Almost daily, someone asks if my name is Josephine. It is not. But the name holds precious meaning for my family. It connects my childhood in a small southern town, my husband's childhood on his family farm in England, our son's birth country of Haiti, and our life raising four kids on the West Coast.

My small-town upbringing unexpectedly shaped my love for a traveled aesthetic. Even though my family lived in a rural area, my mother explored her passion for decorating and her love of travel. Her pursuit of both deeply influenced me. My visceral love of caned furniture, classic white brick houses with black shutters, and textiles from around the world began on Highway 67 West. I'm grateful to my mom for expanding our world and giving us an appreciation for design and other cultures.

Over the years, I remodeled and decorated our homes (and a bakery in L.A.) while raising our children and working in the entertainment business. I developed a passion for decorating/remodeling, and have spent countless hours obsessively sourcing fabrics, paint colors, textiles, wallpaper, furniture, hardware, lamps, rugs, art, and more. I’m grateful to have learned from talented interior designers, builders, and tradespeople willing to share their professional knowledge, and found great joy watching spaces transform. 

I've been lucky to forge partnerships and lasting friendships with creative and talented people who share my passion and make up our team. We are grateful for your trust and support, and are so pleased be able to share our love of decorating through our retail and studio services.
