I felt untethered in Los Angeles.

Joel Chen is a friend and I'm a huge fan of JF Chen.

Your home is a kind of a reflection of your family, your life, where you're at, where you want to be, so I love to entertain people in it.

I recognized that the passion I have and feel for interior and design and furniture was not organically there for styling. The fuel that drives you when doing something you truly love... wasn't there.

I always try to craft spaces around the moments that I imagine people or families having in them.

My love for pottery started completely by chance when a good friend of mine recommended I take a class. When I sat down at a pottery wheel, it was like love at first sight. It was so deeply meditative, and I felt connected right away.

In my opinion, there's not really a 'worst' flower; however, you do have to do some research based on the people whose space will hold the flowers. For instance, there are some flowers that are poisonous to have around kids or pets.

Your home is the truest and most honest reflection of who you are, where you've been, and where you want to go.

Your kids want to know that you can see them and that you care and we're fortunate enough to be able to do that.

I am always fascinated by the lighting and the brands they have at TJ Maxx.

For summer soirees, I recommend being bold. Add a flavorful herb or a fresh, exotic fruit or vegetable to transport your guests to another place.

Artists have always been my biggest source of inspiration.

When designing - whether it's a living room, event space, or tablescape - I always want guests to feel as though they are part of the experience.

Your home should be an extension of you and who you are as a person. If you can come home, and actually feel at home... that's fantastic design.

There's nothing worse than coming home to a room that looks like a catalog.

There are so many moving parts to a wedding, and I, it turns out, am a bit of a perfectionist.

Book-matched marble is one of the truest ways to showcase the natural beauty of the stone and can become a statement piece of art.

Don't take anything too literally. When throwing a coastal theme dinner, don't just put seashells on the table. Instead, think about the colors and tones of seashells, what they remind you of and go from there.

When buying vintage, it's important to choose pieces that you feel like you've already owned for years.

One of the best things to do with tablescapes in my experience, is really curating them with things that you've collected.
