For me, selecting the fabrics and finishes on a Thomas Hayes Studio (@thomashayesstudio) chair is one of life's sensual pleasures. I dare you to visit his instagram feed and not feel a magnetic desire to sit in every single one of his sublime creations. We are currently installing two of his chair designs for our clients, similar to the ones in the images we are regramming today. Mad respect to @michellegersoninteriors for her selection of breathtaking layers of textured whites and neutrals in this gorgeous kitchen.
This dreamy basement has hidden speakers and a drop-down projection screen, so our question to @msvicasinteriors is: when's movie night? #comehometoyourSelf
I’ve got a thing for corners that invite quiet time. And this one sports my favorite chair! Lovely curation @monicafrieddesign
To me, a “perfectly” designed home is one that allows our guests—and us—to feel “at home”; to be who we truly are. When that happens, you know that you have finally #comehometoyourSelf.
Fast, cheap, or good. In our fast moving society, we are sometimes lulled into thinking that if we see something we like, we should be able to have it right now — and for cheap. I have witnessed this mentality in meetings with potential clients. They review my portfolio and say, “I love your work! I want my home to be this beautiful, to only cost this much — and I want it right away.”
To which I say, “Really?!”
Here’s the LMB wisdom… You can have it beautiful, you can have it relatively soon, OR you can have it in the budget you want, but you cannot have all three. And usually you have to pick the top priority. Do you agree or disagree? Head to the link in bio to learn more about what's called the "Iron Triangle Theory" of project management.
