HIGH/LOW With Designer Kahi Lee

Sophistication for budgets big and small

I remember seeing the adorable Kahi Lee on HGTV’s Design on a Dime, but it wasn’t until I spotted the loft she designed for Nick Jonas in Dabble that I HAD to know more. The Jonas loft is chock full of elements I love most: drama, sheen, gold, black, fur, geometrics, and a little organic addition of antlers and rough wood thrown in for good measure. Yummy-licious.

What’s also really great about her? She provides a ton of budget-friendly D.I.Y. examples and before/afters on her website. And oh, how I love a good D.I.Y. and before/after.

Super cute AND talented? Can we be friends? ;o)

Until then, check out her website and be further inspired!

    Love that painted floor. It reminds me of the parker palm springs.
