get the look: an oldie but goodie
There are some interiors that are just so good, so timeless, so perfectly executed, that whenever you come across them, whether by flipping through old magazines or browsing Pinterest, you just have to stop to admire all over again all the things that made you love the space in the first place. For me, this…

a little outdoor slice of heaven
If there’s anything I love more than a beautifully weathered, shingle-style chic cottage, it’s an equally beautiful porch or patio in which to enjoy said cottage. I’m sure by now you’ve all seen Chris Burch’s Southampton home tour that was featured in Architectural Digest a while back, but Mackenzie Horan’s personal photos of the exterior…

obsessed: lutyens bench, take 2
When it comes to garden inspiration, I LOVE the idea of complimenting gorgeous landcaping with a beautiful garden bench. The idea of sitting for a spell to enjoy and admire all your hard work is just heaven to me (especially now that baby girl is so mobile!) I have long been obsessed with and will…

classic american style: howie guja
I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day and got to spend the long weekend with those you love! I absolutely loved seeing all the flags out on our walk and drive yesterday; I only wish more people would fly them year-round-such a great way to show pride in being an American! And speaking…

beautifully organized: the pantry
One of the perks of having a slight case of OCD and overall anal retentiveness when it comes to organization is that, for the most part, I have a pretty well organized home. It drives my husband crazy, but I am a firm believer in that there is a place for everything and everything has…

spring inspiration: kdhamptons
Spring is in the air finally, and along with it a TON of pollen (seriously, all the pine trees in our backyard look like they are glowing!) but I’ll take it! I can’t wait to get started on all my flower pots and beds for spring and summer and have been devouring inspiration on Pinterest…

swedish dreams
A few years ago, I had an obsession with Swedish interior design blogs and fully believed that everyone in the country lived in amazing, waterfront properties with breathtaking views. I just couldn’t get enough – it seemed like everyone decorated their homes with neutral colors, soft linens, lots of texture and pops of beautiful blue…
