June 26, 2013

I have been a fan of Hamptons-based interior designer Robert Stilin ever since he transformed the incredible East Hampton barn of my favorite foodie, Ina Garten, and his design portfolio is even more amazing!  There is so much to love in each and every one of the spaces he creates and it’s thanks to the…

For me, a trip to Charleston would not be complete without stopping into South of Market on King Street, home to some of the most beautiful European antiques, industrial lighting and accessories, furnishings and some of the most amazing, enexpected pieces of art!  I’ve posted about this little gem before (here and here), but I…

Interior designer Jeffrey Alan Marks and his partner Ross Cassidy were two of my favorites on Million Dollar Decorators – Jeffrey’s cockiness and self-confidence were hilarious, but every space he touched turned to gold, so rock on, JAM!  His style is equal parts classic California casual meets East Coast chic –  from a masculine Crossfit…

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…

Boston-based designer Jill Goldberg is a girl after my own heart!  Her home furnishings boutique, Hudson Boston, is one of my favorite jaunts to visit when I’m in town – the girl can style a vignette like none other!  And her interior design portfolio is just as impressive.  Combining her New England roots with casual…

I never thought I’d be pullling weeds from my lawn in the dead of winter, but with it vacillating between icy, freezing temps and 75 degrees every other day, that’s exactly what I’ve been doing as of late. I don’t normally mind the upkeep, but with our bermuda grass brown and crunchy, I can’t help…

I’m always drawn to light, bright spaces that are fun and fresh, but I’m especially so every time a New Year rolls around.  There’s something about clean, classic design that makes me want to go crazy de-cluttering and painting everything white for a fresh start.  I was pleasantly surprised to discover that quite a few…

If you’ve read my blog for any length of time, you know that I’m drawn to rooms with a neutral color palette and a lot of texture, so it’s no surprise I’m drooling over Houston-based interior designer Ashley Goforth’s amazing portfolio! Her style is simple and classic, with the perfect mix of modern and traditional…

This hot and humid weather has got me thinking of light and airy spaces with cool color combinations,  fresh patterns and, as always, lots of natural textures.  Toronto-based interior designer and HGTV host Samantha Pynn nails this aeshetic every time in each and every one of her rooms, adding a dose of modern and a…
