When I first read that the home of Nashville-based interior decorator Sarah Bartholomew would be featured in the September issue of Southern Living, I started making extra trips to the mailbox to see when it would finally land in mine.  I’ve been a huge fan of Bartholomew’s classic, all-American style, not to mention her love…

August 15, 2016

If a good instagram feed is one where you want to “like” every photo, then Maura Endres (@m.o.endres) has a truly amazing one, because not only do I LOVE each and every photo she posts, but I feel a little like a stalker because I’m constantly going back to sneak more peeks of her stunning…

Happy Tuesday!  I hope you’re all off to a great start this week!  I can’t seem to get my head out of weekend mode, so I thought I’d make the delayed transition a little easier with some gorgeous eye candy from one of my favorite Instagram accounts – designer and artist William Rankin McLure IV.…

obsessed: versailles planters

April 29, 2016

I’ve been pining for a pair of oversize Versailles planters to flank my front door ever since we built our house six years ago.  Their classic shape is so elegant and not only do they look amazing with a few coats of high gloss paint but they work in so many design styles, too.  Sadly,…

February 3, 2016

I feel like I’m on my deathbed.  The sinus infection/head congestion I’ve been battling the last week or so has finally gotten the upper hand and between that and a two year old energizer bunny who is stuck in the house on this rainy day, I am officially done.  Baby girl is napping, giving me…

coastal elegance

January 27, 2016

One of the first design blogs I ever started reading way back in the day was that of designer Erika Powell of Urban Grace Interiors.  I fell in love with her classic, elegant style and her eye for mixing patterns and textiles immediately; every single detail is always perfectly executed, right down to the embroidered…
