ENTERTAINING FINDS I’M LOVING LATELY
One of the ways I beat the winter blah’s over here is to focus on food and our table. Seems a little silly, but it always works! Trying new recipes, putting together a small charcuterie board and taking the time to set a beautiful table for no reason are such simple things but go such…
A NEW PIECE FROM SUE DE CHIARA ART
For longer than I care to admit, I’ve been looking for an oversize piece of art to replace the wood starburst mirror that’s been hanging over my mantle for the last decade. As much as I loved the mirror paired with my wicker demijohn bottles, it was time for a change. The mirror was four…
5 WAYS TO REFRESH YOUR INTERIORS WITHOUT SPENDING ANY MONEY
I don’t know about you guys, but every year, without fail, when the tree comes down and all the Christmas decorations are packed away, the house feels so empty and sad. I always end up looking for ways to refresh the spaces we spend the most time in without buying anything new and this year…
JANUARY (p)INSPIRATION
Ah, Pinterest……what would I ever do without you for inspiration? Ever since Insta turned into a never-ending feed of advertisements and reels, Pinterest has retained its title as my favorite source for inspiration, not to mention my preferred social media outlet to fall down a rabbit hole on when I have a few minutes. Typically,…
CHRISTMAS IN THE VILLAGE
Driving around town this week and seeing all the Christmas decorations still up makes my heart so happy; the holiday always flies by while I’m so busy preparing that I feel like I miss out on actually enjoying it as much as I want to. So yesterday morning, I took a little time to slow…
CHRISTMAS 2022
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are off to a great start in 2023! Every year I have the best intentions of sharing all my Christmas and holiday-inspired ideas and photos but, like many of us, time creeps up on me and when it comes to choosing between blogging…
MY FAVORITE HOSTESS/TEACHER/JUST BECAUSE GIFT
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are off to a great start this first official week of the Christmas season! This week officially marks the start of many get-togethers, dinners and cocktail parties, which means hostess gifts will be needed, as well, so I am hopping on here to re-share one of…
TIPS FOR HANGING A FLOOR-TO-CEILING PHOTO GALLERY WALL
I love a beautiful photo gallery wall; I can’t think of a better way to add a little drama and personalization to your space than a wall full of the faces of those we love. We’ve had one in every house we’ve lived in, but it wasn’t until I saw this hallway in this project…
THANKSGIVING PREP
This weekend we have our first of two Thanksgiving celebrations and I’ve been planning my table all week! As much as I love going all out with a fancy table for the holidays, this year I’m going super simple with a buffalo check tablecloth, my grandmother’s silver candlesticks, my beloved French wine glasses, bamboo flatware…
FAVORITE ETSY FINDS
Taking a break from prepping for the first of two Thanksgiving celebrations this weekend to hop on here and share a few recent and a few favorite Etsy finds! I’m going to do a post on some of my favorite small businesses to shop from this Christmas, but figured I’d start with a few items…
INSPIRED: A TONE-ON-TONE KITCHEN BY DAN SCOTTI DESIGN
East Hampton-based designer Dan Scotti is one of my favorites to follow on Instagram; his tailored spaces effortlessly blend old and new with beautiful tone-on-tone color palettes, lots of texture, clean lines, vintage industrial lighting and a mix of antique and mid-century furniture. His attention to detail is incredible – case in point, the stunning…
THE SWEETEST SHEET SET FROM A SURPRISING SOURCE
I was hunting for new Christmas sheets for the kiddos when I stumbled upon this adorable organic gingham sheet set from GAP Home and couldn’t add them to my cart fast enough! It’s not easy finding bedding that is peachy/coral for my little miss’s room (everything is always PINK), but this set couldn’t be a…
