Peek around to learn how Donovan and his pup, Christmas, make the space their own little hideaway.
What are three words that describe your design philosophy at home?
What’s the oldest thing in your home?
The newest is my cool wavy-shaped console table.
I found the perfect spot for it under my large brass mirror.
And the oldest has to be a brass column/pedestal plant stand (it was a flea-market find!)
I’ve had for a few moves now.
Your bedroom looks so soothing!
Any tips for designing a space for a good night’s rest?
For a soothing, inviting space, I like to use soft colors and natural wood tones.
And of course, lots of pillows!
Did the way you use your home change at all during the pandemic?
Since the pandemic started, I have been working from home.
What are a few staples of your work-from-home setup?
For example, floor cushions for my coffee-table work sessions and a laptop tray for working in bed.
How do you decide when to bring a new plant into your space?
I like to change up my space and constantly move my plants around.
What noises can be heard in your home?
I like to brag that my home smells fantastic!
I have candles all over.
I lean toward crisp smells.
How does your home energize you?
How does it restore you?
My home is where I am most at peace.
What does the wordhomemean to you?
To me, the wordhomemeans safety and comfort.
My home is my happy place.
It’s a place that is totally mine.
