designer love: kelly mcguill home
I’m so overwhelmed with making my way through my Christmas to-do list that I thought I’d take a break from all the holiday stuff and post some gorgeous, non-Christmas eye candy, instead! I’ve been a huge fan of Boston-based interior designer and stylist Kelly McGuill for some time now; I love her simple, classic aesthetic…
at home in the garden with carolyn roehm
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine passed so quickly, I feel like the last three days were a complete blur. A highlight was reading this article by One King’s Lane on the release of Carolyn Roehm’s latest book, At Home in the Garden, complete with some of the prettiest images…
carrier + company: positively chic interiors
There is nothing I love more than curling up with a glass of wine and reading a beautiful interior design book after little miss goes to bed. With all the new design books that have debuted this year, I realized I was quite behind in nabbing some for myself so I hopped on to Amazon…
decorating around a white dining table
I was catching up on my Pinterest feed late the other night (thank you, insomnia!) when I stumbled upon an image of foodie extraordinaire Katie Lee’s dining room in her former Manhattan abode. I know we’ve all seen this image (as well as the rest of her home) a million times, but what really caught…
inspired design: matthew caughy
It doesn’t matter the time of year or how cold it may be outside, I am always influenced by the sea and I love bringing small bits of it into my home year round, so it’s no surprise I was instantly smitten with the sea-inspired portfolio of New York-based interior designer Matthew Caughy. His style…
new old stone house
Anyone who has ever built a home from the ground up or embarked upon a renovation or full-on gut job can tell you that progress can be excrutiatingly slow. And while it can be a long time before rooms start to look like habitable spaces, it’s the little victories that come in the form of…
inspired: sarah bartholomew designs
When I was pregnant with Lydia, I firmly believed that keeping all baby paraphernalia to one location in my beautiful, PAINSTAKINGLY decorated home would be a piece of cake, despite ALL my friends warning me to the contrary. I guess it took being thrown into the lion’s den to fully realize what I was dealing…
the master of moody blues
The way this week is going, it feels like it should have been Friday two days ago. I had a whole painting tutorial set up for today and after signing in this morning and discovering it had completely disappeared, I’m throwing in the towel and posting some serious eye candy, instead. Grr…. Last weekend, I…
forever chic: ralph lauren
I was going through some old shelter mags over the weekend and found an issue of House Beautiful from November 2004 featuring the Hampton’s Showhouse designed that year by Ralph Lauren. I couldn’t put it down, constantly taking little peeks all weekend! The design, decor and styling is a testament to Lauren’s forever timeless, tailored…
gallery ledges + tips for styling them
I LOVE a good gallery wall, but the truth is, hanging a bunch of pictures and making them look good can be tough – even for someone like me, who has hung more than my fair share. Not to mention the fact that banging in that first nail is enough to give most people heart…
fall inspired: heather bullard
This may be the first year in my entire life that I’m not hanging on to summer with a vengeance. It’s kind of hard to get excited for Fall when it’s still in the high 80’s and low-to-mid 90’s and yet, I’m dreaming of soft sweaters, heirloom pumpkins, and the gorgeous country home of Heather Bullard. …
insta good: steven gambrel
If you guys have been reading here for a while, you know I have a slight obsession with the work of interior designer Steven Gambrel. So, it was only natural that I would find him on Instagram and proceed to drool over progress pics of his current projects and, best of all, detail shots of vignettes and spaces inside…
