My go-to's
Clients, friends, and family often ask me for my go-to’s in regards to interiors. Every designer has a repertoire of their favorites – wall colors, trim colors, cabinet styles, hardwood stains, rugs, lamps, etc. I love mine so much, I thought I’d share!
Here are a few of my favorite things!
Wall color: Benjamin Moore’s Coastal Fog – I recommend it all the time, and have never had a client that didn’t love it!
Blue Ceiling/Accent: Healing Aloe by Benjamin Moore

Cabinet style: Shaker Style cabinets are my favorite! A bit retro in their look, they always look clean and simple to me!
