HIGH/LOW FAVORITES FOR THE 4TH

Hopping on today to share a few red, white and blue favorites for the 4th! I love to decorate with the same things every year, but this year I think I’ll be adding this super budget-friendly buffalo check tablecloth to the mix! It pairs so well with wicker paper plate chargers and bamboo serveware –…

THE NON-TOXIC WAY I KEEP MY WHITE LINENS BRIGHT

I am a glutton for punishment when it comes to white linens – I can never say no to crisp white bedding, dish towels and all the white eyelet for summer. It’s just a matter of time, though, before they’re gray and dingy, and since I’ve long since given up all the chemical-filled brighteners, I’ve…

FRIDAY FIVE

After an entire week of rain and thunderstorms, I’m so ready for some sunshine and pool time this weekend! Time has been flying faster than ever lately and this week has been no exception. I’m looking forward to some much-needed, low key family time, game night and movie night and trying a few new recipes.…

MAY (p)INSPIRATION

One more week until school is officially out, and while we still have quite a few activities to get through, my mind is already on slow summer days, thanks to my Pinterest scrolling as of late. Lots of silvered cedar shakes, beautiful architectural details, vintage Broncos and gauzy linens are floating through my feed and…

LOVING LATELY

For someone who has always gravitated toward all shades of blues and grays, this time of year, I always crave more green – especially when paired with lots of texture, glass and linen for a sophisticated but approachable seasonal change. Wicker chandelier shades, burl wood picture frames, iraca baskets, beautiful ridged glassware and tortoise side…

FOR SALE IN THE HUDSON VALLEY

Architect Gil Schafer’s Hudson Valley, NY, estate went up for sale a few weeks ago and social media, understandably, hasn’t been able to stop buzzing about it since! I remember the first time I laid eyes on photos of the incredible Greek Revival and surrounding 45-acres and couldn’t believe it was actually built by Schafer…

SUMMER FINDS

While we are all making our way through the myriad school activities this month, I’m looking ahead to slow mornings by the pool and an empty calendar. Sharing a few things on my radar today that celebrate the summer season; our pool towels had seen better days, it was time to find some new ones…

AN AMAZING SUMMER PASTA SALAD

We are officially celebrating as though it’s already summer – the weather has been amazing, the pool is open and get togethers and barbeques have commenced! I love to bring a pasta salad as a side – it’s easy to put together and it’s something everyone loves. This chopped Italian pasta salad is a new…

FRIDAY FIVE

Happy Friday! Climbing out from under a mountain of laundry and taking a break from vacuuming up the two tons of dog fur that seem to accumulate every 24 hours to share a few finds I’m loving from this week! We opened the pool last weekend and so I’m feeling all the summer things –…

VASE ROUNDUP FOR SPRING + SUMMER BLOOMS

We are anxiously awaiting all the gomphrena, cosmos, zinnia and dahlias we planted a few weeks back to bloom and for every surface to soon be covered with handfuls of blooms all summer long! When it comes to displaying them, I like to use simple vessels to keep the focus on the blooms, usually preferring…

SPRING AT HOME

April and May are undoubtedly the busiest of the year, with the end of school and all the projects, field trips and activities that go along with it. The last few weeks, while silent on the blog, have been fast-paced and exciting in real life, but I did manage to snap a few photos of…

APRIL (p)INSPIRATION

We’re coming off of a wonderful spring break and are in the home stretch of the school year, but also inching closer to long summer days by the pool with friends and family! This year the pollen has been brutal, so I’ve been anxiously awaiting its departure so that we can open the pool and…
