What’s Inside
PART I — SOURCING
Where to source furniture at every price point — and what to leave behind
The lighting decisions most rooms get wrong, and how to get them right
Textile sourcing — bedding, pillow covers, throws, and what to look for before you buy
Wallpaper and wall treatments — luxury to mid-tier to peel-and-stick done right
Art and objects — how to collect, where to find them, how to know when something is right
Vintage and antique sourcing — online platforms, estate sales, and the one question to always ask
The considered detail — mirrors, bar styling, decanters, and scent
The outdoor room — materials, sources, and how to light it
PART II — DESIGN JUDGMENT
Trade secrets most homeowners never think to ask
The order of operations — what to buy first, and why sequence matters
The five questions to ask before buying anything
The things that instantly cheapen a room
Where to splurge, where to save — and the less obvious places to do both
The mistakes even well-intentioned homeowners make
Sourcing for island and remote homes — lead times, logistics, and what to never order without seeing first
The flexible room — how to design for the way a space actually gets used
