I’ve never been to the Hamptons, but I know I would be just darling at living there.  Shingle-style cottages, a great mix of modern and rustic interiors with just a little bit of blue and white thrown in for good measure?  Yes, please!  This 19th century cottage in Sag Harbor is home to Bloom antique…

I finally got a chance to sift through the three-foot high stack of design magazines that have been acting as a makeshift side table next to my sofa the other day and I have to say, the June issue of Architectural Digest is KILLING me softly, it’s so good!  As soon as I landed upon…

The super cold weather I wished for over Christmas is finally here and I couldn’t be happier!  Is it just me or does winter weather make you want to paint everything in your house white and layer with tons of texture?  This weekend house on the North Fork of Long Island, which was recently featured…

ina’s napa valley rental + a love of 5-inch cabinet pulls

My love for Ina Garten knows no bounds; I have yet to try a recipe of hers that hasn’t turned out amazingly well and I love the peeks of her Hamptons home in each episode as much as I love all of her food!  Last year, she filmed a series in a rented home in…
