Poppyfields 2.0: after a few weeks of finalizing the interior floor plans on our Altadena rebuild, I took our clients to walkyourplansla to walk through the life-sized drawings. I’ve noticed that all of our clients have trouble visualizing how new floor plans will work, but especially on a new build where the structure doesn’t exist yet, I love being able to offer this new service.  This plus our 3d renders and in-person sample presentations all help our clients make decisions more easily and keep our projects moving. 2025-09-04 19:31:00 Poppyfields 2.0: afte.. 102 +27% 14 +22%
It has taken me YEARS and $$$$$ of trying things to create this cocktail for my house. I wish there were more options out there for people like me who care about the scent experience in their homes.  None of these are what I would call “affordable” but they are my favorites and I use them daily and without fail people will ask what smells so good in my house (besides whatever gpersad is cooking). 2025-08-31 00:45:17 It has taken me YEARS.. 115 +43% 22 +92%

ODE TO WALLPAPER: I truly do love it and use it in so many of our sagradastudio projects but you should know that I don’t have a single roll of wallpaper anywhere in my own home. There just isn’t one that I love enough to commit to for a while, which probably means it’s time to design my own.  I have ideas 💡 2025-08-23 04:53:38 ODE TO WALLPAPER.. 113 +40% 8 -30%

NEW PROJECT 🚨: Rebuilding Poppyfields ❤️ Four years ago, Tiff and Dave were some of the first clients to hire me who I didn’t actually know personally.  sagradastudio didn’t even exist yet! I was still finding my voice as a designer and they had just closed on a beautiful old Tudor in Altadena that they wanted to make into a home for their family of 4.  I have no idea why they trusted me with this project, but we had so much fun together and so many laughs.  Their daughter Tessa helped me put all those constellation stickers into the little reading nook, and it was my first time designing so much custom millwork. Dave got his Eames chair.  Tiff and I picked out the rust sofa together for her office.  We discovered the artwork of jasondemeo and got two pieces for the living room.  Sadly, the house did not survive the Eaton fire, but they are trusting me again to help them rebuild what I am hoping will be the most beautiful modern Spanish home on the block.  It is my privilege to be a part of their new chapter and help them get back home.

Most days we all open our phones to a fresh set of dumpster-fire headlines and clickbait, problems and stress.  But some days I get messages like these that keep me going and remind me I’m on the right path. ❤️ Our brains like to focus on the negative so this is your reminder to save all your positive messages somewhere so you can revisit them on hard days. Also, tell someone something good about themselves today. It goes a long way for you and them. 2025-08-06 21:52:11 Most days we all op.. 0 -100% 17 +49%
Going to attempt my first zero-contact vacation since I started sagradastudio in 2022.  Working on vacation is not a badge of honor, it’s a waste of money.  Also, I need inspiration.  So…bye ✌️ #OOO 2025-08-02 21:55:39 Going to attempt .. 0 -100% 10 -13%
I don’t care what the budget is, high or low, I genuinely love a plug-in sconce!  There are just some spaces where clients don’t want to commit to the hardwire and a traditional lamp isn’t right.  There are so many good options out there now, so when dominomag asked me to tell them about an all-time favorite decorating item of mine, this had to be it.  Link in stories for the full article and more options I’ve used lately.

Bookmark this post if you’re looking for a vibey restaurant with good food in L.A. Here’s where I’ve been lately that I’d recommend: 
1-3: centorawbar lives up to the hype in terms of ambience, food, and the wine list. 
4-6: the new sogorollbar in Highland Park is pretty and rolls are simple and great. 
7-8: loreto_frogtown has a CDMX inspired menu that I loved and is beautiful inside. 2025-07-25 21:14:29 Bookmark this pos.. 0 -100% 9 -21%

I love visiting artist’s studios, and this month for our sagradastudio team outing we got to hang with the incredibly talented samklemick and take a peek around lawoodshop (IYKYK). Sam and I have apparently been checking each other out for a while and it was so inspiring to hear her story…she too, used to work in fashion and ALSO has a Miami connection like me.  Her pieces in person are actual works of art, except there’s a heft and sturdiness to them so you aren’t afraid to actually use them.  She knows how to make an heirloom. Swipe through for some studio scenes (where we also spotted my buddy lastditchdesign, another incredible designer of heirloom-level pieces). Being part of the LA design community is amazing. There’s so much talent here ❤️ 2025-07-18 20:08:13 I love visi.. 110 +37% 9 -21%
Little joys lately that were free or barely cost anything, because the economy is in shambles and spending a lot feels irresponsible, but I still like nice things and experiences. My favorite bougie ice cream, watching my kids swim in my mom’s pool, a walk by the water with my husband, and family time at Top Golf.  And time at the beach.  Wine.  Also, luxury bath and home products, because all you need is one good-smelling thing and it improves your day, every day, for like weeks and sometimes months.  Oh and after strolling the book store I decided to re-read the Surrender Experiment because it always resets my perspective.  Also I happen to love fireworks, so I went to watch them on 4th of July. That’s it. Small things. 2025-07-13 23:23:43 Little joys lately th.. 0 -100% 8 -30%

I’ve tried coworking and it’s just not my thing.  I think it feels too much like being in the law school library again which is obvs traumatizing. 

The design of our L.A. studio was an experiment in how many ways we could use birch plywood, breeze blocks, butcher block and other affordable materials to create a functional, warm and on-brand workspace for our team.  I gave the overall brief, and emthomsen_ smritipoudell made the design happen so it really was a sagradastudio team collaboration just like everything else we do.

So much overthinking about limewash out there! Just do it. Stop overthinking.  It’s going to come out great.  And if it doesn’t, just fix it. Paint over it.  Do another coat.  If it looks dated in two years, it’s fine. Get rid of it. You have nothing to lose.  It will all be fine. 💕

Scenes from a lovely night with old and new friends to welcome littlegreenepaintcompany to L.A. at the eichholtzlosangeles showroom.  Special s/o to roxiestories for curating a DIVERSE group of interesting people from all backgrounds and perspectives.  It was so nice to celebrate and learn about this heritage brand in a room of people who didn’t all look and sound the same (which is often the case with a lot of design industry events, unfortunately).

Meta memories reminded me that exactly a year ago I was vacationing at the carnerosresort in Napa, a place I love and try to visit annually.  Many years ago when I was a very young attorney and hadn’t been to Napa yet, a client told me that if I ever did go, the Carneros was the best place to stay, period.  After a few trips and a few different hotel experiences there, I think I have to agree.  Not sponsored, just the truth as you plan your summer getaways. 2025-06-18 21:10:13 Meta memories reminded .. 154 +91% 14 +22%

If you believe that objects carry and absorb energy (I do) then these chairs I put in jayshetty podcast studio belong in the Smithsonian or something because of all the powerful energy they carry after 3+ years of iconic and wildly successful people sitting in them.  The entire design was highly intentional but the chairs especially had to be right.  Scroll to the end for the day I found them and texted them to Jay and we knew they were *the ones.* 2025-06-12 20:37:36 If you believe that objec.. 127 +58% 18 +57%
