Pattern on pattern at The Winchester? Groundbreaking *miranda priestly voice* Gird your loins & feast your eyes on the drawing room, a space full of vintage lighting, custom upholstery, and a whole lotta personality The goal here was to create an intentional space for gathering. Whether that’s the neighborhood parents gathering for cocktails, the kiddos spread out with their toys, or a family gathering stretching into the evening, the space needed to do it all. While everything is gorgeous and soft to the touch, it’s also all made with a young family in mind (ahem, performance fabric everything!) because beautiful should never be stressful, and the fancy furniture is for everyone!

Cover Story! So incredibly excited to be on the cover of Modern Luxury’s @nsmodernluxury November issue! What a special home for a very special family! And now I can finally share more photos from this home that I’ve been keeping under wraps for what seems like an eternity!

We did it! 3 full days of shooting this dreamy project that was 2+ years in the making! @heathertalbert was a dream to work with and captured all the special details. @melaniemarshallcreativeco made the space shine with the florals and I could not have pulled this off without all the help from @dana.gratton and my sweet niece @kailey.olson1 who packed, carried, loaded, cleaned, ran errands and did so much to help me! I'll always be thankful that @melodymassoth trusted me to design her dream home and said yes to all my ideas! Thank you for opening your home to us ladies, letting us make a huge mess and going above and beyond with all the meals and treats! You are the best. And Harvey....for keeping us entertained and making some CUTE puppy shots!

It’s giving coastal vibes! 🐚 Have you ever thought about combining paint and wallpaper? Swipe to see how we prepared, painted, and wallpapered to create these dreamy dressing rooms. Inspired by 1920s beachside hotels and fond memories of the Connecticut beach club, the trompe l’oeil drapery and panoramic views create an immersive coastal escape. Hoping this is helpful! Any questions, please ask away! #cabana #meghanjaydesign #poolhouse #layeredinteriors #paintingideas

This beautiful blue Foyer, featuring wallpaper that paid homage to the wallcovering installed in the early 1930s and ceiling paper designed by the Showhouse’s Honorary Chair @marymcdonaldinc , was the perfect, peaceful welcoming to this historic home🩵 Design: @cynthiamcculloughinteriors Photography: @heathertalbert Showhouse: @lfshowhouse

Step into our Chicago studio and see what’s new! This Spring, we refreshed our studio space with a kitchen update, installed our very own custom “trellis garden” @isidoreleroy wallpaper, and added some beautiful vintage pieces to the front conference room. Clients can now enjoy our city studio filled with inspiring patterns and color. Whether you’re strolling by for coffee or looking to collaborate on your next home project, our doors are always open!
