    Living With Books
    Jul 8 2025
    Books aren’t just for reading—they’re for layering, styling, and storytelling within your space. In this episode of Boulevard Beat, Meghan and Krissa explore the power of books as a design element. From coffee table classics to vintage volumes stacked just so, we dive into how books bring warmth, texture, and personality into a room.

    We share tips on curating your collection, choosing the right scale and colors, and how to make books part of your interiors in meaningful (and stylish) ways. Whether you’re a maximalist or a minimalist, you’ll leave inspired to look at your bookshelves—and your design projects—a little differently.

    Street Style Takeaways :

    · Books Add Soul – Every room needs something personal. Books reflect your interests and give depth to your space. Don’t be afraid to show off your collection.

    · Stack with Intention – Vary horizontal and vertical stacks, and consider proportion. Tall, large books work great on the bottom for visual weight.

    · Spines Matter – Think about color, texture, and typography. A curated spine lineup can be as impactful as art.

    · Mix High & Low – Combine beautiful design books with thrifted finds, novels, or even kids’ books. It’s the mix that makes it feel lived-in and layered.

    · Think Beyond the Shelf – Books work on console tables, kitchen counters, nightstands—even the bathroom. They’re one of the most versatile styling tools out there.

  • Made in America with Lisa Davenport

    Made in America with Lisa Davenport
    Jul 1 2025
    As we head into the Fourth of July, we wanted to spotlight a designer whose work is as American as it is beautiful. Today on Boulevard Beat, we're joined by Lisa Davenport — the Founder and CEO of LDD Interiors and the creative mind behind her signature style she calls “Cashmere & Blue Jeans.”

    Lisa’s designs are rooted in comfort, craftsmanship, and character. With over 25 years of experience, she brings a passion for livable luxury and a deep commitment to sourcing locally made, American-crafted goods. From stunning homes to commercial spaces, Lisa seamlessly blends timeless design with hometown values — and she does it coast to coast, from her studios in Connecticut and Florida.

    She’s led High Point’s Made in America tour, spoken at the iconic A&D Building in New York, and her work has been featured in publications like Modern Farmhouse and Luxury Pools.

    Her mission? To build America’s Dream Home, one thoughtfully sourced piece at a time. If you love design with soul, and a little patriotic pride, this episode is for you.

    Street Style Takeaways:

    · Intentional Sourcing: Lisa emphasizes the importance of sourcing goods made in the USA—not just for quality, but to support artisans and communities.

    · Livable Luxury: Her design philosophy balances sophistication with warmth, making spaces that are both beautiful and comfortable.

    · Design with a Soul: Incorporating vintage elements and handcrafted pieces tells a richer, more personal story within a space.

    · Values-Driven Business: Lisa built her firm around principles of authenticity, local partnerships, and timelessness, proving that business can reflect personal values.

    · Craftsmanship Counts: Supporting American-made means honoring the makers behind the work—Lisa reminds us that design is as much about the people as the product.

  • What Makes Design Editorial

    What Makes Design Editorial
    Jun 24 2025
    In this episode of Boulevard Beat, Meghan sits down with Krissa Rossbund, senior editor at Traditional Home, to unpack the question: What makes design editorial? Together, they explore what goes into curating and publishing a feature-worthy project—from the editorial eye for detail to the emotional story behind the design.

    Krissa shares how she identifies spaces that resonate with readers, how trends are balanced with timeless aesthetics, and why a project's heart is just as important as its beauty. Meghan and Krissa also dive into the working relationship between designers and editors, and the unseen effort behind every published spread.

    Whether you're a designer dreaming of press, a design lover flipping through pages, or someone curious about the editorial process, this episode is a deep and delightful look at how great design finds its way to the printed page.


    Street Style Takeaways:

    · Story First, Style Second A beautiful room isn’t enough—editors are looking for meaningful stories that connect the design to the homeowner or designer’s vision.

    · Timeless Always Wins Trends come and go, but classic elements with a twist have staying power in editorial features.

    · Details Matter From floral arrangements to lighting choices, it's often the nuanced styling that elevates a space from great to publishable.

    · Designer-Editor Trust Is Key The best features come from collaboration—when designers trust editors to tell the story authentically and editors trust the creative process.

    · A Published Project is a Process Getting featured isn’t overnight—it takes planning, patience, and understanding the editorial calendar and audience.
