My most personal addition to this collection has got to be the Kiln Dinnerware Set — prototyped by yours truly in my very own ceramic studio (basement!) I by no means am a “true” ceramicist but I love to play on the wheel and with different glazes and forms. I basically hacked the system by convincing @crateandbarrel let me produce these pieces at scale in Portugal! For months I sat at the wheel and created version after version until I got it just right (perfectly wonky — just the way I like it) and then I would carefully pack that little prototype up and ship it off to the @crateandbarrel headquarters and they would take it from there.

At home with my Mello Chairs! I was so excited about getting these into my own home I went out on a limb and asked the team at @crateandbarrel to send the second round samples straight to my house — since these chairs are a bit… different than your average chair… I wanted to see how they actually live in a space! So I have been living with these for about 6 or so months now and I love them even more now! A chair and half perfect for zoom calls, family book reading and dog cuddling. I have two facing each other for the coziest of conversations. If we ever have the good fortune of chatting on @theexpert or anything like that — there is a real good chance this is where you’ll find me!
And yes — I can put my shoes on my own furniture if I want to! If Mr. Ivory Brown can then so can I! Slipcovers, baby!

I have always said that inspiration can come from everywhere and from anything, but my favorite and FOREVER inspiration has always been the summer camp I grew up going to—and still visit today! Deer Valley YMCA Family Camp, outside of Pittsburgh and right by Fallingwater, has been an inspiration since youth and this home I created back in LA is such a product of all that inspiration. The camp was first built in the fifties and the midcentury touches that remain have been a big inspiration to my aesthetic. Think Quonset huts and all! Forest bathing, turning off the phone, turning off the computer, and sitting by a lake for a week with no Wi-Fi. Swipe to see some snaps from the musical festival @deervalleyfolkfest that we put on last summer at the YMCA. If you look closely you can see how all the same elements that make the camp what it is found there way into this home!

“She knows there’s no success like failure” — Bob Dylan
The first time I heard it — that lyric flew out of the song to me like a kiss and a firecracker in one. I Grabbed my pencil and wrote it down immediately. I’ve been writing it down ever since. There’s a common theme to everything I love, everything I appreciate, everything I create, and everyone I respect — the acceptance and the embrace of failure. With messy open arms! If there’s no failure, there’s no progress. People look at my career and think it’s lightly floated up up and away just as planned on a perfect little elevator. The truth is, it’s been mostly failures with a few big wins in between. Truly. failures are behind the spotlight (or not),pushing you right toward the successes. It’s the whole stumbling forward thing. And, boy oh boy, have I stumbled. But The adventure of what’s on the other side has always been so worth it.Some things work and some things don’t. And that’s okay by me! I’m happy to weed them out. Happy to cross them off the to-do list, if you will.

I feel so lucky to have a home filled with BOTH my favorite vintage pieces and my very own designs that I was also lucky enough to get to design with @crateandbarrel, which for the record I am proud to say hold their own quite nicely. For the past 5 years these pieces have slowly been filling our home piece by piece, collection by collection, all just layering in next to each other living a happy life right next to one another — making our home their forever home.
5 years later I can say that these pieces have become a part of my family’s story and the fabric of our memories together. And as weird as it sounds I can’t wait to grow old alongside these designs. Hopefully, we will all just keep getting better with age!

Meet the “Mello”… as in mellow out… with a dash of marshmallow. I’ve been lucky enough to have lived with these in my own home for about 6 months and I can truly confirm these are the good life!
When designing these pieces it was my mission to create the coziest chair I could. Inspired by my love of a duvet cover and of course everyone’s favorite puffer jackets I started tearing out images from my favorite magazines of oversized, over filled puffer jackets and pinning them to my mood board. After I gathered all my inspo imagery I stepped back and snapped a photo with my phone and sent it over to the design team at @crateandbarrel (swipe to see my original inspo photo). I asked them if they thought they could figure out a quilted SLIPCOVER. (‘Cause you know we like to clean stuff…)
It’s on a swivel. ✔️ oversized for curling up in ✔️ and has extra wide arm rests for your morning coffee or laptop to sit on ✔️— Face it, not all of us working from home are sitting at a desk and this is my favorite, most stylish, and certainly most comfortable work station ever!

The ever incredible Crate shoot team, led by @philreinecker, was kind enough to let us play and push “it” a bit in one of the most magical homes I’ve ever had the joy to be running around in for a few days… the Schindler House. The simplicity of the Schindler House is honestly enviable. I walk into a structure like this and start dreaming of my life as a minimalist. (Not gonna happen.) But when you see the beauty of the structure, it gets and your mind going. So much so that I wanted to do a little write up for @feelfree and did my research! Turns out — the Schindler House was completed in 1922, at the heart of a time when simplicity in design was not quite the name of the game.While others were building Gatsby-style mansions, Rudolph and Pauline Schindler were working on something that would change the name of Modern Design in America. In fact, some would say start it. The small four-room, single-story structure of mostly glass, concrete, and redwood was built with the idea of commune living in mind. The couple stayed there (though not always a couple somehow… plot twist) until their deaths, his in the 1950s and hers in the 1970s. The crazy thing about it is, it went pretty much unappreciated, and truthfully could have easily been torn down in the 1970s if their family hadn’t passed up a payday to save the house for us to enjoy now. Even the looming apartment buildings surrounding this little home can’t kill your architectural buzz when you are inside. This house felt part Japanese, part Wyoming, part Frank Lloyd Wright, part Axel Vervoordt. I.E.: SIGN ME UP! Even if I had to live with roomies again… Promise I’ll try to do the dishes more often! (But only if they’re made by @crateandbarrel!)

Meet the new Gig Sofa! An ode to rock n roll?! Yes. But the real reason it’s the gig is it’s named after Ever’s “Uncle Gig”— this is my take on a classic chesterfield sofa. As a lover of all things vintage I often think about how I can’t wait to run into one of the pieces I have designed in a vintage store one day but this piece in particular I would just love to see in 100 years — perfectly worn in from some serious love in one of your homes! There is no doubt in my mind that this sofa will only get better with time.
@crateandbarrel and I worked really hard to source this beautiful sun bleached leather for a fresh more modern take on a very traditional silhouette. We also took a lot of care to make sure that the back was just as beautiful as the front because these pieces were made to float in a room and look good from all angles. Highly recommend pairing it with a martini and a record player.
