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…
DREAM HOUSE: FOUR ELMS COTTAGE IN EAST HAMPTON
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…
SUMMER (PIN)SPIRATION
Falling down a rabbit hole on Pinterest at night after the littles go to bed has become a favorite pasttime as of late and it’s quite obvious where my mind is lately, with the pins I’ve been saving! The one thing I do love most about Pinterest is that, the more you pin certain types…
SUMMER INSPIRATION
Just popping in quick to share some summer inspiration in the form of cedar shake beauties, lots of garden goodness, lacquered Dutch doors, pea gravel drives and subtle nautical details (naturally). The past few weeks it seems like there’s been a lot of repetition in my Instagram feed, so I’ve been reverting to the folders…
GET THE LOOK: SAG HARBOR SPRING TABLE SETTING
I asked on Instagram last weekend what kind of posts you’d like to see here on the blog and an overwhelming number of you requested more table settings with sources for getting a similar look! I feel like I post quite a few of my settings on a regular basis, but if more is what…
CHARMING CHARLESTON: WINDOW BOX PERFECTION
We’re planning a quick weekend trip back to the Holy City before the blazing heat hits and, since I have gardens and landscaping on my mind 24/7 lately, I thought I’d share some snaps from some of the most beautiful window boxes from our favorite city! I’ve posted pics from our trips before but I’m…
OUTDOOR FAVORITES FOR SPRING + SUMMER
Spring is on its way out the door, as the heat and humidity are quickly on their way in, so we are currently all about cleaning up the yard, flower beds and waiting patiently for the last of the pollen to clear so we can power wash the exterior and move full-on into summer mode!…
