First, I cannot believe I haven’t posted in a month! I’ve been busy, but that’s no excuse! Sorry! Anyway, the question on deck is this: can formal decorating still be family friendly? It’s a comment/lament I hear from families so often – that they can’t have anything nice because their kids (or pets) will destroy … Read more

Recently, I was reading through some comment boards on Houzz and came across a discussion about Designer’s Net Price. There seemed to be a general lack of understanding about how designers are charged for merchandise. This isn’t new, designers and decorators are often asked about “our price” and whether we pass it along to our … Read more

Okay, so in my previous post on Outlander Season 4, I said that I wasn’t sure about the accuracy of the set design. Accuracy, or lack thereof, is probably a strong word – we are talking about a story that involves time travel. I did, however, think it would be interesting to compare the production’s … Read more

One of the things I love about the … Read more

“Perhaps the World Ends Here” by Joy Harjo. I came across this poem it really felt right to me this Thanksgiving. Time growing up at the kitchen table with my family is some of the most precious time of my life. Holidays were spent gathered round, enjoying a meal and the comfort of loved ones. … Read more

One of my favorite design tricks is the use of a small side table. I love a tiny table! Now, admittedly some tables aren’t really that “tiny”, but they are notable because they can be easily moved around. I credit this beautiful room above, designed by Vicente Wolf, for kicking off my love of a … Read more

I wanted to share this beautiful antique Cape Cod home – an 1815 brick Federal style house that’s on the market in Sandwich, MA. My parent’s lived in Sandwich for 30 years and I’ve been by this house a million times. I love it when I finally get to see inside and am happy with … Read more
