hgtv dream house – martha’s vineyard

December 16, 2014

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…

get the look: sleek mountain house

December 8, 2014

Let’s take a break from the Christmas posts and tour what is probably the most amazing mountain house I’ve ever seen, shall we?  I’ve always had a bit of an obsession with a getaway in the mountains in the dead of winter.  There’s something so comfy and cozy about holing up in a cabin in…

instagram inspiration: gadabout

December 2, 2014

One of my favorite house tours was a few years ago when Glitter Guide did a feature on then Charleston-based graphic designer Hanna Seabrook’s beautiful home.  Aside from having the perfect, lived-in, layered look, what I loved most about her home was how she blended heirloom pieces with more modern finds for a young, fresh feel…

soft + feminine house tour

November 21, 2014

I try not to post things that have already made their way around blogland, but this gem of a house tour has been a favorite of mine lately and it’s just too good, I couldn’t resist!  Designed by Irene Lovett of designstiles, an LA-based interior design firm that actually specializes in nurseries and kid’s spaces…

November 12, 2014

I always look forward to the annual showhouses put out each year by my favorite design publications and since it’s no secret I love a beautiful beach house, I was especially excited to see the Coastal Living showhouse in Coronado, designed by LA-based Betsy Burnham and her partner, Max Humphrey.  To be honest, I thought…

November 4, 2014

I’m a little behind in making my way through the last few month’s worth of design magazines (my stack is now twice as high as the basket they sit in!) so, last night I popped open a bottle of wine and started flipping through a couple and right away this renovated 19th century farmhouse in…

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  I got a babysitter for the FIRST TIME since Baby Girl was born so we could go out and celebrate a friend’s birthday; given that Lydia is almost ten months old, you can imagine how big a deal this was for momma bear.  There are still nights…

antique-filled in amagansett

October 1, 2014

Fall is finally starting to (slowly) creep its way to the south and I couldn’t be happier!  I’ve been glued to my Pinterest page lately but, instead of fall decorations, I’ve been drooling over tailored spaces in neutral color palettes with lots of texture, beautiful antiques, and luxurious textiles.  I’ve always been drawn to more…

chic (and colorful) in nantucket

September 16, 2014

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know it’s no secret I have a slight crush on designer/architect extraordinaire Steven Gambrel.  If you’ve ever perused his portfolio, it’s not hard to see why.  While all of his work is absolutely amazing, I have always been drawn most to how beautifully he pairs…

sullivan’s island stunner

September 9, 2014

Charleston is one of my favorite, most magical cities to visit and the neighboring beaches are just as spectacular, my favorite being Sullivan’s Island.  The beach itself is gorgeous, the water warm and the homes to die for!  This stunner, featured in Charleston Mag, is a fabulous example of the beauties dotting the shoreline; I couldn’t…
