Q&A
What Cuvée Home items did you select and why?
I chose the Petite Table Lamp in Sky paired with the Gathered Tulipiere Lampshade in Ecru. Together they strike that perfect balance of timeless and fresh—the clean lines of the lamp anchor a room, while the gathered shade adds just the right amount of softness and charm. It feels like a forever piece: versatile enough to move from room to room, yet special enough to stand on its own.
Describe your home or personal design aesthetic in 3 words:
Nostalgic, collected, traditional.
What is your favorite styling piece or accessory?
I have a real love for lampshades. A well-chosen topper is such an easy—and often affordable—way to instantly elevate a room. It’s like jewelry for the home.
Where do you find inspiration:
Estate sales. Always.
Favorite Design Book:
Markham Roberts: Decorating the Way I See It.
Any tips for creating a stylish home?
Start by thrifting and secondhand sourcing—it’s the quickest way to add soul, patina, and personality. Then, do what makes you happy. Go with your instincts and broaden your horizons by reading as many books and magazines as you can. A stylish home doesn’t require a big budget or waiting until your kids are grown—it’s about mixing old and new, editing with intention, and creating a space that tells your story.
