sea captain’s quarters
Architect/interior designer Steven Gambrel is, hands down, one of the most talented in the business. Of all the projects in his stunning portfolio, though, his home in Sag Harbor is my favorite – the charming details and character of this former sea captain’s cottage is eclipsed only by the architectural heritage and historic legacy that…
connecticut stunner
Interior designer Victoria Hagan is a girl after my own heart. While I love to play with color and fun pattern, it’s serene color palettes, classic detailing, tons of texture and lots of white to which I always end up turning in the long run. Her renovated Georgian-style home in Southport Harbor, Connecticut, is a…
figless manor
If you’ve ever perused the New York Times Best Seller’s List, chances are you’ve seen a book or two by British fiction author Jane Green. I recently stumbled upon pictures of her home online and had heart palpitations, it was so gorgeous! Raised in London and armed with a love for old homes and buildings…
blue, bold + beautiful
If you only get one chance to make a great first impression at your home, a good place to start is the front door! Not only is it a great opportunity to make a bold statement, but it also sets the tone for what is to be expected when guests walk through the rest of…
my swimming pool
This week has been as crazy and hectic as it has been long. I’m knee-deep in a very exciting project, but, since we just started this week, I am no where near ready to share details…yet. So, instead, I thought I’d post some pictures of our in-ground pool today. As I posted before, when we…
isle of hope cottage
Since moving to North Carolina nine years ago, I’ve become totally enamored with all things Southern – the food, the people and especially the architecture and interior decor. This guest cottage on the Isle of Hope, right outside of Savannah, Georgia, designed by Number Four Eleven, is a beautiful example of lowcountry luxe. The cottage…
living room details
Thank you so much for all the super sweet comments and emails about my living room post yesterday! I am overwhelmed by your kind words and have my butt in gear to show the rest of my house soon, I promise! In the meantime, a lot of you had questions about the products I used,…
my living room sneak peek!
I had planned on posting a fun DIY today, but since I’ve been getting a lot of emails asking to see more of my home, I am posting some sneak peeks of my living room, instead! Even though we built this house two years ago, there is a lot of stuff left to do, thus…
antlers aweigh!
I’m currently working with a dear friend and client on the renovation of her living room and kitchen. Her taste is both classic and eclectic, which has been a lot of fun for me-we stick to timeless pieces and punch them up with fun, bold accessories and fabrics. It just so happens that her hubby…
a great before and after
I love Pinterest- not only for the bevy of inspiration you can find for nearly EVERYTHING, but also because it leads to design blogs to pore over. Such was the case when I stumbled upon Ashley of Smitten Design. I love a good before and after and the nursery she designed for her adorable baby…
kate jackson, take 2
I’m a huge fan of Rhode Island-based designer Kate Jackson’s casual, yet tailored, modern style – I posted some of her amazing spaces before, but when I saw this eclectic beach cottage in Watch Hill, RI, over the weekend, I fell in love all over again! Charming details like beadboard ceilings, Peter Dunham fabrics and…
black and white in nantucket
Out of all my magazine subscriptions, I have to say that New England Home has been killing it lately! When I saw the eclectic living room in the Nantucket home of interior designers Lee Bierly and Christopher Drake, my jaw dropped! Black and white accents, softly weathered furniture and touches of Americana blend together seamlessly…
