When a new client emailed me a picture of the living room from the movie Something’s Gotta Give as  inspiration for her new home, I jumped with excitement!  There’s no color combination more classic or versatile than blue and white and what better way to incorporate it in your decor than with a chic, striped…

bringing the outdoors in

Nothing says summer like bouquets of fresh picked flowers from the garden all around the house.  But if you don’t have beds overflowing with beautiful blooms, don’t fret.  You don’t have to have a green thumb or tons of cash to make a big impact in your home throughout the summer.  Snippets from evergreen shrubs,…

I rushed home today, giddy with anticipation, to find this beauty waiting for me in my foyer (Thank you, Jada, for letting the delivery guys in for me!): I ordered this 60-pound bad boy more than a month ago and I’m pleased to say, it’s even more beautiful in person.  The rough texture of the wood and the…

fab find friday: whitewashed candlesticks

April 15, 2011

TJ Maxx has been more miss than hit lately.  I still stop in frequently to check out their new inventory for projects I’m working on, but it’s been a long time since I’ve purchased anything for my own home that I didn’t ultimately end up returning.  Then, last week, in a mad dash to find…
