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…
steven gambrel’s 18th century sea captain’s house
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a house tour, but it hasn’t been for lack of trying to find something worthy to write about, I promise. It’s been my experience that oldies really are goodies and that the homes I find the most inspirational are those whose design and style withstand the true test…
instagram inspiration: rachel parcell of pink peonies
Part of the fun of following people on Instagram are the sneaky little peeks into their humble (and sometimes not so humble) abodes – the really, really good ones never really give whole room reveals, instead styling glimpses here and there of a little niche and when it’s particularly good, it leaves you craving more! …
inspired by: summer whites
I’ve been wearing a lot of white lately, and all the little white eyelet dresses I’ve been stockpiling for Baby Girl over the last few months have come in handy for matching! Summer is the time for lightening up, as much for your wardrobe as for your home, and white is just so fresh and…
get the look: an oldie but goodie
There are some interiors that are just so good, so timeless, so perfectly executed, that whenever you come across them, whether by flipping through old magazines or browsing Pinterest, you just have to stop to admire all over again all the things that made you love the space in the first place. For me, this…
a little outdoor slice of heaven
If there’s anything I love more than a beautifully weathered, shingle-style chic cottage, it’s an equally beautiful porch or patio in which to enjoy said cottage. I’m sure by now you’ve all seen Chris Burch’s Southampton home tour that was featured in Architectural Digest a while back, but Mackenzie Horan’s personal photos of the exterior…
obsessed: lutyens bench, take 2
When it comes to garden inspiration, I LOVE the idea of complimenting gorgeous landcaping with a beautiful garden bench. The idea of sitting for a spell to enjoy and admire all your hard work is just heaven to me (especially now that baby girl is so mobile!) I have long been obsessed with and will…
classic american style: howie guja
I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day and got to spend the long weekend with those you love! I absolutely loved seeing all the flags out on our walk and drive yesterday; I only wish more people would fly them year-round-such a great way to show pride in being an American! And speaking…
green + white in the garden
It’s that time of year again when I go overboard and load up on more perennials, annuals and basically anything that flowers to give my yard, porch and pots a spring pick-me-up! While I always end up with a ton of color in my landscaping – knockout roses, lantana, daylilies, sweet potato vine, purple queen,…
lovely lavender: any tips for making it thrive in the south?
When it comes to landscaping, I tend to stick with what has proven successful in the past: plants, flowers and perennials that are drought-resistant, low maintenance and high drama. These have worked so well for me in the past that I haven’t been all that open to branching out and trying new varieties of plants. …
