Fall is officially in the air and I’m so excited to have made a few tweaks to my table for the change in season! I say it all the time, but you don’t need to buy new entertaining pieces every time a new season rolls around; instead, I’m a big believer in investing in neutral…

PRETTIES FOR THE KITCHEN

One of the requests I’ve gotten a lot lately from e-clients is for help decorating a kitchen. I tend to gravitate toward the whole “less is more” approach when it comes to kitchens, in that I only display what I actually use on a daily basis – and then find the prettiest options there are…
