ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: KATHERINE FREEMAN NAKED GIRLIES
Instagram has been such an incredible resource for finding artists, home boutiques and inspiring bloggers but it’s also been such a fantastic way to “meet” new friends! Abstract artist Katherine Freeman happens to fall into both of these categories; she is as bright and beautiful as her paintings, which have such a way of drawing…
LOVING LATELY FOR LYDIA’S ROOM
The upside to quarantine has been all this time we’ve gotten to spend together as a family; in the seventeen years my husband and I have been together, we have never, in all that time, spent so many days consecutively under one roof, it was truly an experience! One of the down sides, however, was,…
shower curtain trick
I finally got around to hanging some art in the upstairs guest room bathroom over the weekend (for those asking, it’s a nautical chart that my hubby used to navigate the Intracoastal years ago that I framed!) I’ve always loved this bathroom but it never ceases to amaze me how even a single piece of…
all your questions about our pool (and some new sod!)
If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you’re probably tired of seeing photos of our pool in my feed and my stories, but since I’m in complete denial that summer is officially/technically coming to a close here very soon (and since it’s going to be a while before it starts to feel like Fall here in…
5 easy + inexpensive ways to make a big decorating impact
I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to spend a fortune to make a big decorating impact in your home. Some of my favorite ways to do so not only happen to be some of the most budget-friendly but also pretty easy to incorporate. I’m usually working on pretty tight budgets with clients so…
lydia’s window treatment details
Lydia’s room is, by far, the happiest in our whole house and, even though I feel a little bit guilyy that I focus so much on her room when Luca still doesn’t technically have fully complete quarters of his own, I love that every time I post a shot of her sweet little space or…
where to find my water hyacinth baskets + a lookalike that’s on sale!
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend; the highlight of mine was finally getting to see the Greatest Showman and it was absolutely AMAZING! I couldn’t download the soundtrack fast enough; if you haven’t seen it already, I highly, HIGHLY recommend! If you follow me over on Instagram, you’ve probably seen a pic…
my house at christmas
As I write this, there are only four more sleeps until Christmas, so I thought I’d take a break from all the wrapping and toy assembling (there is SO much to put together!) to post a few snaps from around our house this year at Christmas! I like to keep my Christmas decorations like the…
a vintage JB Van Sciver bamboo bed for Lydia
I’m a firm believer that good things come to those who wait – or, in my case, when you aren’t even looking in the first place! It seems like whenever I’m on the hunt for something in particular, I always come up empty handed, but my best finds to date have always been popped up when…
new lantern lighting for my kitchen
This post is a LONG time coming – and not just because it’s been forever since I’ve blogged! It’s taken me seven years to make up my mind on a chandelier for my breakfast nook and then find one I won’t get tired of as soon as it’s installed, but I’m excited to say I’ve…
new foyer lamps + how to create a “zinc” finish
Three blog posts in one week, can you believe it? I’m still behind on laundry by three loads, but I have to say, it feels soooooo good to be back to blogging on what I hope I can make a regular basis! On the heels of Wednesday’s post, I still have lighting on the brain,…
beating the winter decorating blah’s with houseplants
Hello, blogland; so nice to see you again! I hope you’re all off to a great start in 2017! The last few weeks of the year really kicked my butt; Luca ended up hospitalized with RSV – anyone with an infant that has gotten it can tell you it’s an absolutely devastating experience; it’s been…
