New Modern Rustic Outdoor Privacy Screen + The Rest Of My Patio

Hi there friends! Today is the day, I am finally sharing my new outdoor privacy screen!! It’s a nice blend of modern & rustic and it gives us a little more privacy from the road. We live on a corner lot across from the bay on a very small piece of property. So any additional coverage that makes it feel like a retreat away from the rest of the world is exactly what we need.

Linen + Leather: Den Reveal (Part 1)

Today is the day, I am finally revealing my new den! After months of anticipation & decision-making I am happy to say it is almost finished and we couldn’t be happier about the switch up. As I was editing the photos it occurred to me the texture combo was why I loved this space so much, hence linen & leather. I am so thrilled to be partnering with Article on this room. Their mid-century tufted sofa was the jumping off point and inspired the rustic modern mix of textures, styles and accessories.

Hamptons Open House-Amagansett Modern Farmhouse

Growing up we spent a good deal of time in the “Hamptons.” We weren’t of wealth or prominence we just liked spending time out there. Of course it was different back then but more or less the same. My aunt & uncle lived in Southampton and we spent a few weeks of the summer with friends in Montauk. And then on those occasions we drove out as a family to walk the quaint streets of East Hampton, Sag Harbor and/or Amagansett to end the evening with a nice dinner. Fast forward a few decades and we are still doing the same thing. Only this time there is a little real-estate stalking involved, haha.

DIY Floating Bench + Modern Farmhouse Finish

I came back from Haven a few weeks ago with this “I can” attitude and decided I am finally going to DIY the floating bench under my stairs that I have been wanting to do for a long while but was scared. And I am so glad I did!!! I am not sure what I was scared of but I do realize the best way to tackle fear is by just going for it, with a detailed plan of course!

Chippendale Chairs + A Connection To The Past

When I was little I remember going to my Nan & Grandpa’s house and always feeling right at home. My grandmother, lovingly referred to as “Nanny” had impeccable taste all around. She was always dressed to the T and her independent spirit was always way ahead of her time. Her home reflected her boldness for life as it was layered in pieces from their travels, along with an eclectic mix of color & styles. I recently found out that she was actually a DIYer , she was famous for stripping a piece of furniture and making homemade pasta all in one day. This was pretty cool to hear, I often wish I could know her back then, I bet we would have…
