chambray love
My idea of the perfect summer “uniform” is a well-worn, soft chambray shirt paired with a pair of white shorts, a camel bag and a simple, chunky gold watch – so laid back, casual and sophisticated. Chambray is, quite possibly, the most perfect shade of blue, and I think it looks just as fabulous in…

orange crush
Lately, I’ve found myself gravitating toward the most beautiful shades of orange…nail polish, dresses, bedding, pillows, even the different types of fruits and veggies at the farmer’s market. From soft, muted coral all the way to bright, bold tangerine, this is such a fun, fresh and vibrant color for summer. Like all bold, bright colors,…

color cues from amanda nisbet
As much as I love and gravitate toward neutral spaces and color palettes, there is nothing like a bold pop of color to make a room feel fun, fresh and crisp-especially as the weather gets warmer. I’ve admired designer Amanda Nisbet’s work since I saw a Hamptons home she designed in Coastal Living a few years back…

But when it comes to making sometimes even the smallest design decision for myself, forget about it…..I will go back and forth over making a final choice on most anything when it comes to my own home. Take, for example, my…

winter whites
Winter time, and January in particular, always makes me want to curl up under a soft, fuzzy blanket in front of the fire with a cup of tea and my nose in a good book. Unfortunately, we’ve been experiencing temps in the mid-to-high 70’s lately, so it’s shorts and tee shirts for me, boo! I…

the midas touch
I don’t think I’ve ever come across something gold and shiney that I didn’t end up loving. Whether it’s a watch, a wristful of bangles or some nailhead trim in a lovely antique brass, gold tones are warming up some rather gray Fall days for me lately. If you follow me on Pinterest, it seems…

color crush: peacock blue
I am obsessed with this color! The perfect mix of blue and green, it’s such a rich, saturated shade that is perfect for Fall, especially when paired with gold or brass accents. While everyone else is crushing on burgundy and hunter green this Fall, I’m still stuck on peacock blue. Like any other bold hue,…

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…

painted cabinets
Recently, I’ve been gearing up for a major overhaul….painting upper and lower cabinetry in a ginormous kitchen for a client, who also happens to be a good friend. No pressure, right? Haha! For the last few months, we’ve been going over color selection and whether or not to add a soft glaze to her oak…

kelly green
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! As usual, mine was jam-packed and over way too quickly, but I did get to stop by and see a friend who is in the midst of wallpapering her dining room in the most gorgeous kelly green grasscloth-what until you see it! (She promised pictures once she was…
