Hello from Las Vegas! Last month, Susana, Tara, and I had the incredible opportunity to attend the 2025 Las Vegas Market, where we soaked in fresh design inspiration, connected with amazing people, and revisited a favorite city!

Here are a few of my key takeaways:


Trends That Inspired Me


There were so many fun trends around the market, with each vendor offering their own unique style. From dark, moody velvet designs to bright blondes and contemporary pieces, there was something for everyone. One trend that stood out to me (and that I’m obsessed with) is the resurgence of old-world charm. Mixing old, ornate shapes with fresh, modern materials is such an interesting way to breathe old traditions into contemporary designs! Keep an eye out for lots of fringe, ruffles, skirts, and flower patterns this year.

My Favorite Piece


There was one piece in particular that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about. As I walked around the showroom floors, I stumbled across a bed from Global Views that took my breath away. The bed featured an old-world wood frame and beautiful black cane detailing with a combination of other natural colors. I’m currently working on the design for a rustic farmhouse, and this bed lit a spark of inspiration that I needed!

Vendor Friends


One of the best parts about traveling is connecting with new people. I rediscovered Studio A Home and fell in love with their brand all over again. We'll be using them for a lot of our accessories and lamps this year! We also discovered a new favorite, Empire Art Direct, and were immediately obsessed with their beautiful tables and stunning rugs at affordable prices. An old favorite of ours, Modway, did not disappoint! I was thrilled to introduce Susana and Tara to Moshe, a favorite brand representative of mine. Lastly, we visited Dovetail, another incredible design brand, to gather beautiful inspiration for our home staging and design services!

Growing With The Team


This trip was such a valuable reminder of the importance of always striving for excellence and keeping a sharp eye on emerging trends so that we can set our own. It gave me the reset I needed and a renewed appreciation for the design trends we’re bringing into our home staging, design, and event services! Most importantly, though, it reinforced that the real value lies in sharing these experiences with my team. Exchanging ideas, exploring new perspectives, and growing together is what truly elevates our work. And of course, talking over some incredible meals, enjoying views of the Bellagio Fountain, and exploring the Vegas Strip wasn’t too bad either!
