Slow decorating isn’t about waiting forever — it’s about waiting for the right things. It’s about honoring your space, your story, and your style. It’s about creating rooms that feel lived in, loved, and layered with meaning.

The best design moments happen when plans change.

I was set on stone floors… then I found old fencing milled into planks. Now Connor’s office feels warm, moody, and full of story.

What’s the most unexpected material you’d use in your home?

This cabinet doesn’t “match” the rest of the room.

And that’s exactly why I love it.

In our kitchen, there are two arched openings that lead into the pantry, one on each side. From the beginning, I dreamed of having matching cabinets tucked inside those arches—something special, something with character. Of course, finding two antique cabinets that matched perfectly? Nearly impossible. So I figured we’d design them.

Part of the magic of shopping at Paris flea markets lies in how it incorporates the art of slow decorating. It isn’t about rushing to fill a room. It’s about wandering until you find the piece that feels like it’s been waiting for you. Sometimes that means crossing the ocean for the treasure that will carry your story home.
