VASE ROUNDUP
We’re counting down the days until all the zinnias, dahlias and cosmos we planted a few weeks back are in full bloom and gracing every surface of the house this summer! When it comes to displaying them, I prefer to keep the vessel super simple to highlight the beauty of the flowers, usually opting for…
ON MY RADAR FOR SUMMER
Summer has unofficially made its debut around these parts and we have been loving every minute of it! The pool is open, we’re counting down the last few days of school and we’ve been eating dinner on the deck every night. Still waiting for the water temp to get above 72 before I even dare…
AN AMAZING MARGARITA RECIPE
The weather has been so incredibly beautiful and unseasonably mild for this time of year, so we’ve been enjoying a cocktail with neighbors a little earlier than normal, while the kids either play outside or take a dip in the pool lately. I promise I have no intentions of turning this into a food blog,…
5 MINUTE CHARCUTERIE
Outdoor entertaining season is officially upon us and, for me, that means lots of last minute get togethers with friends and neighbors by the pool for cocktails. And of course, having a few small bites on hand to offer is always important. As much as I love creating a beautiful charcuterie board with all the…
MAY (p)INSPIRATION
With the exception of all the coverage of King Charles’ coronation this past weekend (Will and Kate completely stole the show!), I’ve been rather uninspired by everything floating through my Instagram feed lately. Pinterest still reigns supreme for me when I need a design or decor fix and since we hit temps in the 90’s…
THE ALL NATURAL WAY I KEEP MY LINENS BRIGHT WHITE
I’m such a glutton for punishment when it comes to white linens, be it bedding, bath towels, even tablecloths and dinner napkinsw, not to mention, all the white eyelet for myself and little miss, come spring and summer! Much to my dismay, though, it doesn’t take long before they’re dingy and gray. I got rid…
PANZANELLA + GOUDA MAC
It already feels like summer around here, so I’m switching gears for a quick minute to share one of my favorite salads that is constantly on repeat here during spring and summer months – panzanella! Growing up in a Greek/Italian household, we always had a version of this on our dinner table; it’s the perfect…
APRIL (p)INSPIRATION
I can’t believe we’re already halfway through April! Taking a mini hiatus from the blog had not been on my agenda, but I’m back with a roundup of recent pins to get moving on my posts once again. We’ve been having the most incredible weather and the kids and I have been soaking it all…
INSPIRED DESIGN: JAMES DOYLE DESIGN ASSOCIATES
I follow just as many landscape designers and architects on Instagram as I do interior designers and one of my very favorites is Connecticut-based James Doyle Design Associates. The firm specializes in beautiful and innovative landscapes that are as effortlessly beautiful as they are tailored and elegant and any time a snap of one of…
MARCH (p)INSPIRATION
I can’t believe we’re already into March; it seems like just last week we were getting ready for Santa and yet, here we are, covered in pollen and temps hitting the 80’s already! Right about this time of year, I get antsy for everything to green up; it just doesn’t feel right when it’s so…
ON MY RADAR
It’s that time of year when moody blues and lots of texture land heavily on my radar, so today I’m rounding up a few items I’m loving lately that check both of those boxes – beautiful block prints, rattan pieces and the chicest glass hurricanes (that have been on my wish list forever), to name…
STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO A “ZINC” PAINT FINISH
One of my favorite paint techniques for lamps, mirrors, pots and more is a “zinc” finish – and it also happens to be one of the easiest to do! I have always loved the chalky, blue patina of zinc but it also comes with a hefty price tag, so for me, a paint treatment that…
