get the look: new “old” home in wainscott
Nothing beats the charm of an older home; for as long as I can remember I have dreamed of buying an old fixer upper and transforming it into a quaint little cottage, complete with an ivy-covered entrance, Dutch doors, a limestone fireplace/mantle, skeleton keys and, of course, a white picket fence. Like most families, especially…

chic in cape cod
As much as I love pops of bright, bold color, for me nothing can compare to a soft, neutral space with muted colors and lots of texture. It’s not only my favorite way to decorate, but it also lends itself particularly well to the aesthetic I’ve tried to create in my own home. And if…

get the look: contemporary oceanfront beauty
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! It’s cold and rainy and gray today and it’s mornings like these that make me wish I was at the beach. There’s nothing cozier than curling up with a soft blanket, a cup of tea and watching the rain (or even better, snow!) fall on the sea. …

updated east coast chic: the zhush
As promised, a return to all things design and decor is in full effect and I can’t think of a better way to kick off blogging in 2015 than with one heck of a beauty of a home tour! As an east coast girl myself, I’ve always had an affinity for homes that echo traditional…

hgtv dream house – martha’s vineyard
Have you guys seen the HGTV dream home on Martha’s Vineyard yet? Let me tell you, it’s good. Really good. When it comes to beach houses, I’ll take small and cozy over sprawling McMansions any day of the week, but surprisingly, this home, despite its size, really does have a cottage feel. It’s classic New…
