Liv Chic Furniture and Design

Feeling extra nostalgic as we get closer to the finish line on this new construction. Looking back at the past few homes we fully gutted, rebuilt, and poured our hearts into—each one a stepping stone to this moment.

Seven moves in six years 😅 but big dreams don’t come easy. They come with dust, demos, late nights, and a whole lot of faith.

So excited to finally see the finish line to our big move in, and then not move again for a long time! ☺️

“Taking it even further back to the very beginning!”

My first job ever: Schvitz, a little retail store in SoHo, NYC. What a journey it’s been. ✨

Not long after, I took a leap and started my own custom furniture business—importing full containers of handcrafted pieces from Jakarta… all before we even had iPhones! I was only 27, such a baby in so many ways, but I was fearless, full of huge dreams, and determined to build something real.

One of my biggest motivations has always been my family. In one of the old photos, you can see Madison, my oldest, just a toddler, right there on the job with me. Those early days were wild, chaotic, beautiful—and they shaped everything that came after.

Here’s to humble beginnings, brave chapters, and the long road that leads you exactly where you’re meant to be. 🤍✨

POV: Your client flies you to Atlanta to design his penthouse at the Waldorf Astoria and tells you to go out, enjoy a fabulous dinner, and “don’t be cheap” because it’s on him… but instead, you spend the night in your hotel room working until 1 a.m. with a side table full of Uber Eats— not out of obligation, but pure excitement!

Designing this incredible home has me completely energized — this is my version of a “night out,” and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. ✨

Dream project. Dream client. Dream job.

✨ That feeling when a new project hits just right — the ideas start flowing, the vibe matches your style, and you can’t wait to bring it to life. I’m in that zone right now, and I cannot wait to share these renderings with my clients!

Spent the weekend deep in the creative flow so I can head out of town Tuesday to kick off another exciting project. When the momentum’s rolling, you ride the wave 🌊💪

✨ There’s just something timeless about classic checkered stone tile. Those crisp squares instantly bring a sense of heritage and sophistication to a space—like a nod to old-world foyers and grand European halls.

But instead of the traditional black and white, we decided to take a warmer approach. Soft taupes and creamy off-whites replace the stark contrast, adding a richness and subtlety that feels both inviting and elevated. It’s the perfect balance of classic pattern and modern warmth.

It’s always so exciting to see a vision take shape—from an idea sketched on paper to the moment the last tile is set in place. Watching this space transform has been such a rewarding reminder that even the most iconic designs can be reimagined in ways that feel fresh and personal.

Next up, tongue and groove stained wood ceiling install and dark sage green cabinetry!

From renderings to reality — there’s nothing quite like seeing a vision come to life! This colorful dining room has been one of my favorite transformations to date. Every detail, from the bold wallpaper to the pink crystal chandeliers, turned out even better than imagined. We tweaked a few things along the way, not necessarily because we wanted to, but had to… like the original drapery fabric which when we went to order was discontinued 😭 However, the fabric we found turned out even more gorgeous in the space! (Swoon)✨
I still need to get professional photos taken, but I couldn’t wait to share a peek because I’m obsessed with how it all came together. Watching an idea evolve from a digital mood board into a real, livable space never gets old 💫

✨ Slightly obsessed (ok, fully obsessed) with how ChatGPT can take my mood boards + notes and turn them into full-on room renderings. It’s honestly the coolest design tool I didn’t know I needed. 🖤

Loving the traditional, cozy vibes in this bedroom — this is part of our ADU that we’ll be listing on Airbnb soon! Can’t wait for guests to stay in this dreamy little space.🌿🛏️

Still swooning over this little cabana bathroom refresh… 💙💚🤍

I just installed the most gorgeous blue, green, and white wallpaper, and I couldn’t love it more. Paired it with green paint on the trim, door, and even the ceiling for a full-on color drenched moment—and I’m obsessed.

People keep calling color drenching a trend, but to me it feels so classic and rooted in traditional design. There’s something timeless about fully committing to a color story—it makes a space feel intentional, cozy, and pulled together in the best way.

Wallpaper and color drenching are such a dreamy duo, and I’m here for it. Forever. 💚✨
