Today’s the day! Presenting the design for this incredible #MarinMountainHome. This house looks like it was plucked out of Sun Valley and placed lovingly atop a hill in San Anselmlo. We are giving it a sophisticated rustic vibe with vintage rugs, worn leather, aged iron and brass, washed linen, landscape paintings... basically all the things that make my heart skip a beat. I’ll give you a sneak peek in stories later today but the install won’t be until November so we will all just have to hang in there to see the full transformation 🙌🏻😊 #patienceisnotmyvirtue #celebrateprogress . . . #interiors2you #hallways #interiordesignersofinsta #marincounty #interiordesignerslife #before #housegoals #homesohard #homeadore #hometransformation #interiordesigninspo #smmakelifebeautiful #ambularinteriorsaintgotnothingonme #sodomino #theeverygirlathome #inmydomaine #ihavethisthingwithhome #currentdesignsituation #seekinspirecreate #makinglivinglovely #heyhomehey #stellarspaces #showemyourstyled
Said goodbye to this scene yesterday morning, not back in England until September 😧 Currently in California for the presentation of my San Anselmo project. Furnishings and design for a beautiful 4700sqft home in the hills. The house is rustic and beautiful with views from every window, we aren’t changing much - just small updates to refresh and filling it with gorgeous furnishings. I couldn’t be more excited to show my wonderful clients what I’ve put together for their home. Keep up with me on stories, lots to share this week! Then meeting the family in Spain later this week for a *real* vacation 🙌🏻 . . . #interiordesigntrends #livingroominspo #abmspaces #interiorstyling #livingroomdecor #homewithrue #myhousebeautiful #interiordesignuk #summertravel #seekinspirecreate #mydomaine #smmakelifebeautiful #showEMyourstyled #sodomino #ambularinteriorsaintgotnothingonme #secretstylingclub #modernbohemian #californiainteriordesign #interiordesignerlife #interiordesignerlondon #makehomematter #IDCOathome #secretstylingclub #homeadore #interiordesignlover #mycovetedhome #ilovemyjob #howihaven

Impromptu weekends in London is just the type of thing I was dreaming about when we decided to pick up and move 5,186 miles across the globe 10 months ago. Other than the lack of sleep (hello, 4 people in a hotel room 🙄 I’m going back to Airbnb’s after this) this was a very chill weekend hanging out mostly in West London. Friday we cruised around Richmond, had a fab dinner, and walked along the Thames soaking up the evening summer sun. Saturday we made a trip into the city center to show the kiddos the natural history meusum (shockingly they loved it), then over to the Victoria&Albert museum to try to sneak into the Dior exhibit (no luck) so instead we sat and watched the littles have the time of their lives splashing in the epic paddling pool in the museum courtyard (this counts as culture, right?). Sunday we accidentally spent the ENTIRE day in Kew Botanical Gardens, possibly the best park we’ve ever been to. We extended an extra night so I could have a design consult just outside of the city in a lovely little town with a lovely little family (fingers crossed this project moves forward, it will be a 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼one). Back in Harrogate now and elbow deep in laundry, prepping for my trip to SF on Saturday that will kick off our 7 week hiatus from England this summer. Instead of being overwhelmed by it all (so. much. to. do.).... I’m trying to focus on being really *really* grateful for all this freedom we’ve managed to build into our lives for the moment. Okay, way-too-long post over 😬 please don’t unfollow me 😂 . . . #expatlife #summerinlondon #wanderlust #thebigsmoke #travelingwithkids #summer19 #europetravel #designlife #interiordesigner #exterior_design #blackhouse #hydrangeas #kewgardens #richmonduponthames #uklife #westlondon #londoninteriordesigner #californiainteriordesign #londondesigner #sanfranciscointeriordesign #designyourlife #smmakelifebeautiful #ambularinteriorsaintgotnothingonme #abmlifeisbeautiful #seekinspirecreate #mycurrentdesignsituation

Planning summer travels and dreaming about this gorgeous hotel we stopped at in the South of France two years ago 😍 off the beaten path and tucked into a rather random location @lesrochesrouges was a treasure trove of design inspirations. What’s the most inspiring place you’ve been? I think we should start a design travel company.... whose on board?! . . . #interiordesign #interiorinspo #decor #decorinspo #interiorstyling #instadecor #shelfie #shelfstyling #southoffrance #wanderlust #mytinyatlas #organicmodern #inspire_me_home_decor #seekinspirecreate #smmakelifebeautiful #finditstyleit #interior123 #europeaninteriordesign #livingetcuk #smpliving #ukdesigner #californiainteriordesign #londoninteriordesigner #europetravel #travelblogger #designlife #summertravel
The truth is I’m elbow deep in this California project and ain’t got nothing new for ya 😬 would you rather see the highlights reel of past projects or some behind the scenes way less beautiful shots of what I’m working on? Or just photos of my weekly mantle restyling 😂😏 what, no?
