Solving an asymmetric issue with a plaid design on the facade of this residential apartment building in Stamford, CT. #plaid #architecture #materials
Quirky sculptural things in life that involve plant life make me smile. I really don’t have a green thumb like my hubby does but I enjoy walking thru a garden in full bloom. Spring are you around the corner? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #poeticmodernism® #livewellathome #sensory #greenthumb
Is Sous Vide the next healthful way to cook next to steam? Check out my bio above with the link and what I learned at an amazing event I participated in by making my own sous vide limoncello with @sksappliances @modenus @designhounds #designhoundsathome Photo credit: @sksappliances
How good does this Sous Vide Limoncello cocktail look? I can’t believe I made it with a sous vide maker! Cheers! Happy Friday! Check my story cutting lemons haha I’m now cheering with @sksappliances @modenus and #designhounds at a Designhounds AT HOME Kick off event sponsored by Signature Kitchen Suite #SKScheers #sousvideweek #designhoundsathome
Repetition somehow calms the nerves...
Do you know what Sous Vide is and that it is International Sous Vide week? If you have ever had the most tender leg of lamb or steak - when you used to dine out at Top Chef’s restaurants- most likely it was done by Sous vide. It’s the kind of cooking that takes place in a precisely temperature-controlled water bath. This method of cooking offers unparalleled control over whatever you are trying to cook. When I used to travel to the Kitchen Bath Industry show @kbis_official I learned about Sous vide from Signature Kitchen Suite. They integrate sous vide into many of the ranges along with steam and other incredible options. As a #designhound with @modenus, I have the honor to celebrate this coming Friday the launch of Designhounds AT HOME by learning how to make a Sous Vide Limoncello with this beautiful giftbox of goodies from @sksappliances Thankyou Signature Kitchen Suite, I am excited to learn how to sous vide with Chef Nick Ritchie, your team and all the other amazing designers on zoom this Friday! Cheers oh its not Friday yet!! #sksxdesignhounds #designhounds #sousvide

This picture came up as a memory.. Four years ago today we were together at the KBIS - Kitchen and Bath Industry show out scouting out brands to see what’s next in kitchen and bath design with @modenus @designhounds @kbis_official . Tonight we are having zoom cocktails together how perfect! @marilyngrussell @time2design. Miss these times, nothing better than mixing friends, design and cocktails! #design #fridayfriends #kbis
My son wanted this cloud for the holidays. He put it up on his wall above his desk last night....I really ❤️ it, I guess because Clouds have tons of symbolic meaning- mystery, dreams, secrets, emotions. I now want to know his why.. For me, I connect to the purpose of a dream and the messages behind them. What do clouds mean to you? #clouds #design #light
Best CORY COSMOPOLITAN ever...Took years of experimenting. Sharing the awesome recipe: A LOT of Titos Vodka, a little bit more than a splash of Cointreau, the juice of 1 Lime, a splash of OceanSpray 100%Cranberry juice and a tremendous amount of LOVE!! #titosvodka #oceanspray #cointreau #love #newyearseve #cosmopolitan
Have you been naughty or nice? Wishing you a beautiful holiday season filled with delicious food, colorful cocktails and joyful moments with your family! Times like these are great to REFLECT and CELEBRATE all the accomplishments we have made this year. Mine was trademarking my signature style poeticmodernism® . I encourage you to celebrate your biggest win. If you would like to share, please share below👇🏻 Happy holidays!
What once was a sunken living with columns separating spaces is now a cohesive dining space for huge parties. The coffered ceiling adds an architectural element that changes this space dramatically. See the phases, Next phase furniture.... #poeticmodernism® #interiordesign #cofferedceiling #architecture #molding #ceilingdesign Photo: @vcapturephotography
I remember this day so clearly... when I was a college student I took a term abroad to Florence Italy. It was there where I trained my architectural eye. I attribute this to one of my mentors, Professor Charles Steckler. ... it feels like yesterday. On the Ponte Vecchio bridge Prof Steckler found me sketching. He looked over my shoulder and decided to sit with me and teach me how to properly sketch perspective and see how lines converge. I learned that day every line I draw should have meaning ... I learned about beauty and how lines, and shapes have mathematical meaning. Our eyes seek balance, comfort and harmony even in tension. I was only a math major at that moment but I was exposed to so much more than just the architecture. I fell in love with the city and fell in love with the idea of merging mathematics with style and fashion ... back then I wasn’t sure how to articulate how I strived for the goosebump reaction....If I were to roll back the tape this was the start of my signature style #poeticmodernism®, modern with a pulse...spaces that engage all the senses... No wonder why I was called a romantic while applying to architecture school... I have finally embraced my authentic self.
Let’s get the #Hygge Jule party on! Sadly virtual but all of my Danish peeps are together via Zoom. We separately made our luncheon White Herring, Red Herring, Curry Herring, Grovlax, Frakdeller, liver pate, shrimp and lots of Aquvit and love #jule #danish #denmark🇩🇰
This brass and glass stair rail needed a bit of geometry. The opposing shapes create visual tension and beauty. For spaces I love playing with opposing forces and seeing how these kinds of elements captivate and affect your senses.

The day goes fast when you love what you do! #liveyourvibe #poeticmodernism® #livewellathome #sensory #transformation
With speckled good looks, terrazzo is a durable option for this spa-ish bathroom. This large scaled Terrazzo tile is made out of chips of marble, and stone. It’s texture alone is luxurious underfoot.

Gobble gobble...Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
