not your grandmother’s wicker
I have a love/hate relationship with patio furniture these days; I would LOVE to find pieces for my screened-in porch, but am too indecisive to figure out what is is that I really want. For the longest time, I was pretty sure I wanted teak that would weather to a gorgeous, silvery gray…but then I…

obsessed: french bistro chairs
Maybe I’m still stuck on Monday’s post, but I seem to be stuck on all things blue and white these days. The cold, dreary weather doesn’t help, either; I’m so ready to welcome Spring and add a few more pops of blue around the house to really signal the end of winter! Lately, I’m loving…

obsessed: windsor chairs
Lately, it seems everywhere I look I see Windsor chairs – in magazines and all over Pinterest, especially – and not just in country homes in New England, either.

rattan dining chairs + a great find!
World Market has, surprisingly, been knocking it out of the park lately! I’ve had my eye on these rattan dining chairs since I first saw them last year. I love the shape and the high backs, and the darker tone and texture would look beautiful against a distressed wood table. They retail for $159 per…

bachelor pad
When a friend’s younger brother closed recently on the purchase of his very first home, he turned to me for help decorating it and I jumped at the chance to design an amazing bachelor pad for him! To start, we’re working on the living room, which is open to the kitchen- the perfect setup for…

bye, bye black
When my lovely friend Ellie Mae (remember her amazing maternity photo shoot?) asked me to refinish a changing table and crib for her twin baby girls, I jumped at the chance! Her babies will be here in the next few weeks and how better to welcome them to the world than with a revamped, shabby…

before and after: graywashed crib
A few weeks back, I posted this nursery design board for a special little client getting ready to make her debut in two months. I just finished her crib and was so excited with how well it turned out, I wanted to share! I promise to post pictures of it assembled once the nursery is…
