outdoor dreaming: gil schafer

We’ve been visiting my dad at the beach since last Friday and it’s been heaven.  The temperature is in the 70’s, the sun is shining and, I’ve got green on the mind, which is fitting, being that today is St. Patty’s Day (Happy St. Patty’s Day to all my Irish friends!!)  I am literally aching…

charleston fix

I know I shouldn’t complain about all this rainy, gray gloominess when a lot of you are stuck under piles of snow, but seriously…the lack of sun is starting to make me a little crazy!  I’ve been dreaming of a quick weekend getaway to Charleston lately and think it would do wonders for my mood,…

elements of an amazing entry

I’ve got beautiful entries and foyers on the brain lately; it seems like that’s all that keeps popping up on Pinterest as of late and I’m absolutely obsessed with every last detail that have passed through my feed!  Entries are one of my favorite rooms to style not only because it’s the first room people…

attic inspiration: tamara kaye honey

We’ve been dragging our heels about finishing our upstairs bonus room for a while now, but after seeing LA-based interior designer Tamara Kaye Honey’s STUNNING attic-turned-master bath remodel in the latest issue of Lonny, I’ve got stars in my eyes and major motivation to get my butt in gear! Beautiful brass accents and warm wood…

inspired: blue interior doors

It’s been so long since we’ve seen the sun around these parts, it’s starting to feel like we live in the Pacific Northwest.  I may be loving the cold weather, but I’m definitely craving a pop of soft color to liven things up a bit around here. I posted a picture on Instagram the other…

hgtv dream house – martha’s vineyard

Have you guys seen the HGTV dream home on Martha’s Vineyard yet?  Let me tell you, it’s good.  Really good.  When it comes to beach houses, I’ll take small and cozy over sprawling McMansions any day of the week, but surprisingly, this home, despite its size, really does have a cottage feel.  It’s classic New…

get the look: sleek mountain house

Let’s take a break from the Christmas posts and tour what is probably the most amazing mountain house I’ve ever seen, shall we?  I’ve always had a bit of an obsession with a getaway in the mountains in the dead of winter.  There’s something so comfy and cozy about holing up in a cabin in…

instagram inspiration: gadabout

One of my favorite house tours was a few years ago when Glitter Guide did a feature on then Charleston-based graphic designer Hanna Seabrook’s beautiful home.  Aside from having the perfect, lived-in, layered look, what I loved most about her home was how she blended heirloom pieces with more modern finds for a young, fresh feel…

beautiful in bridgehampton

I’m a little behind in making my way through the last few month’s worth of design magazines (my stack is now twice as high as the basket they sit in!) so, last night I popped open a bottle of wine and started flipping through a couple and right away this renovated 19th century farmhouse in…

If you aren’t familiar with interior design duo Becki Owens and Nicole Davis of Owens + Davis, you need to check out their portfolio, blog and Instagram immediately!  I used to follow Davis back when she penned the blog Me Oh My Mama and I’m thrilled to see the magic she and co-founder Owens have…

a little bit of leopard

I’m a firm believer that every girl needs a little bit of leopard in her life.  For me, it all started with a fabulous pair of calf skin leopard print heels I got for my birthday and since, I’ve been in love with mixing the print in my wardrobe as well as home decor.  As…

instagram inspiration: amy mcgee

The last few nights have been brutal, friends.  I seriously am dumbfounded at how my nine month old has the energy to run baby marathons every day with little nighttime sleep and less than 45-minute naps!  Last night, after another two hour stretch of trying to put the kabosh on her dance party, I took…
