What got you into Interior design?

I remember as a child spending hours going through design magazines and catalogs. In college I made my own bedroom set and continuously refinished furniture pieces over the years. I then got requests for custom refinish from all around the San Francisco Bay Area. It is then that I decided to start my own business here in Northern California refinishing furniture: Vine Hill Vintage!

Old-fashioned Farmhouse or Modern Layout, why?

Both! I bought a dated Farmhouse on country property. It is old and outdated. My plan is to fix it up Modern Farmhouse Style! I love the classic look of a true farmhouse with modern, clean lines. If styles marry well, there’s no need to stick to just one style!

Your favorite part of working on a new project?

I love the whole process! My FAVORITE part is the initial concept, how it looks in my mind. I visualize: style, placement, texture, color, overall aesthetic, how it makes you feel. The creativity and magic of a completed piece comes from that initial visualization.

Do you prefer using Steel Lighting Co. for interior or exterior lighting and why?

Steel Lighting can be used for interior or exterior placement. I used The Venice fixture with the 16” gooseneck. It’s difficult for some clients to visualize. Staging to show the lighting interior/exterior versatility is key.

That’s the beauty of Steel Lighting Co.’s ordering concept. The customer or designer can pick and choose a specific light fixture size, arm, color, and design! Definite game changer and nothing short of brilliant!

My wife and I only ever had one buyer in mind: the person putting our products in their home. We aimed to sell American-made, high-quality lighting, and we keep our prices fair because we're not interested in helping middlemen make a markup; we're interested in providing for good, honest folk. Just like you. ...

Introducing one of our new lights, the Colfax! This fixture has a 12-inch dome and showcases a vintage barn light aesthetic paired with a sleek, traditional design. We're super excited to be introducing several new fixtures over the next few months 🙂

We can’t stop staring at this setup. That deep blue artwork, the clean contrast of black and white, the warm wood and marble—it all just works. One of those kitchens that feels modern but still totally inviting. We’re big fans of this one!

I'm still obsessed with @stacey.athome's kitchen design. Matte black and white, warm wood tones, and just the right touch of greenery—honestly, does it get better than this?

There’s something instantly welcoming about this setup—the blue door pulls you in, the Game Room sign adds the perfect contrast, and the compact Hawthorne sconce subtly lights the way. This is the kind of entry that promises cozy nights and a stack of well-loved board games waiting just inside!

If folding laundry has to happen, this is the room to do it in. From the brick herringbone floors to that crisp white shiplap, every detail in this space feels intentional. And overhead? The Malibu keeping things bright without stealing the show.

The kind of spot that makes you slow down and soak it all in. Warmer days are rolling in, and there’s nothing better than a quiet moment outside—cool shade, a warm breeze, and the glow of a classic barn light as the sun starts to set. Here’s to soft breezes, longer evenings, and the simple joy of winter turning into spring ☀️

Coffee tastes better with a view like this. ☕ The warmth of the wood, the soft glow of those steel pendants, and that spacious island just waiting for good conversation—it all comes together in the kind of kitchen that feels like home. Can’t you just picture slow mornings here, watching the water while breakfast sizzles on the stove?

Farmhouse charm with a modern twist! From the bold contrast of black and white to the warm wood tones, this kitchen is very inviting. The Melrose pendant lights are the perfect finishing touch for a space that’s as stylish as it is functional. Who else is loving this cozy-meets-contemporary vibe?

Los Angeles has always been more than just a city to us—it’s home. Having grown up in LA, every corner holds a memory, and when Rachel and I started Steel Lighting Co., we wanted to celebrate that by naming our fixtures after places in LA that shaped our lives.

Watching the wildfires impact this beautiful place and the people we care about is deeply heartbreaking. Though we are thankful to be safe, many of our friends, family, and neighbors are feeling the tremendous weight of this tragedy.

Now more than ever, it’s time for community, strength, and supporting each other. Our hearts and prayers are with everyone affected. Stay strong, Los Angeles—we’re in this together.
