JANUARY (p)INSPIRATION
Ah, Pinterest……what would I ever do without you for inspiration? Ever since Insta turned into a never-ending feed of advertisements and reels, Pinterest has retained its title as my favorite source for inspiration, not to mention my preferred social media outlet to fall down a rabbit hole on when I have a few minutes. Typically,…
CHRISTMAS IN THE VILLAGE
Driving around town this week and seeing all the Christmas decorations still up makes my heart so happy; the holiday always flies by while I’m so busy preparing that I feel like I miss out on actually enjoying it as much as I want to. So yesterday morning, I took a little time to slow…
INSPIRED: A TONE-ON-TONE KITCHEN BY DAN SCOTTI DESIGN
East Hampton-based designer Dan Scotti is one of my favorites to follow on Instagram; his tailored spaces effortlessly blend old and new with beautiful tone-on-tone color palettes, lots of texture, clean lines, vintage industrial lighting and a mix of antique and mid-century furniture. His attention to detail is incredible – case in point, the stunning…
INSPIRED DESIGN: LB COPELAND INTERIORS
I recently stumbled upon the portfolio of designer LB Copeland and immediately fell down a beautiful rabbit hole of inspiration. Her spaces are beautifully layered with just about everything I love in interiors – soft and moody color palettes, lots of texture, subtle pattern, antique pieces and plenty of natural light, creating an understated elegance…
LIMELIGHTS ON EVERY CORNER
One of my favorite things about fall in the south is that there is a plethora of limelights still in bloom, everywhere you look! My neighbor has a few twelve – plus foot high bushes and she lets me snip a few from the back; this time last year, every corner, countertop and table was…
LATELY INSPIRED BY
If you guys haven’t seen the latest issue of Frederic Magazine, I highly recommend picking up a copy the next time you’re at the grocery store. Designer Alecia Stevens’ Minnesota farmhouse revamp is absolutely stunning, from the beautifully layered textures, soft colors and patterns to the jaw dropping, light-filled sunroom adjacent to the kitchen. (I…
OCTOBER (p)INSPIRATION
October is one of the most magical months in the fall; the temps hover between the 70’s and 80’s, there’s little humidity and everything is still green. This is the time of year when we eat outside the most, rush home from school to drop our stuff and ride bikes and play baseball until time…
INSPIRED: DEMIJOHN TABLE LAMPS
It’s no secret I’ve had a longstanding love affair with the work of interior designer Steven Gambrel. I’ve flipped through his portfolio when looking for inspiration more times than I can count and I always find something new to fall in love with in his spaces. One of my favorite accessories that he uses in…
BEST OF SUMMER BLOOMS AND A ROUNDUP OF BEAUTIFUL VASES
The only upside to the end of summer, for me, is that there is a plethora of dahlias in bloom to soothe the sadness of my littles returning to school! One of my dear friends started her own flower farm a few years ago and I always looked forward to her end-of-summer subscription for the…
END OF SUMMER FAVORITES THAT EFFORTLESSLY TRANSITION TO FALL
We still have a long way to go until it starts to feel anything like fall around here, so while the temps and humidity are still high, we are still very much in summer mode. Since I’m a perpetual summer girl, I’m the last person on the planet to reach for fall tones and pumpkin…

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve more than likely seen this East Hampton stunner a time or two on my feed. I can’t think of a better way to ease back into blogging than to share one of my personal favorites, Four Elms Cottage, a gorgeous white clapboard beauty, nestled between one hundred year…
SUMMER FAVORITES FOR THE POOL
Ah, sweet summer time! I look forward to this time all school year long….lazy mornings, long days by the pool, wrinkly toes and fingers and best yet – no schedules and nowhere to be but with my littles. The photo below just about sums it up for me – some much-needed downtime with my littles…
