Steal My Sources | Laurie's Favorite Sources for Inspiration
I believe I am one of the last living catalog people. I was working on catalog layouts and photoshoots when blue line meant writing on the proofs in blue pencil because the camera could not see the blue markings, when cut and paste was a literal term, and when a polaroid was taken of each image and hatched inside the photographer's armpit before anything was committed to film.

A New Kind of Modern Farmhouse
This house was the best kind of design project: nice clients with beautiful taste who aren't afraid to take some risks. We started working with Brian and Hilary Coate in the spring of 2019 to convert their California cottage into a modern farmhouse.
For the Love of Wallpaper
Simplicity is lovely, but sometimes a splash of color or pattern is just what a room needs to bring it to life. We love that wallpaper has made a comeback in interiors in both large and small ways.
Hand Work | The Art of the Block Print
If you know Elsie Green, you know that we really only traffic in two patterns: block prints and stripes. Our love of block prints goes way back to our first trip to India more than 20 years ago where we saw the blocks hand carved and the fabrics hand printed by artisans who passed their techniques down through generations.
