Tell us a little (or a lot) about your home and the people who live there: I’m head of design for Urban Outfitters, my husband is a contemporary artist, my son, Goldie, is an adorable ham, and Jackson, our dog, has the same birthday as Bob Dylan. Enough said!
We love color, light, and things that bring humor and joy.
Describe your home’s style in 5 words or less: Retro Beach Escape
What is your favorite room and why? The living room is our favorite room, because it’s cozy and calm. Plus, it gets amazing light. It also has an incredible wooden built-in shelf from the 1950s.
What’s the last thing you bought (or found!) for your home? A piece of art from Niki Ford to cover an existing hole in our living room left over from a wood burning stove. Niki is from Joshua tree, and their work is amazing.
Any advice for creating a home you love? Don’t be afraid to show your true colors, plus some humorous family photos.
