Whew—life.
After an incredible few months working on the Kips Bay Showhouse, speaking at High Point Market, and launching my Spoonflower collection, I’m back in The Living Room with fresh reflections and new creative energy
The last few months have been full. Not just with projects and deadlines, but with growth, movement, and a whole lot of beauty behind the scenes. When I first launched The Living Room, it was always meant to be a space for storytelling—an open door into the heart of my work.
But when the creative season gets loud, the quiet spaces sometimes have to pause. And that’s exactly what happened here. From December to now, my focus shifted to some incredible design moments that I can’t wait to bring you into.
Since we last connected, here’s a glimpse of what I’ve been up to:
- I launched my first Spoonflower wallpaper and textile collection (a surreal, full-circle moment).
- I attended High Point Market—with the honor of joining the stage for a few incredible speaking engagements.
- And most of all? I’ve poured my heart into not one, but two showhouse spaces(Kips Bay West Palm Beach + Southeastern Designer Showhouse) out of state. These were not just projects—they were personal milestones.
These weren’t just projects—they were personal milestones.
Designing from a distance. Managing installs. Crafting immersive experiences rooted in emotion, storytelling, and intentionality. It’s been wild and wonderful—and trust me, there’s a full post coming your way soon diving into both of those journeys.
What’s next?
I’m coming back to this space with more intention. Expect:
- Creative reflections you won’t find on social media
- Design stories and lessons from recent showhouse experiences
- Fresh resources and tools for those of you dreaming up your own spaces
- Thoughtful inspiration to help you reconnect with the meaning of home
This isn’t just a blog. This is The Living Room—a space for connection, conversation, and curiosity.
So if you’re still here… thank you. And if this is your first time pulling up a seat—welcome. You’re in the right place.
xo,
Marie
