About
Join me, Sean Cowan, as I pull back the curtain on the process of successful interior design and decoration. This blog focuses on the transformation of personal style from a pre-war rental to a newly purchased, new-construction condo (A.K.A. “The White Box”). Be a part of the process, from the initial plans to the end result. I reveal my thought process and inspiration for each design decision, and offer helpful tips you can apply to your own projects.
Sophisticated, quality spaces are not created within a 30 minute TV episode. Good design takes time, inspiration, money, and countless difficult decisions. I want to share with you the challenges of being my own client, and the steps I take to create a fabulous and functional home for myself, my partner, and my two chihuahuas. Oh, and I’m exploring an entirely new personal style!
All my best,
Sean Cowan, Owner

Eric and Sean,
Thanks for the connect and look forward to the blog reveal. I’ve been an unknown fan ever since I purchased the few items that were left from your fantastic sale, post CHG article. Many regrets on my timing. Love your writing and design style.

Thank you so much, Kelly, for your kind words!
Sean, First of all, congratulations on your new place!! Love the blog! As always, a huge fan! We look forward to seeing the transformation! Brent (Century) & Tom (David Sutherland)
I’m so honored that you’re following my blog! I sincerely appreciate the support from such fine gentlemen! Hope to see you soon.
I absolutely love your blog and am always excited to read the next one! After seeing your design and esthetic I came across this table that I thought would look absolutely FABULOUS with your “Sexy-esque” look. Let me know if you would be interested in taking a look at it- I have a few pictures
I’d love to see anything you have that could be called sexy-esque! Send the photos my way. Perhaps for me…perhaps for a client. Thanks for your kind comment!
Absolutely- is there an email I can send the photos to? I can’t seem to figure out how to add them to here. Thanks!
