Interior designer Tobe Morrow of Morrow & Co. recently completed a gorgeous home in Carpinteria, California, near Santa Barbara, for singer-actress Katharine McPhee and record producer and composer David Foster. The music power couple exclusively shared images of the coastal-chic interiors of their house with The Hollywood Reporter, with McPhee describing Morrow of “this fresh ray of sunshine.”
Morrow — who’s known for her take on California casual style and for her agility in mixing custom pieces with easily accessible items from vintage stores and sources like CB2 and Soho Home — shares some of her favorite places to shop for decor in Southern California as well as her online furnishings picks of the moment.
For David Foster and Katharine McPhee’s project, Morrow shopped at Big Daddy’s for items like outdoor planters. “It’s a giant warehouse in Culver City filled with amazing vintage furniture, art, architectural salvage and garden decor.” 3334 La Cienega Place, @bigdaddysantiques on Instagram
This decor brand is a “go-to because they have great quality for the price and are always on point with the trends,” says Morrow, who feels similarly about Soho Home and CB2. In the photo at the top of this story is the Carr coffee table ($998) and Sloman sectional (from $6,598). luluandgeorgia.com

Morrow loves Canteen Lifestyle & Design in Westlake Village, California because “they’re great to work with. They curate vintage pieces as well as art, large-format photography prints and incredible finds from barware and candlesticks to amazing candles.” 2900 Townsgate Road, canteenshoppe.com. Morrow is also a fan of Beautiful Mess Home & Garden in Agoura Hills and The Collective Shop in Woodland Hills.
