Over the past few months of creating Nancy Meyers-inspired content and posts, I’ve learned one thing: that I’m not the only super fan out there. The cozy, organic, casual aesthetic she has created with her…
Calling all Nancy Meyers fans! A few posts back, I introduced you to the main character of my novel House in Bloom, Dhalia Newberry. She is the “coastal niece” of Lil Prescott. With the recent…
I can’t believe it took me this long to come up with “Aspen Holiday” as a Christmas concept! While recently rummaging through my husband’s old boxes from his Aspen days, I found lots of goodies,…
Winston Churchill once said, “we make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” Over the years I’ve tried to give back professionally whenever possible, whether it be the…
I can’t think of a better way to kick off summer than with a preppy modern makeover. If you remember I announced some major news a few months ago about starting my own fabric line….
The master bedroom is always the last to get attention, isn’t it?! When we moved into our house it took a long time for our MB to even look remotely presentable. We went slowly and…
Hi there friends! One of my goals for the next year is to give you more diversification when it comes to design. To give you more ideas outside my own 4 walls. The easiest way to do that is to create looks with mood boards and direct links to sources. Mood boards can be incredibly helpful for focusing in on a look; the furnishings, fabrics, woods, hues, balance of textures, art, etc…It also keeps you on track because you have a visual. Honestly, I wish I did this for every room in my house when we moved in, it would have saved me a ton of time & money! It is also a good tool to keep your house feeling cohesive.
I have been back and forth on something & thought I would share with you my dilemma in the hopes it brings clarity. There has been a lot of debate as to whether or not to switch up my dining room for a den/study area. I really do LOVE my dining room but it is rarely used. Most of our dinners are spent at our kitchen bar and if we have small gatherings it is spent in the kitchen huddled around the bar. On birthdays and holidays, when we host we do use it but I know I can create other seating areas to compensate.
Hi there friends! I am finally ready to share the inspiration board for Jack’s room! I probably should have done this a little sooner as we are almost ready for the reveal but never the less, I think it’s nice to see the design elements separately in a mood board. We were going for a functional space that felt fresh, playful and modern, oh yeah and coastal too. We live coastally and it’s a huge part of our life, through every season we find ways to explore the beach plus Jack LOVES ocean life so I thought let’s do a modern take on coastal with a surf + turf color palette would make it feel naturally connected.
Hi friends! I hope your week is off to a great start. Last week we had our winter break, so we were home for a few days and then mixed it up by heading HERE for a long weekend. It is a…
