for the kiddos
I’ve got babies on the brain big time lately. Not for me, personally (sorry, Mom!). I’m working on two nurseries and a big girl room for a lovely little lady who just graduated from crib to her own bed, and I am knee-deep in all-things-kiddos. Truth be told, I love working on spaces for little…

50 shades of grey
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was packed, but fun – Bunco, Blues Fest and the rest of the time spent devouring all three books in the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy. Since I need another weekend to catch up on all the sleep I didn’t get while reading, today I thought…

shaker style chic
A good friend of mine recently asked me to come aboard and help with the renovation of the living room and kitchen of her 1960’s rancher. Like us, they are military and will more than likely not be in the house much longer than four or five years, but the kitchen is in some serious…

marine industrial
If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, you know I love me some tiny cottages and would choose one over a McMansion any day of the week (and twice on Sundays!) So, when I saw this waterfront beach home in Marin County, California, in the latest issue of House Beautiful, I…

cool, calm and collected
As much as I love bright, bold color and pattern, at the end of the day, there’s nothing like coming home to a calm, soothing environment. My days are filled with enough craziness and running around like a chicken with my head cut off, so when I come home, I like it to be less…

summertime blues
Yesterday marked the first official day of summer and with all this heat and humidity, I’m thinking of cool, watery blues to inspire me! I just started working remotely on a small summer cottage in the Outer Banks where the client requested lots of blue -running the gamut from pale blue to navy- mixed in…

navy + coral
If you’ve been following my blog for any length of time, you know that I love me some navy blue (hello, logo!) Navy blue is the ultimate neutral-it goes with every color imaginable and a little bit can go a long way. Lately, I’m loving it paired with coral pink-the perfect combination for summer! It…

grey + white + lovely all over
If there’s one thing many clients are most unsure of initially, it’s bringing color into their homes. While their closets boast bright and bold or dark and moody hues, they have no idea how to incorporate the same into their living spaces. I often hear, “I love dark colors, but I’m afraid it will make…

shingle-style chic
As a kid, our family spent every summer at the beach- my parents loved walking the shoreline after dinner in the evenings, admiring the beautiful shingle-style homes and cottages that dotted the coast. I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree because, if you follow me on Pinterest, you know I have a…

by the sea
We are taking a much-needed trip to Sullivan’s Island, SC, to celebrate the hubby’s birthday and it can’t come at a better time! Having lived ten minutes from the beach for eight years, it’s been a tough transition, being now more than 2 hours away, so I’m looking forward to digging my toes in the…
