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…

inspired: owens + davis

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…

8 amazing entries

We’re about to give our entryway a little love and make some easy, inexpensive changes for some serious impact (can’t wait to show you!) As a result, I’ve been stalking my way through pinterest getting ideas and really, just satisfying my thirst for eye candy in the middle of the night when I’ve been up…

inspired: shiplap walls

We are in the process of adding an en-suite to our upstairs and while certain aspects of the design are still up in the air, I’m leaning heavily toward one thing for certain: planked, or “shiplap” walls in crisp white paint!  I really want a light, bright space, so instead of plain, white painted walls,…

ralph lauren paint is back at home depot!

The day Home Depot stopped carrying Ralph Lauren paint in order to make room for Martha Stewart’s line was, indeed, a sad one for me.  They had the most brilliant, saturated color palettes in every beautiful color from soft whites to the deepest, darkest, moodiest of blues.  Hoarding their paint swatches was the best part…
