their stories - I suggest you go feast your eyes. #kitchengoals #designinspiration
Hello lovely new people! Seems as though that last post caught fire and I’ve got some new friends 👋🏻 In case you are wondering what goes on around here - I’m Katie, formerly Californian (by way of Boston and New York) and moved to the North of England September last year. The kicker is that along with my husband and two kids, I have brought my design business across the pond as well 🙈 On here I share 90% my own work (client projects and my home) with occasional inspiration from other designers, travel, and family. Up there in the stories you will likely be bombarded with videos of my kids and life in Blighty along with behind the scenes of sourcing and installs. My big push for this year is to get clients in the U.K. 🙏🏼 Back in California things were rockin and rollin and I’m still working on projects in San Francisco but over here, well, I have exactly cracked the market... yet 😉 So with no further ado, here’s my used car salesman moment of the day - I’m offering my in-home design consult for £100 if you book by the end of January. Normally $295 in Cali and £195 in England. Wondering what a design consult entails? Follow the link in my profile and click this photo to see my services page. This is for any type of project: renovations, furnishings, kitchen + bath design, new build, etc. - it all starts with a consult. And if some advice is all you need and you want to take it from there, that’s absolutely fine as well! And if you are still reading then you deserve a gold star ⭐️ Cheers! Xx PHOTO BY @natashacadman
One of my first projects and still one of my favorites. That color. That light (by the amazing @windychien). Those sheets. ♥️ Linked some gorgeous lumbar pillows, pendant lights, bedding, and the furniture pieces for you guys! 👉🏼 follow the link in my profile and click the photo👌🏼 http://liketk.it/2zlgW #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKhome
There is a big misconception when it comes to interiors and young kids - no, we don’t have to saw off all the corners and buy all gray furniture. There are ways to make family-friendly homes beautiful. Sometimes it takes investing in better quality, sometimes it takes being smart about fabric selections or furniture placement, sometimes it’s about good looking toy storage! - but in the end, those kiddos aren’t going anywhere any time soon - so let’s create gorgeous, intentional spaces that can be enjoyed by adults without fear of little tomato sauce hands and unsteady feet. My sweet Willa agrees. #lifewithkids #sorealhomes #momlife
Victorian penny chairs might be my newest obsession ♥️ Any do any Sunday antiquing today? Walls: Bone by @farrowandball Dresser: Studio Green by @farrowandball photo by @natashacadman styling by yours truly
WOWZA I love me some *REAL* photos! I mean, don’t get me wrong, I do alright with the ol’ iPhone but MAN the difference a photographer (and a brilliant one at that, @natashacadman ) makes is 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 Couldn’t be happier with how this flat came together in the last 3 months. A mix of old and new, vintage and modern - so fun adding my California touch to a classic English home. Now... who else has got an old victorian in need of some love? #harrogate #ilkley #york #london #leeds Get the look 👉🏼 click the link in my profile http://liketk.it/2zi2u #liketkit @liketoknow.it
