I love sneak peaks into celeb's homes, and this amazing NYC apartment of Mindy Kaling was no exception! The home is both playful and sophisticated, mixing bold bursts of color and quirky art with clean lines and a modern sense of minimalism. White walls, simple window treatments and a limited the number of pieces with character, add up to a perfect combo of classic style and personal warmth!

Trend Spotting: Vibrant Window Trim

Why should window trim always be white? It might be an unusual choice, but opting for a dark or colorful trim paint can add instant charm and character to a room. And also lend architectural detail to a bland space. I especially adore black or charcoal trim for a bit of drama, but this dreamy mint above is pretty gorgous as well! Here is a little inspo in case you are considering taking the plunge . . .

Singapore Design: A Lively + Ladylike Tween Retreat

This week I was working on a fun but sophisticated bedroom for a sweet 12 year old here in Singapore. I love doing spaces for kids and letting the playful energy show, but we also wanted to be sure it was a room she would still love in a few years. My advice is to keep the main pieces, like the bed frame, desk and light fixture in a fresh yet classic style and let the accessories add the cheer! I hope she loves it as much as I do!
