SOPHISTICATED IN SOUTHAMPTON
I’ve thumbed through last month’s issue of Architectural Digest so many times, always landing on this historic Southampton estate recently reimagined by interior design team Atelier AM, that it was definitely worth a little tour here on the blog. The interiors are sophisticated and beautifully restrained, from the French-inspired kitchen that opens to the screened…
THE PERFECT DINNER PLATES FOR ALFRESCO DINING
It may be a little premature to be thinking about alfresco dining, but spring and summer will be here before we know it and I can’t wait! I’m not usually the biggest fan of melamine, but for dinners, get togethers and play dates by the pool, it just can’t be beat. So, when I stumbled…
ETSY FAVORITES
Hello and Happy February! For the first time in I don’t know how long, I took the month of January off from EVERYTHING – no projects, no blogging, no social media – and it was glorious! It’s amazing what a little time with no adherence to schedule can do for the soul, but I’m excited…
LOVING LATELY
I’m loving the unseasonably cold weather we’ve been having lately – it’s been the perfect chance to cozy up with some favorite design books and peruse some goodies online while the littles are at school. I’m always gravitating toward texture, muted color palettes and fresh greenery, but especially this time of year when all the…
JANUARY (p)INSPIRATION
Despite being a self-proclaimed perpetual summer girl, January is one of my favorite months of the year. After the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, I love taking the first month of the year to recharge my batteries and bundle up to take long walks, read books (or take more time to flip through…
INSPIRED: TONE-ON-TONE IN THE ENTRY
I have a handful of house projects to tackle in the New Year and at the tippy top of the list is a little refresh for my entry. I don’t plan on anything drastic – just a fresh coat of paint for the walls, trim, ceiling, doors and Thomasville piece, to start. For a while…
CHEERS TO 2024!
Happy New Year! I can’t believe it’s 2024; my husband was just saying the other night how it feels like it was just Halloween last week and I have to agree. Since having my second child, time feels like it’s flying by at warp speed, and since I’ve never been one for making New Year’s…
BLUE AND WHITE AND CRANBERRY FOR CHRISTMAS
We’re off to a great start this Christmas season, with a host of parties, get togethers and dinners already in the works, one of which happens to be a small gathering at my house this weekend while my dad is in town. My most favorite part about entertaining around the holidays is – no surprise…
FAUX GARLANDS (STILL IN STOCK!)
I posted a video on Insta last week of my newly painted hutch in my eating area, which happened to be draped by a faux white pine garland and I got so many questions about the greenery that I thought I’d share here, too! I’ve only ever had fresh garlands and evergreens in my house;…
GIFT GUIDE: FOR HIM
Gift ideas for the guys are always the hardest for me; unless they have hobbies or interests that are easy to find accessories for, it can be tough coming up with ideas. My hubby is also the hardest person in the world to shop for because there isn’t much that he needs or wants, but…
GIFT GUIDE: FOR HER
This is the first year in I don’t know how long that I’m actually way ahead of schedule with my Christmas shopping AND actually have my Christmas cards ready to drop in the mail, so I actually have the chance to put some items together for the ladies in your life- friends, sisters, mommas, or…
ENTERTAINING FAVORITES FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Thanksgiving is a week away and since we will be traveling again this year, I’ll be celebrating turkey day a little early at home. I’ve already started going through all my entertaining favorites, polishing silver and pulling table linens I want to use this year, so I thought I’d share a roundup of pieces that…
