What’s your current color obsession?

Right now, I’m drawn to deep, moody hues that create an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication. My entire downstairs is wrapped in Dark Olive by Benjamin Moore—it’s rich, dramatic, and makes every space feel effortlessly chic.

What’s a tiny design detail that makes a huge difference?

The finish on surfaces—whether it’s walls, trim, or built-ins—can make or break a space. The right sheen can instantly elevate a room, adding an element of understated elegance, while the wrong choice can have the opposite effect, disrupting the overall harmony.
