Philly Designers to Follow

 Instagram is full of designers to follow, both nationwide celebrities and local resources. But you might not be aware how chock-full the greater Philadelphia area is with amazing designers. 

Here are a few of my favorites to add to your scrolling pleasure! 


Michelle Gage Interiors 


No stranger to color and pattern, she's an inspiration for mixing and matching! If you are feeling like a quick, colorful pick-me-up, she's your girl

Lisa Furey Interiors 

A high-end designer who works all over but bases many of her projects out of Philly, she somehow manages to make the light and airy beach/farmhouse look grounded and upscale

A relative new-comer but a great, accessible and local resource for full service or small-project designs!

Technically a bit more all over the East Coast, they are based in Philly and Baltimore, they are a gorgeous pairing of eclectic and trim/organized design, often with an earthy element.

Yes, they are mostly a kitchen design-build company, but they do amazing work and have a creative eye!

I've been following Naomi Stein for almost a decade and she's always been original in her designs. While she's fond of color and pattern, she can easily move to neutral and traditional designs. But whatever she does, its full of unique design!

The original traditional yet casual farmhouse look, High Street Market is an old staple that never gets old. Plus they have a fantastic little interiors store based out of North Wales!

A personal favorite of mine - a Philly designer who mixes traditional and modern beautifully in everything she does!

Its hard to put this man in a category - designer, chef, studio owner, party-hoster, writer... Before moving to Philly's Main Line he styled for design mags like House Beautiful (which he still does) but when he found a fixer estate house in Philly, he moved everything here, including starting Maximalist Studios. Its an entertaining following whatever you are into!

Breaking Down the Commission Headlines and the NAR Settlement

The news right now around real estate is ripe with "The 6% Commission is Dead" or how buying and selling real estate is about to become a whole lot cheaper.  Sounds tantalizing, right? Because often news is sensationalism and this one is no different.  Did something actually change?  Yes, a little.  NAR (the National Association of Realtors - the trade organization that makes a real estate agent a 'Realtor' by a separate code of ethics and educational criteria) settled a case that brought about a few, minor changes.  1. It eliminated any requirement that listing brokers or sellers must make offers of compensation to buyers brokers.  2. It prohibits sellers and their agents from making offers of compensation on the MLS and disclosing any compensation and requires the elimination of all compensation fields on the MLS.  3. It requires MLS members working with buyers to enter into written agreements with those buyers.  So what changed?  Not much....

Neighborhood Spot Light: Media

In the covid and  post-covid (are we finally post??) era of suburban boom, many people are finding they are having to settle for less. Less house, less yard, not their ideal school district or commute, less walkability, etc. But one area in the Western Suburbs that seems like a gem for continuing to be affordable (in comparison to the Main Line), walkable, charming and accessible is Media Borough and its surrounding neighborhoods (Rose Valley, Wallingford, and nearby Swarthmore).  Image courtesy of Riddle Village Media is another Victorian, suburban hub, among many around greater Philly. A walkable downtown with mid-19th century architecture and a wide variety of restaurants, bars and stores makes it a charming locale. Its one of the few non-Main Line hubs, though, that has several direct rail lines in the city, though, making this a wonderful spot for urban commuters.  Its main street (State St) is home to an accessible Trader Joes, several local brewery chains like Bric...
