ENTERTAINING/SERVING PIECES FOR THANKSGIVING
As promised, today I’m sharing a roundup of beautiful entertaining and serving pieces for your Thanksgiving gathering! I know I sound like a broken record, but over the years, I’ve really pared down my entertaining basics/necessities, only buying items that are as beautiful as they are practical, but that can also easily be dressed up…
THANKSGIVING TABLE INSPIRATION
Thanksgiving will be here before we know it and we will be celebrating it twice, starting the weekend before, so I’ve been busy scheming how I’ll be setting my table this year! I’m currently obsessed with checks, so I think I’ll be pairing them with lots of texture, bamboo, tortoise, my grandmother’s silver candlesticks and…
INSPIRED DESIGN: LB COPELAND INTERIORS
I recently stumbled upon the portfolio of designer LB Copeland and immediately fell down a beautiful rabbit hole of inspiration. Her spaces are beautifully layered with just about everything I love in interiors – soft and moody color palettes, lots of texture, subtle pattern, antique pieces and plenty of natural light, creating an understated elegance…
GETTING A HEADSTART ON CHRISTMAS
I promise I’m not going to skip out on posting Thanksgiving goodies, but every year, without fail, many Christmas decorations I’ve had my eye on are sold out by the time I try adding to my cart, so I’m rounding up a bevy of beauties I love – some I have and few I want!…
LIMELIGHTS ON EVERY CORNER
One of my favorite things about fall in the south is that there is a plethora of limelights still in bloom, everywhere you look! My neighbor has a few twelve – plus foot high bushes and she lets me snip a few from the back; this time last year, every corner, countertop and table was…
LATELY INSPIRED BY
If you guys haven’t seen the latest issue of Frederic Magazine, I highly recommend picking up a copy the next time you’re at the grocery store. Designer Alecia Stevens’ Minnesota farmhouse revamp is absolutely stunning, from the beautifully layered textures, soft colors and patterns to the jaw dropping, light-filled sunroom adjacent to the kitchen. (I…
HOW TO MAKE A DEMIJOHN LAMP
I’ve had quite the love affair with demijohn lamps since I first laid eyes on one in this Sag Harbor property years ago – so much so, in fact, I devoted an entire blog post to it here. I love how much interest and drama they add to a corner or side table, but I…
ENTERTAINING PRETTIES FOR FALL + THE HOLIDAYS
I’ve never been the biggest fan of decorating with shades of red, but I have to say, lately I’m loving wine paired with lots of texture, silver, a little ironstone and, of course, a few topiary for the table! I found the prettiest gingham napkins in burgundy and they inspired me to do a roundup…
DIY HALLOWEEN BATS
I shared a photo on Insta yesterday of some bat decorations I put up every year for the kids and I got so many questions about where I found them, that I decided to do a post on them here! I actually made these myself years ago; I printed out a bat template online and…
OCTOBER (p)INSPIRATION
October is one of the most magical months in the fall; the temps hover between the 70’s and 80’s, there’s little humidity and everything is still green. This is the time of year when we eat outside the most, rush home from school to drop our stuff and ride bikes and play baseball until time…
INSPIRED: DEMIJOHN TABLE LAMPS
It’s no secret I’ve had a longstanding love affair with the work of interior designer Steven Gambrel. I’ve flipped through his portfolio when looking for inspiration more times than I can count and I always find something new to fall in love with in his spaces. One of my favorite accessories that he uses in…
BEST OF SUMMER BLOOMS AND A ROUNDUP OF BEAUTIFUL VASES
The only upside to the end of summer, for me, is that there is a plethora of dahlias in bloom to soothe the sadness of my littles returning to school! One of my dear friends started her own flower farm a few years ago and I always looked forward to her end-of-summer subscription for the…
