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…
