Now...



 

And Then. . . .





What makes me cringe when I look back:  

Wow, I cringe at pretty much all of it! We had some nice pieces that we got for our wedding or inherited but I over-accessorized way too much. My hand sewn window treatments and pillows crack me up and I just can't believe how cluttered it was! there was just way too much stuff and little knick knacks shoved on every inch of space. But even though I cringe when I see the pictures, I have wonderful memories of our first little apartment and love to be reminded of that time!

                            
 

What I love most about my home now:

I love that our home in Dubai (we just recently moved) was bright and fresh. I used white furniture against white walls to keep it really clean and used pops of color to bring it alive without going over the top with color (like I did in my first apartment!) It was unique but simple and sophisticated. 






The biggest influence on my evolving style has been:  

Experience & Exposure.  This was right after I had graduated so I was working in design but didn't have much experience yet. I have been able to work on so many great projects and get exposure to great design all over the world since then so I have grown in so many ways. I've learned that less is more!










Thank you, Caitlin!  Now, we may think you're human, afterall :)  To see more of her incredible work, visit her site here.
