SYL360 Sunday: Resort Style
I recently stayed at the Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Spa and was really impressed by how its design resonated with me and captured my sense of style. Nestled in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert with Camelback Mountain in the background, the resort’s style perfectly blends mid-century modern with southwestern design and the addition of local art combines to make Andaz a … Continue reading
SYL360 Sunday: Eclectic Mid-Century
This mid-century modern meets global meets rustic home is an eclectic mix of design styles I adore. When designing the space, the homeowners incorporated three design styles: mid-century, global, and rustic. There is a hierarchy to the styles used. The spaces are grounded with mid-century furnishings, accessorized with global treasures and rustic background finishes. This … Continue reading

Inspired Spaces: Kids Space
This children’s room just took me to a happy place. When designing children’s rooms, I believe three principles should guide the design: fun, function and future. A kid’s space should be fun, it should be a space they love to be in, a space that sparks imagination and keeps them interested. It should definitely be functional, having … Continue reading

However, work provides a different kind of structure to my days, so in some ways its good to be … Continue reading

It was designed by Celerie Kemble, principal of Kemble Interiors, for her close friends – a young couple with a growing family. The master bedroom is an energetic mix of pattern, bright colors and texture. Who wouldn’t want this as … Continue reading
The Art of the Backsplash
When designing a space, some things take priority. Take kitchen design for example: the layout of the appliances, cabinetry and countertops takes precedence as they are the foundation. Then layers of function and glamour are added with: the sink, flooring, faucets, lighting, knobs, pulls, and the backsplash. The backsplash? Yeah, the “tiled” surface that protects … Continue reading
Schoolhouse Rocks!
The home of Brian and Jill Faherty, owners of Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co., has all the elements of my dream home. Its clean, functional design is a blend of mid-century and modern elements. A few years ago the couple transformed their 4,700 square-foot Colonial-style home, which had great bones but small rooms, into a 3,200 square-foot family-friendly … Continue reading

As a working mother and wife trying my best to fit everything in, naturally somethings fall by the wayside. I … Continue reading
