A favorite collaboration from our Westport Project was the sweet and slightly strange Powder Room.

Years ago we were on a family trip to Block Island and I laughed out loud when I saw cocktail napkins emblazoned with the Jerry Seinfeld quote “there is no such thing as fun for the whole family”. I have thought about that quote on each family trip there after - usually after innocently suggesting that we do something seemingly harmless such as taking a family hike or visit to (you can fill in the blank here) a church, garden or museum, only to be met with a chorus of audible sighs or outright protests. The only thing Mancinis seem to do perfectly together is “beach”. That is, until we spent spring break in Morocco.
Morocco stopped me dead in my tracks at least a hundred times and my family felt the same. The kindness, the history, the colors, the sunsets, the tiles, the textiles, the rooftops, THE DOORS, and the local animals greeting us everywhere we went. We took classes, a walking tour and even hiked without complaint! My family indulged me in rug shopping, pottery perusing and textile obsessing. It was a dream, truly, and one that will continue to feed our work and my family’s memories for a very long time.

Together we have traveled, have had the great fortune to design countless homes for so many wonderful clients, we’ve grown our dream team, grown our families, fine-tuned a process, and now a have a light-filled design studio in the sky.

We are so excited that a new chapter of our firm begins now as we formalize our 15 years of collaboration.

Bella Mancini Design is now Mancini Burns Design.

Kicking off the new year, I’m very excited to share some big news about the future of our studio.

After 25 years as Bella Mancini Design, we’re stepping into a new chapter.

Beginning today, our firm will become Mancini Burns Design — a name that reflects the partnership between Taryn Burns, who has been an essential part of our story for 15 years, and me.

Taryn’s talent, integrity, and leadership have been central to our success. I’m happy to have formalized what has long been true in spirit — that Taryn is an invaluable partner in every sense. This new name marks a fresh evolution for the business and an even stronger foundation for the future.

Whether you are a collaborator, design enthusiast, or client, thank you for your support.
