kelly mcguill home
I’ve always been a fan of the “less is more” design philosophy-simple and classic will never go out of style and interior designer/photo stylist/blogger extraordinaire Kelly McGuill is a pro at nailing this aesthetic each and every time. I’ve been following Kelly’s blog for a while now and have always been drawn to her clean…

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…

designer love: lee ann thornton
I’m always drawn to light, bright spaces that are fun and fresh, but I’m especially so every time a New Year rolls around. There’s something about clean, classic design that makes me want to go crazy de-cluttering and painting everything white for a fresh start. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that quite a few…

oversize welcome
When it comes to decorating an entryway or foyer, I am a firm believer that you’re best off going big or going home. A large piece of art or a generously-sized gallery wall are great options, but, for me, nothing makes a dramatic impact quite like an oversize mirror. Round, square, rectangular or sunburst, only…

beautiful organization
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are off to a great start in 2013! I had a great time up north with my dad and brothers, but nine years in the south has definitely spoiled me….a few days in Philadelphia felt like I was in the tundra! Still can’t believe how 2012…

inspired: turkey day
Can you believe Thanksgiving is two days away? I am not hosting dinner this year which is kind of a bummer because last year I loved having family in town-the more is always the merrier in my house! I can honestly tell you, though, that more thought and preparation went into decorating last year than…
