As we type this on MV, we’re also reflecting on the countless memories we’ve made in the comfort of our village and greater Black & indigenous community here year after year. May the ancestors continue to smile on our expansive “magnitude & bond”. HAPPY THIRTEEN to us!🌹🌹🌹

We’ll be back on email and “in the office” the last week of August. See y’all soon!!

Last year, we designed a colorful and thoughtful playroom for our clients’ son. 12 months later and we’re still thinking about the way this retro checker wallpaper provided a *wild* contrast to the airy, earthy blues + jungle-themed decals. His parents wanted him to feel comfortable and also, called to PLAY, DREAM and CREATE, hence the worktable and tree-shaped bookcase (not pictured here). One of our favorite parts is the gallery wall of vintage art (first slide) we installed on the checker wallpaper. All of those works belonged to our clients + their grandparents, establishing a really beautiful intergenerational anchor for the space — like they had always been there.

A barbershop scene, Ernie Barnes’ “Head Over Heels”, mid-century watercolor leopards and block-printed royal blue cockatoos. Just goes to show how intentional nods to the past can really ground a space + encourage wild imagination — ESPECIALLY for our little Black boys. 🖤

Hope y’all love this one.
