new (antique) end tables for lydia’s room
I dropped my sweet baby girl off at her first day of kindergarten this morning and am not even embarrassed to admit that I couldn’t make it out of the room without bawling my eyes out. So, given this momentous day for her, myself and Luca, I thought it only appropriate that I would post…

moody blue beach bedroom
I love light, bright beach houses with plenty of crisp white paint as much as the next person, but who says you can’t get the same effect with dark, cozy colors? Lately, I’ve been so inspired by spaces that can achieve a laid back, sophisticated beach feel without resorting to pastels and seashells, that I…
