Oh, the guest room. Arguably one of the most important rooms in your home, as your guests will be experiencing the house from the perspective of this space. Your guest room is their little home base in the world while they are visiting. Why then has it always gotten all of my leftovers? One by […]

Last year when we were still living in So Cal, I was asked to style our home for San Diego Magazine’s December issue.
