RANDOM, UNGLAMOROUS THINGS FOR THE HOME I’M LOVING LATELY

Taking a little break from all things design and decor to share some finds for the home that are far from glamorous but are worth their weight in gold when it comes to making life easier and thus, prettier! Here are a few things that make the top of the list lately: I finally bit…

LOVING LATELY

It’s going up to 90 degrees today, so naturally, my mind is on all the summer things. I’m not quite ready for it to be this warm, but since I’m knee-deep in pollen and 98% humidity, I’m thinking of all the burl wood, polished nickel, lots of texture and a fresh pop of greenery. I…

NEUTRAL DECOR PICKS

The change in seasons always brings about a burst of color, which is always a welcome change from the doldrums of winter, but for me, crisp whites and lots of texture will always reign supreme when ushering in warmer weather and longer days. Rattan, bamboo, polished nickel and ironstone are fresh and classic and go…

A FEW THINGS I’M LOVING LATELY

Coming off of another weekend of glorious weather; it’s been so amazing to be outside in the fresh air before the temps skyrocket. I managed to get some seeds for summer annuals in pots over the weekend with my little miss! We’re sticking with our favorites – cosmos, zinnias and globe amaranth. We love to…

INSPIRED: BLOOMS IN BASKETS

When it comes to planting, I almost always pick simple terra cotta pots that will age and weather beautifully, or dark gray, zinc-inspired options that give all the East Coast summer vibes. Lately, though, blooms planted in wicker baskets have been floating through my feed constantly and I couldn’t be more inspired. If you follow…

GARDEN GOODIES

With all the gorgeous weather we’ve been having lately, we’ve been busy getting our yard and gardens ready for the season and with all this time outside, it’s given me the chance to plan some tweaks I’d like to make with accessories, plants and flowers. My first purchase every year around this time is a…

EASTER BASKET IDEAS FOR THE LITTLES

Easter is right around the corner and I’m finishing up finding the last of the fillers I’ll be stuffing into my littles’ baskets this year. It was so much easier (and budget-friendly) when they were super little, but I’ve managed to stick to the same thing year after year – books, a gratitude journal, a…

INSPIRED DESIGN: ROBERT STILIN

There are a handful of designers whose work I come back to time and again – creators of spaces that are artfully arranged, effortlessly beautiful and both timeless and welcoming. Robert Stilin is one of my favorites whose work I visit frequently, as much for his tailored restraint and beautiful design details as for his…

MARCH (p)INSPIRATION

I can’t believe it’s March already! The weather has just been absolutely gorgeous and we’ve gotten to spend so much time outside; it’s not too much longer until everything is lush and green again, but until then, here are some recent pins that have inspired me so much – fresh greenery (always), beautiful millwork and…

SPRING GREENS

Spring is in the air and I’m craving all the green I can get my hands on; trips to the grocery store lately always result in a house plant or a small bunch of blooms to freshen up little nooks and crannies all over the house. What a difference a pop of greenery can make,…

BLUE + WHITE FAVORITES

I will forever and always be in love with all shades of blue, especially when paired with bamboo, silver and rattan! I initially picked up this cookbook because of the sleek navy cover (and it turned out to be a new favorite, in terms of recipes inside!) It’s a classic color combination that I will…

Happy St. Valentine’s Day and Happy FRIDAY!!! This has been the longest week, jam-packed with all the kid activities at school, a sick day and hosting two Valentine’s Day parties at the same time at school today, so I’m ready for this week to be over and for the long weekend to begin! We’re expecting…
