LOVING LATELY
For someone who has always gravitated toward all shades of blues and grays, this time of year, I always crave more green – especially when paired with lots of texture, glass and linen for a sophisticated but approachable seasonal change. Wicker chandelier shades, burl wood picture frames, iraca baskets, beautiful ridged glassware and tortoise side…

FRIDAY FIVE
Happy Friday! Climbing out from under a mountain of laundry and taking a break from vacuuming up the two tons of dog fur that seem to accumulate every 24 hours to share a few finds I’m loving from this week! We opened the pool last weekend and so I’m feeling all the summer things –…

NEUTRAL DECOR PICKS
The change in seasons always brings about a burst of color, which is always a welcome change from the doldrums of winter, but for me, crisp whites and lots of texture will always reign supreme when ushering in warmer weather and longer days. Rattan, bamboo, polished nickel and ironstone are fresh and classic and go…

I managed to get some seeds for summer annuals in pots over the weekend with my little miss! We’re sticking with our favorites – cosmos, zinnias and globe amaranth. We love to…

INSPIRED: BLOOMS IN BASKETS
When it comes to planting, I almost always pick simple terra cotta pots that will age and weather beautifully, or dark gray, zinc-inspired options that give all the East Coast summer vibes. Lately, though, blooms planted in wicker baskets have been floating through my feed constantly and I couldn’t be more inspired. If you follow…
