Curious for lifestyle and design tidbits, we asked Nate our quickfire questions.
- I usually wake up around… 8 a.m.
- When I get dressed in the morning I think… I’m definitely getting older and did [my husband] Jeremiah take that jacket?
- I’d never leave my home without… iPhone and my dog, Tucker.
- I couldn’t travel without… Jeremiah and, if I¹m being totally honest, on a long flight, something to help me sleep.
- My go-to travel snack is… yogurt.
- The last thing I googled was… vintage gold Rolex. I have a slight watch fixation.
- If my days had one extra hour… I would be at SoulCycle.
- The item of clothing I’m currently wearing most… A.P.C. jeans.
- My guilty pleasure is… noodle kugel. You can’t leave a pan in the same room with me during the holidays.
- I’m dying to splurge on… a beach house — maybe that qualifies as more than a splurge.
- My biggest home decor pet peeve is… those little clips on drapery rings.
- The most treasured home decor item I own is… too many to name…everything has a story.
- One thing you might not know about Oprah is… she’s always the funniest person at the table.
- The best advice I ever received was… “Vulnerability is the birthplace of creativity and connection.” It’s a quote from Brené Brown’s TED Talk.
- My favorite hostess gift ideas include… beach towels, linen napkins, a carefully assembled basket of Target items; things that everyone can use in multiples in their home.
- My beauty essentials are… Harry Josh’s mint green Pro hair dryer. I use Mario Badescu Drying Lotion at night and Dr. David Colbert’s Illumino Face Oil.
- If you looked at my desktop you’d see… on my virtual desktop (iPad), the Trulia app is always open. It’s like magazine reading for me.
- I recommend hiring an expert when… always hire experts!
- The biggest home decor mistake people make most often is… they buy things they don’t love just to cross them off their list.
- When I’m stressed I… can’t fall asleep and make my husband crazy.
- What keeps me excited about working in design is… it’s always evolving. A well designed room should be assembled and layered over time.
