🥹🥹🥹 @livingetcofficial March cover! Ummm so this happened and I don’t know what to say other than I’m so excited and very sentimental and emotional that I’m living my dream and anyone likes what I am doing. It just feels unreal to me.
I remember modeling in my twenties and just feeling so low and sad like there is no way I’m fulfilling my calling bc this can’t be the feeing. I wasn’t that great at it and I just wanted so badly to be good. And for things to click. And for acceptance and all the things. It fees like things are clicking now and I’m so grateful. Eeee! Thank you @livingetcofficial for this very fun surprise and opportunity!!❤️❤️❤️

AD MEXICO!!! You guys I am so excited about this feature. I just found out it went live yesterday and i can’t tell you how humbled I am to be aligned with @admexico . Everything about this just excites me more than you will ever know!
Our home, shot by @jennapeffley and styled by @piecesofcate , has such a soul and represents how I feel about design. It’s comfortable, eclectic, and has a touch of whimsy🫶🏻
I don’t even know what to say bc I’m still pinching myself. But thank you to all of you who have been following along, send so much encouragement and support, and encouraged me as a designer! Your DMs and comments mean so much to me… gah!!! taken in Palos Verdes Estates, California by @kimlapininteriors

We’ve been working on our house for three years, which means I’ve had a lot of time to think (and rethink) every design decision🫠

One element I always knew I wanted to incorporate was moiré. It feels whimsical and unexpected, but also incredibly classic because of its long history in interiors.

I’m so excited to finally share our home with you guys because it’s such a reflection of my personal style, but also because I think you’ll be surprised by how different materials, influences, and eras can live together when there’s restraint and intention behind them.

A reminder that your home doesn’t have to follow one design language. If you love it, that’s all that matters! taken in Los Angeles, California by @kimlapininteriors

T Minus 5 weeks people (or so I’ve been told) before we get to start moving our belongings in! I can’t say we will be in the house at that time fully because we want to take it slow and not totally overwhelm ourselves but we’re gonna be in GOOD SHAPE! You guys I’m just so excited to share more with you! taken in Los Angeles, California by @kimlapininteriors

Not my latest obsession, but an obsession nonetheless! Definitely need to plan ahead for this one, but I’m finding myself incorporating it more and more into my projects as a way of differentiating myself and my design, so that our projects feel special, architectural, and layered.

Are you as obsessed as I am?! by @kimlapininteriors

I could stare at his paintings all day lonnnnng like I think my everyday life would improve 10-12% by owning one of his pieces. Until then I will EDUCATE and spread my obsessions all over the internet bc trust and believe I am not the only STAN out there.

Karrrrren🎉🥰❤️ happy birthday to my other half.

We all have those people in our life that we channel when we’re trying to do the right thing, be a better person, try to be more charming, treat people with more grace or kindness in the moment when you want to lay it on them etc etc etc!

Karen is who I try to be like in those moments where my human nature gets the best of me. I think “ok what would Karen do?” Karen you are the better version of me and I learn so much from you. The way you are as a friend, the way you are in your marriage, with Barnie, at work, all of it! You’re hilarious without trying to be, you’re always the life of the party because your personality is magnetic, your beautiful, so stylish, hard working, and my favorite part is that you are thoughtful on who you allow into your world and you are the most wonderful when you count someone a friend. There isn’t a fake bone in your body. Your strengths sharpen me and I strive to be more like you.

You’ve been next to me as my biggest support every step of the way. You give me confidence in myself in what I can accomplish and are always down for the most exciting of plans or the most boring of plans because we always have the best time when we’re together. It doesn’t matter what we’re doing. If we’re together, it’s the best day.

I love you more than I can express and am the luckiest to be your other soul mate. I love you!!! taken in Los Angeles, California by @kimlapininteriors
