IN & OUT IN 2025
I’ve never been one for New Year’s resolutions, but I have so enjoyed seeing everyone else’s picks for what will be in and out in 2025 that I pulled together some of my own (a few weeks late, per my usual, but better late than never!) I’d say this is less trend prediction, per say,…
Read MoreJANUARY (p)INSPIRATION
Happy New Year and Happy Epiphany! I hope you’re all off to a great start in this New Year; I’m coming off of a wonderful two weeks away from social media having spent the most amazing time with family and just relaxing and unwinding from the happy whirlwind of Christmas! The littles went back to…
Read MoreGET THE LOOK: SAG HARBOR SEA CAPTAIN’S COTTAGE
It’s no secret I have a mild love affair with the work of interior designer Steven Gambrel. If you guys have been hanging around here for a while, you know his sea captain’s cottage in Sag Harbor is an absolute favorite of mine, one that I am always drawing inspiration from and one that I’m…
Read MoreSWAPPING CAN LIGHTING FOR FLUSH MOUNTS
Lighting is one of the most important details of any room; layering table lamps, floor lamps, sconces and pendant lighting is such a great way to create warmth and coziness to any space. Recessed lighting, while definitely functional, is lacking in style or any kind of visual appeal, not to mention that, even with dimmers,…
Read MoreLATE SUMMER FAVORITES INSPIRED BY THE AMALFI COAST
My littles started school last week and I’m still in complete denial that summer break is officially over. We are still very much embroiled in summer heat and humidity around these parts, so I’m no way near ready for talk of pumpkin-scented everything and cable knit sweaters. Mentally, I’m on the Amalfi Coast, sipping a…
Read MoreFOUR COOKBOOKS TO ADD TO YOUR SHELF
The summer is my favorite time of the year to try out new recipes, especially during this season of motherhood when my oldest is so interested in learning how to cook. Normally, I would just love to throw some chicken or steaks on the grill and put together a loaded salad and call it a…
Read MoreAUGUST (p)INSPIRATION
Pinterest remains one of my favorite guilty pleasures/rabbit holes to fall down after the kiddos go to bed at night. All the snaps of the Amalfi Coast, silvered cedar shake houses lined with perfectly poised boxwoods, alfresco dining, lots of muted greens and blues…basically the same things I’ve been pining all year round, regardless of…
Read MoreALL THE FAMILY + KID-FRIENDLY THINGS WE DID ON NANTUCKET
One of the questions I got asked the most as I shared photos from our trip to Nantucket on Instagram earlier this summer was if I was going to share a post with all the fun things we did with the kiddos. So today, I’m going to pause all the design and architecture to share…
Read MoreNANTUCKET RECAP
Trying to blog in the summer when the kiddos are out of school, for me at least, is a lot like trying to brush my teeth while eating Oreos; it’s nearly impossible. No matter my best intentions, all of my time and attention goes to the littles and if I’m being perfectly honest, as much…
Read MoreA WEEKEND IN CHARLESTON, pt. II
I’m back with part two of pictures from our weekend away in Charleston; after all the miles we clocked in and around all the residential streets, you know I have quite the camera roll of photos that didn’t fit in yesterday’s post! Charleston is nothing if not a feast for the eyes; I always come…
