Summer packed her shit and left, so here’s the photo dump I’ve been sitting on for a year. 💙

Puerto Rico, this time last year. Today, 41.

Mostly, I’m just grateful. For the two people who started me on this journey, for another year of life, for the people I love, the places I’ve been, the things I’ve built, the things I’ve learned, and all the versions of myself I’ve had the privilege of becoming.

There’s still so much I want to see, make, love, laugh at and experience. And I’m incredibly grateful I get to keep going.

Hello, 41. 💙

And lest these photos have you thinking I move through life with any actual grace, please enjoy the last slide. by @taviaforbes

This Jamaican family had a custom-built home that felt too sterile, too cool, and not quite like them. The assignment was to bring it to life — color, personality, warmth — without a full construction overhaul. And because this family does everything together, they asked us to leave one space for them to design alongside their daughters. We respected that completely.

So we worked with what the home gave us. We added beams in the dining room, painted in @benjaminmoore Tawny Rose for that layer of warmth the space was missing. Travel pieces hung with intention. Pottery hand-selected by our own, Tavia.

A design that speaks to her comfort and his love for visual impact — and a finished space that feels like this family, through and through. taken in Atlanta, Georgia by @taviaforbes

The March/April issue of FLOWER Magazine has officially hit stands and our 2025 Flower Showhouse pool lounge is inside. ✨⁠
⁠
As we shared in the feature, beauty matters but feeling matters more. This room was imagined for relaxing, musing, and meaningful connection, where texture, contrast, and reflection shape the experience as much as color and form.⁠
⁠
Thank you to all of the sponsors and collaborators who helped bring this vision to life, and to the FLOWER team for the spotlight.⁠

The past few months have been full — time spent deep in projects, refining details, and laying thoughtful groundwork for what’s ahead. 🤎

While things may have felt quieter here, the studio has been anything but. We’re moving into the new year with clarity, momentum, and a renewed focus on work that feels layered, intentional, and enduring.

Happy New Year, friends! ♥️ taken in Atlanta, Georgia by @taviaforbes

Our Flower Magazine Showhouse space wouldn’t have shined quite the same without @ngalatrading. Their statement pieces a bold, worldly elegance to the Pool Lounge — a perfect reflection of the layered luxury we love.

Our space came to life with their unforgettable craftsmanship, and we’re grateful for the standout pieces they generously provided: the Ostrich Fluff Daybed, Nerissa Leather Fringe Chairs in Metallic Leather, MUD Ceramic Leaf Pod, Wicker Swing Chair, Polished Kudu Horn Table, and the Liefie Chandelier in Cream. Each one added dimension, texture, and a touch of artistry that completed the Pool Lounge.
