I don’t know who needs this, but I accidentally found the most functional material storage setup for design projects.
I’ve tried trays, clear folders, open bins… and nothing has held up or stayed organized like this combo. It’s durable, flexible, and easy to grab for site visits or installs.
Not sponsored. Not selling anything. Just sharing something that’s actually working for me.
If you handle samples or materials daily, this might save you some frustration.

Kicking off 2026 with a little site visit sneak peek 🤍
The Jamesport project is officially underway, and I’m so excited to be collaborating with @prdgarchdesign on the interiors of this beautifully designed new home.
When the architect, interior designer, and client are fully aligned, the process becomes something really special. So excited to share more as this project unfolds.

Coming soon… Meadow House | Study
The project that quietly marked the start of Erin Mercadante Interiors—and helped bring a long-held dream to life.
I can’t wait to bring you inside over the next couple of weeks.

hike views | color cues
I've been snapping photos of what catches my eye on the trail and pulling out color palettes. It’s a new ritual that makes my hikes more mindful and gives me endless color + texture inspiration.

Design is always about the mix: a little modern, a little vintage, and a lot of soul.

Had such a fun time meeting some local makers at the Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Crafts Fair. It was a beautiful day with equally beautiful pieces and people! Credit in order:

Drawing has always been the clearest way for me to share what’s in my head. The nuances are where the magic happens.

Captivated by Carlo Mollino this morning.

Our first apartment had a kitchen stuck in the past - and our budget couldn’t catch up. Instead of a full reno, we gave it a facelift: painted the cabinets and floor, added new appliances, and reworked the layout. A few simple changes transformed it into a room we loved - and where we spent so much of our lives.
What space in your home would you love to reimagine?

My morning walk had a hint of cool air, reminding me that summer is slowly giving way to fall. These moments between seasons inspire rich palettes, textures, and spaces that feel just as timeless. 🌾☀️

Angela Brown @angelabrownltd hands down curates the best brands. One of my favorites is NB Milano with their carefully crafted caste bronze hardware. These poetic little sculptures feel substantial and so comfortable in your hand.

The past couple months have been nuts so I’m finally getting around to sharing some highlights from @mansioninmay. The bathroom by @hco_interiors made me rethink everything I thought I knew about shower curtains.. and I have a soft spot for wood floors in the bathroom - total stunner 💙 The pantry by @rw_kitchens had so many well thought out details I’m still discovering. Head over to their profile to see more images.

Dreaming up some vintage inspired sunroom boards today. There’s something about an indoor/outdoor space that welcomes a more playful, eclectic vibe. DM for details.

These stairs are stuck in my head today… Fondazione Querini Stampalia. Renovated by Carlo Scarpa with intuitive and poetic elements that just make sense. The stone levels welcome the changing tides of the canal; leaving marks of time and place. Ah, bucket list!

Deco doesn’t usually do it for me, but I’m digging the details of the New Palace. The layers of disparate influences are key. Seen in @kinfolk
