New Hardwood Floors and Seagrass Rugs – the Full Reveal!

New Hardwood Floors and Seagrass Rugs – the Full Reveal!

I’m super excited to share this post with you today. I know some of you follow me over on Instagram, and those who do probably know that this past winter we finally took the plunge and ripped out our downstairs carpet and installed hardwood floors. Because of that, I’ve been wanting to do a post sharing the floors for quite awhile now. However, I really wanted to have my rugs in place first, because, let’s face it, rugs can really make the room! And that’s where my problem began. read more

Vintage Baskets and Charming Ways to Display Them

Vintage Baskets and Charming Ways to Display Them

Today’s post is all about vintage baskets! I have always been a fan of baskets. In fact, when I was in 7th grade I was allowed to “decorate” my room all by myself for the first time, and I chose to hang different sized baskets on the wall over my bed. I don’t quite know where I got the idea, but I do remember loving it! I still love baskets, though now I try to buy vintage baskets whenever I can. There is something so charming about them! They have age and patina that the new ones don’t. And the ones with writing, or buckles or straps? Be still my heart! read more

Friday Favorites – Decorating with Animal Hides

Friday Favorites – Decorating with Animal Hides

I’m a little late in coming around to the animal hide trend. For a long time it didn’t speak to me; I guess I wasn’t entirely comfortable with it. But I must confess, it has slowly grown on me! Decorating with animal hides can not only look luxurious, but it also brings much needed texture to a room (something that is often missing in interiors). I’m especially drawn to a zebra or cheetah print rug layered over another natural fiber rug underneath. So chic! read more

Summer Home Tour 2017: Spring into Summer!

Summer Home Tour 2017: Spring into Summer!

Happy “Almost Summer” everyone! Are you getting as excited as I am for some warmer weather and the relaxation that summer brings? I love all the seasons, but there is just something about the carefree, lazy days of summer that I adore. It’s almost as if we all take a collected sigh of relief, and the whole world feels just a little bit lighter. And that’s the vibe I’m going for with my Summer Home Tour this year – lighter, brighter, and relaxing! read more

Friday Favorites – Green in Design

Friday Favorites – Green in Design

Green is =&0=&! Can I tell you how happy I am about this? And not for the reason you may think. I don’t actually care if it’s in style, but I love it, and all the time it was “out” I’ve had the hardest time finding pillows, fabrics, bedding… literally anything in green. What I found was once it was decided it was “out,” fabrics lines and stores like Pottery Barn, Wisteria and Ballard Designs discontinued it. All of it! So I would look at a rug or a pillow and within the 3 or 4 color options, green would never be one of them. When I was changing my master bedroom bedding two years ago, I had such a hard time that I ended up buying my comforter on Ebay! It was a (no shocker here!) discontinued green one from Restoration Hardware! But now it’s back. It’s been named Pantone’s Color of the Year and I’m seeing it more and more which thrills me to no end. Granted, the Pantone color “Greenery” is a brighter, more apple green than the one I’m drawn to, but I truly love any green. And, the fact that it’s been deemed “back” in any shade means we will see more of all of it going forward. I’m still in the middle of making decisions on my own family room re-do and for once, my procrastination has paid off! I originally planned to do it in blues, but now I may do a mix of the two. I adore blue and green together! Green seems cheerful and restorative, especially after the long winter so I suspect that as spring gets closer, we will begin to see it a lot!

I’m such a fan of Brooke Giannetti, and she uses green a lot in her spaces. The subtle touches here are just perfect!

And what if you are not a fan of green? Or, maybe you like it, but you don’t want to change too much or make that big of a commitment. If you have neutral or white interiors, you can incorporate green the natural way with plants or flowers.

This timeless kitchen is in a folder I have a tear outs from magazines – and I’m sure it’s 10 years old but I still love it! Design by Andrew Raquet.

Gorgeous living room with very subtle shades. Love the mirror! Amy Howard via Traditional Home.

This isn’t new, of course, but this cover of The Houses of Veranda with it’s subtle touches of greens, blues and blue/greens is amazing!


A lovely and serene bedroom by Brooke Giannetti. Her rooms are always soft and subtle.
