You don't need to spend a lot of money on stuff when you have amazing architecture.

Color is a very personal thing. You need to make sure to choose a color that makes you happy. But I don't recommend accent walls - choose a color you can live with on all four walls.

In every interior my firm and I design, we are always reaching for vintage pieces, and materials that feel classic and timeless. It's how I feel about fashion as well, and definitely one of the intentions I had when designing the layette collection. I'm not a fan of trends.

I live in a beautiful vintage building that was built in the heart of downtown Chicago.

Your home should tell the story of who you are.

About 80 percent of the stuff I live with is old. I like letting things take on the character they’re meant to have by really being used. … when you own things that have the imperfections they deserve, that they’ve earned from a well-lived life, it frees you from feeling as though they’re untouchable.

I can change a light fixture, and I can do certain things. But I'm really bad in terms of construction. I can't do any of it on my own.
