FRIDAY FIVE
The weather has been so glorious this entire week, it’s felt more like full-on spring than February! We’re heading into the weekend with absolutely nothing on our schedule except lots of time outside, trying some new recipes and finishing putting up the rest of our Valentine’s Day decor. Every year, my kiddos cut out construction…
FEBRUARY (p)INSPIRATION
Kicking off the first week of a new month with more of the same old design inspo – lots of silvered cedar shakes, fresh greenery, tailored architectural details, soft color palettes, classic silhouettes. Pinterest continues to reign supreme as my favorite social media platform; the calendar may have flipped over to another new month, but…
FRIDAY FIVE
Happy Friday and Happy Last Day of January! I’ve been slowly but surely making my way through as many nooks and crannies of our house this week, purging clutter, trying to organize toys and make my fifteenth run to drop off a few bags to donation. I still have so many spots to hit that…
BUDGET-FRIENDLY DESIGN FINDS FOR THE HOME
Today I’m sharing a roundup of design finds for the home that give off high price tag vibes, but are actually super budget-friendly. I love a fabulous home decor score and, while most of mine have come from thrift, consignment and antique stores the past few years, I can’t resist a design find from a…
TEN THINGS I’M LOVING LATELY – JANUARY
Despite being a self-proclaimed eternal summer girl, I absolutely love the month of January. It’s the coldest month of the year here in North Carolina and it’s just perfect for nesting, cozying up and recharging my batteries from the holiday season. Today I’m sharing ten things I’m loving lately and, hopefully, I’ll be able to…
IN & OUT IN 2025
I’ve never been one for New Year’s resolutions, but I have so enjoyed seeing everyone else’s picks for what will be in and out in 2025 that I pulled together some of my own (a few weeks late, per my usual, but better late than never!) I’d say this is less trend prediction, per say,…
JANUARY (p)INSPIRATION
Happy New Year and Happy Epiphany! I hope you’re all off to a great start in this New Year; I’m coming off of a wonderful two weeks away from social media having spent the most amazing time with family and just relaxing and unwinding from the happy whirlwind of Christmas! The littles went back to…
GET THE LOOK: SAG HARBOR SEA CAPTAIN’S COTTAGE
It’s no secret I have a mild love affair with the work of interior designer Steven Gambrel. If you guys have been hanging around here for a while, you know his sea captain’s cottage in Sag Harbor is an absolute favorite of mine, one that I am always drawing inspiration from and one that I’m…
SWAPPING CAN LIGHTING FOR FLUSH MOUNTS
Lighting is one of the most important details of any room; layering table lamps, floor lamps, sconces and pendant lighting is such a great way to create warmth and coziness to any space. Recessed lighting, while definitely functional, is lacking in style or any kind of visual appeal, not to mention that, even with dimmers,…
LATE SUMMER FAVORITES INSPIRED BY THE AMALFI COAST
My littles started school last week and I’m still in complete denial that summer break is officially over. We are still very much embroiled in summer heat and humidity around these parts, so I’m no way near ready for talk of pumpkin-scented everything and cable knit sweaters. Mentally, I’m on the Amalfi Coast, sipping a…
FOUR COOKBOOKS TO ADD TO YOUR SHELF
The summer is my favorite time of the year to try out new recipes, especially during this season of motherhood when my oldest is so interested in learning how to cook. Normally, I would just love to throw some chicken or steaks on the grill and put together a loaded salad and call it a…
AUGUST (p)INSPIRATION
Pinterest remains one of my favorite guilty pleasures/rabbit holes to fall down after the kiddos go to bed at night. All the snaps of the Amalfi Coast, silvered cedar shake houses lined with perfectly poised boxwoods, alfresco dining, lots of muted greens and blues…basically the same things I’ve been pining all year round, regardless of…
