an insta garden to love
If I hadn’t ended up in interiors, I think I would have loved landscape design. For me, there is nothing more satisfying or therapeutic than planting, pulling weeds, trimming bushes, deadheading flowers or picking plants and blooms for my pots. After having lived in this house for seven years now, our landscaping (all of which we planted…
a 19th century farmhouse at the beach
I can’t think of a better way to hop back on the blogging bandwagon than to share an unbelievable 19th century farmhouse in Bridgehampton by design genius Steven Gambrel, which was featured in the latest Elle! I’m obsessed with everything and anything Gambrel does and if there’s anyone still out there visiting the blog anymore, I…
my favorite entertaining books
We’re back from our whirlwind road trip to Newport for the wedding of the centurey and I’ve been so excited to get back to blogging! Amidst the bags to be unpacked and the mountain of laundry to be tackled, I’ve also got to plan a menu and table setting for a small get together this…
the latest swoon worthy hamptons getaway by steven gambrel
Easing back into blogging slowly but surely, and I thought it was the perfect chance to share design genius Steven Gambrel’s latest project, a weekend home in Bridgehampton, which was featured in last month’s Architectural Digest. It’s no secret I’m slightly obsessed with designer Steven Gambrel’s impeccable style; everything he touches is absolute perfection; I…
sarah bartholomew in southern living
When I first read that the home of Nashville-based interior decorator Sarah Bartholomew would be featured in the September issue of Southern Living, I started making extra trips to the mailbox to see when it would finally land in mine. I’ve been a huge fan of Bartholomew’s classic, all-American style, not to mention her love…
one of the prettiest instagram accounts
If a good instagram feed is one where you want to “like” every photo, then Maura Endres (@m.o.endres) has a truly amazing one, because not only do I LOVE each and every photo she posts, but I feel a little like a stalker because I’m constantly going back to sneak more peeks of her stunning…
clean + classic bathroom plans
I think we’re the only people on the planet who are crazy enough to embark on a pretty decent sized renovation while well into my third trimester but, hey, that’s how we roll. I’ve mentioned before that we were in the process of finishing our upstairs and turning it into a full-on guest suite, complete…
4 easy steps to amazing window boxes
I’m dying for a trip to Charleston…..buuuuuut with the heat and humidity being as bad as it is, my very pregnant self is just going to have to wait for much cooler temps for a visit to the Holy City. If you guys have been reading here for a while, you know I fell head…
a swoon worthy summer table setting
There aren’t many color combinations I love as much as blue and white, but navy and blush come in at a very close second (it was the original inspiration behind Lydia’s nursery when I was in the planning stages and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since!) So, when I stumbled upon this summer dinner…
inspiration for bear cub’s nursery
Well, hello 29 weeks! This pregnancy is flying by with lightening speed and I’m trying my best not to panic as there is still an entire guest room set in what is to be Bear Cub’s nursery (we are in the process of finishing a guest suite upstairs and it’s taking FOREVER). We are installing…

Happy Tuesday! I hope you’re all off to a great start this week! I can’t seem to get my head out of weekend mode, so I thought I’d make the delayed transition a little easier with some gorgeous eye candy from one of my favorite Instagram accounts – designer and artist William Rankin McLure IV.…
obsessed: versailles planters
I’ve been pining for a pair of oversize Versailles planters to flank my front door ever since we built our house six years ago. Their classic shape is so elegant and not only do they look amazing with a few coats of high gloss paint but they work in so many design styles, too. Sadly,…
