FAVORITE, ELEVATED ENTERTAINING + EVERY DAY BASICS
I have touched on this quite a bit in many blog posts, but over the years, I’ve pared down all of my every day and entertaining basics to pieces that are as beautiful as they are utilitarian – pieces that are perfect for every day, but also elevate special occasions and holidays effortlessly. Simple white…
CHIC, BUDGET-FRIENDLY DESIGN FINDS FROM A SURPRISING SOURCE
A couple days ago, a few design finds popped up into my feed while scrolling Instagram and I was shocked to discover they were from Bed, Bath and Beyond! Browsing big box retail chains is a lot like searching for a needle in a haystack , and if I’m being honest, it isn’t the first…
GET THE LOOK: SAG HARBOR SEA CAPTAIN’S COTTAGE
It’s no secret I have a mild love affair with the work of interior designer Steven Gambrel. If you guys have been hanging around here for a while, you know his sea captain’s cottage in Sag Harbor is an absolute favorite of mine, one that I am always drawing inspiration from and one that I’m…
CHIC DECOR + ENTERTAINING FINDS FROM AMAZON
While I’ve always preferred to highlight products from small businesses both online and locally, it’s inevitable that some finds from Amazon make their way into some of my roundups. I do not have an Amazon shop, nor do I have any intentions of creating one, but I thought I’d share a few small home decor…
SWAPPING CAN LIGHTING FOR FLUSH MOUNTS
Lighting is one of the most important details of any room; layering table lamps, floor lamps, sconces and pendant lighting is such a great way to create warmth and coziness to any space. Recessed lighting, while definitely functional, is lacking in style or any kind of visual appeal, not to mention that, even with dimmers,…
LATE SUMMER FAVORITES INSPIRED BY THE AMALFI COAST
My littles started school last week and I’m still in complete denial that summer break is officially over. We are still very much embroiled in summer heat and humidity around these parts, so I’m no way near ready for talk of pumpkin-scented everything and cable knit sweaters. Mentally, I’m on the Amalfi Coast, sipping a…
FOUR COOKBOOKS TO ADD TO YOUR SHELF
The summer is my favorite time of the year to try out new recipes, especially during this season of motherhood when my oldest is so interested in learning how to cook. Normally, I would just love to throw some chicken or steaks on the grill and put together a loaded salad and call it a…
AUGUST (p)INSPIRATION
Pinterest remains one of my favorite guilty pleasures/rabbit holes to fall down after the kiddos go to bed at night. All the snaps of the Amalfi Coast, silvered cedar shake houses lined with perfectly poised boxwoods, alfresco dining, lots of muted greens and blues…basically the same things I’ve been pining all year round, regardless of…
ALL THE FAMILY + KID-FRIENDLY THINGS WE DID ON NANTUCKET
One of the questions I got asked the most as I shared photos from our trip to Nantucket on Instagram earlier this summer was if I was going to share a post with all the fun things we did with the kiddos. So today, I’m going to pause all the design and architecture to share…
NANTUCKET RECAP
Trying to blog in the summer when the kiddos are out of school, for me at least, is a lot like trying to brush my teeth while eating Oreos; it’s nearly impossible. No matter my best intentions, all of my time and attention goes to the littles and if I’m being perfectly honest, as much…
A WEEKEND IN CHARLESTON, pt. II
I’m back with part two of pictures from our weekend away in Charleston; after all the miles we clocked in and around all the residential streets, you know I have quite the camera roll of photos that didn’t fit in yesterday’s post! Charleston is nothing if not a feast for the eyes; I always come…
A LONG WEEKEND IN CHARLESTON
In the ten years since becoming parents, my hubby and I have only ever left our children for a weekend away once – for a dear friend’s wedding in Sea Island, Georgia, two years ago. We had the best time, but ended up missing some of the post-wedding festivities because I wanted to high tail…
