It's wonderful to be able to share one's home as a bit of inspiration out to the world, which is why I was stoked when Apartment Therapy reached out to do a house tour.

My Style: Bedouin wanderer meets rooted gardener
Inspiration: Mother nature.
Favorite Element: Converting my closet to a kitchen grow garden. Now I get to eat fresh veggies, herbs and greens right out of my bedroom!
Biggest Challenge: Keeping all my plants happyβit's the biggest challenge and the greatest reward.
What Friends Say: "It's like a forest!"
Biggest Embarrassment: The plumbing. Whomever did the plumbing before me connected the sink, the washer and the shower together. It can be a bit of a pain if there is a clog.
Proudest DIY: The Mason Jar Plant Garden that I did with my dad. It was the first thing we built together in my home.
Biggest Indulgence: I have a monthly plant allowance. It's seriously an obsession.
Best Advice: Make such a loving and inviting home so that your guests wish to never leave.
Dream Sources: All the local vintage furniture shops, Restoration Hardware, Anthropologie, Trnk-Nyc.com.
