inspired: bamboo blinds
Bamboo blinds are, hands down, my favorite type of window coverings BY FAR! They are so versatile – they work in such a wide variety of rooms and decor styles, they add texture and warmth to any space and are relatively inexpensive, making them my go-to for most of my client projects. They look great…

good bones, great pieces
I’m a little late to the party (surprise, surprise) and just ordered my copy of Good Bones, Great Pieces, the brainchild of mother/daughter blogging and interior design duo Suzanne and Lauren McGrath and I absolutely LOVE IT!!! Good Bones, Great Pieces was one of the very first blogs I followed way back in the day…

gilded frames
Earlier this week I got a call from a friend asking me to help her with a generously-sized gallery wall in her living room. I am a firm believer that every house should have an amazing gallery wall of favorite photos and art, so I was especially happy to help! She had seen a blog…

one hell of a porch!
It’s cold and pouring down rain as I sit here writing this post, and while I’ve got a little while longer before warmer temps and margaritas by my pool, I’m lusting over this amazing porch by interior designer Anne Hepfer! I love the charcoal gray shakes and the beautiful contrast it creates against the white…

gingham style
I must admit, I’ve never owned any gingham until I picked up this fabulous button down a few weeks back and have since found myself reaching for it in my closet constantly! Gingham and it’s larger print big sister, buffalo check, are classic, traditional, a little bit rustic and bring a fun, fresh vibe to…

take me away: inn at windmill lane
I’ve never been to the Hamptons, but a long weekend holed up at an amazing, shingle-style bed and breakfast like the Inn at Windmill Lane in Amagansett, NY, is EXACTLY what I need right now! Shingle-style homes give me heart palpitations and this inn is as adorable on the outside as it is chic on…

crazy for cowhide
It all started with a little pillow….a cowhide-print beauty (not the real deal) that was the perfect finishing touch for a cozy little corner of a nursery I’m working on and I was instantly smitten! Suddenly, I notice cowhides in interiors everywhere I look now-rugs, pillows, stools, you name it! Like most fabulous design details,…

it’s O.K. to corral
Thanks to my O.C.D. tendencies and overall anal retentiveness about organization, I am not a fan of clutter. For me, everything has a place and there is a place for everything, otherwise I cannot rest (it drives my husband CRAZY). As much as I would love my home to be perfect all the time, it’s…

winter whites
Winter time, and January in particular, always makes me want to curl up under a soft, fuzzy blanket in front of the fire with a cup of tea and my nose in a good book. Unfortunately, we’ve been experiencing temps in the mid-to-high 70’s lately, so it’s shorts and tee shirts for me, boo! I…
