From Mark's Desk

The beginning of May brings so much hope and joy. I'm lucky to live in Southern California where the sun always shines, but I relish the opportunity to travel the country this time of year and enjoy the change of seasons. It's the feeling of renewal that you get when you smell the lilacs blooming in the Midwest or experience the buzz of Central Park on a warm day that I find so inspiring.

On my desk right now is the verdant scheme for a new project of ours outside of Chicago. In the entryway, dining room, and living room of the home, we've imparted the feeling of spring for our clients to enjoy all year round. The wallcoverings in these spaces really set the tone. We've customized an apple green chinoiserie wallcovering from de Gournay in the entry, wrapped the living room in a muted grasscloth by Phillip Jeffries, and chosen an iconic treillage pattern from Brunschwig & Fils for the dining room. Here's to spring and all that's to come!

THE POPPY COLLECTION

The Poppy Collection, named after my beloved French bulldog, celebrates timeless, all-American style. I'm honored to have the opportunity to reach the Anthropologie community and share my love of beauty.

MORE CLASSICS

More Classics, my new lighting collection, is a continuation of the first collection with Hudson Valley Lighting. It features recurring themes like painted shades and spherical forms infused with a British sensibility for a captivating second act.

Suzanne Tucker's interiors have long been an inspiration for me. It's no surprise her textiles are equally beautiful!

Chinoiserie design elements are a mainstay in my interiors. Handpainted wallcoverings from de Gournay are not only timeless but impactful in the best way.

BOB COLLINS & SONS

@bobcollinsandsons

I'm always on the hunt for a great chintz. "Carnival of Roses" from Bob Collins and Sons will be exquisite in the living room of our Chicago project.

I love the texture, scale, and color of Fermoie's textiles. As soon as they release something new, I'm eager to find a place for it in a project!
