luxe for less: rope chandelier
With warmer weather right around the corner (fingers crossed), it’s all I can do not to think about what everyone else is thinking about this time of year…the beach! In my mind, I have decorated (and re-decorated) my pretend cottage by the sea over and over again and one of my must-haves is a fabulous…

luxe for less: bling chandelier
Robert Abbey’s Bling Chandelier has always been one of my favorites and it was the first thing that popped into my head when sourcing lighting to add a bit of glam to a client’s living room I’m working on. Unfortunately, the $1400 price tag was a tad bit out of reach, so I beat feet…

luxe for less: natural curiosities seaweed prints

luxe for less: jill rosenwald trellis rug
I’ve been smitten with the Surya rug in blue by Jill Rosenwald since I first laid eyes on it, and when a client was looking for a large rug for her family room, I immediately thought it would be the perfect fit. Fortunately and unfortunately, we have lots of decorating planned for the whole house,…

Last week, in search of some fun accessories for a client, I stopped by one of my favorite local antique shops, and, as I turned the corner, I ran smack-dab into this beauty: I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since! There’s something so haunting and at the same time, breathtaking, about it. …

luxe for less: montauk surf lodge
Although summer is technically over, I can’t get enough of the easy, breezy Montauk Surf Lodge in Long Island. Maybe it’s the fact that temps are still hovering around 90 degrees here in the south, but the white plank paneling, breathtaking wicker light pendants and high gloss turquoise-painted floors make me want to kick off…
