Whatโ€™s your favorite part of interior design?

I have a super organized mind and always had a desire to be super artistic without the actual ability (in art, painting etc). Interior design allows for an artistic expression but almost in an organizing collectors mentality. I truly love that interior design is welcoming to anyone who is willing to learn, I also love that there is very few ways to be wrong about interior design. Styles over decades have changed and some have withstood the test of time and it allows for a constant change and adjustment to continue to express the creative side of myself!

How many kids/family members do you have, and do they help you with DIY projects?

My husband is 100% my go to man to make my design dreams come true. We are constantly bouncing ideas off each other when it comes to DIY and often fighting over who gets to claim the good ideas. He also comes to my rescue whenever I donโ€™t do the greatest DIY job. I really could not do any of my projects without him. Our daughter is a little too young to fully participate in the projects but she loves to try. If I am under a sink installing sheโ€™s usually climbing on top or helping grab a paintbrush anytime she can. I am so excited for her to share this interest though and continuously want to participate with mom and dad!

Whatโ€™s your favorite part of working on a new project?

When working on a new project I love taking my time to determine all the pieces and parts and then envisioning how it will all come together. As you work on it and the pieces begin falling in place, it is the most successful feeling (well behind someone coming and pointing out how great it looks!)

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

To be honest, I love Steel Lighting Co. for all their lights and would have them anywhere but I really love their lights outdoors. When you look at traditional hardware companies or lighting companies many of their light fixtures are designed for indoors and the selection for outdoor lighting is extremely boring or dull. Steel Lighting Co. allows for this amazing statement to be made before even walking in the door. We chose the Manhattan to really make a big statement and great curb appeal!

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. ...

We canโ€™t stop staring at this setup. That deep blue artwork, the clean contrast of black and white, the warm wood and marbleโ€”it all just works. One of those kitchens that feels modern but still totally inviting. Weโ€™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 greeneryโ€”honestly, does it get better than this?

Thereโ€™s something instantly welcoming about this setupโ€”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 thereโ€™s nothing better than a quiet moment outsideโ€”cool shade, a warm breeze, and the glow of a classic barn light as the sun starts to set. Hereโ€™s to soft breezes, longer evenings, and the simple joy of winter turning into spring โ˜€๏ธ

Coffee tastes better with a view like this. โ˜• The warmth of the wood, the soft glow of those steel pendants, and that spacious island just waiting for good conversationโ€”it all comes together in the kind of kitchen that feels like home. Canโ€™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 thatโ€™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 usโ€”itโ€™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, itโ€™s time for community, strength, and supporting each other. Our hearts and prayers are with everyone affected. Stay strong, Los Angelesโ€”weโ€™re in this together.
