I’ve got quite the design crush these days on Hamptons interior designer Tom Samet and his classic, East Coast style, thanks to his enviable Instagram account – he does updated traditional so well through the use of color, pattern and texture (not to mention a healthy dose of Chinese Lattice wall covering) and beautiful layering.  Every picture…

The other night I stumbled upon the website of San Francisco-based interior designer Will Wick and I immediately DEVOURED his entire portfolio from top to bottom!

I’ll take a smaller, comfy, cozy cottage by the sea over a ginormous McMansion in the city any day of the week…but, what if you had both?  So is the case with Brooke, one of Jeffrey Alan Marks’ clients who appeared in a few episodes in season 2 of Million Dollar Decorators.  We caught glimpses…
