An Imperfect Holiday, and What’s on Tap for 2017
I hope you enjoyed the holiday season! It feels like ages since I’ve blogged, though it hasn’t been – I just took a short, planned hiatus for the holidays. And yet the holidays went by so fast. I don’t understand how that works! I postponed writing this post until this morning, because I honestly felt…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: ducduc Austin Playtable
I’m fresh out of ideas for last-minute Christmas gifts (and sadly, I could still use a few), so I’m getting back to an ‘evergreen’ approach to Friday Family-Friendly Finds for awhile. Today’s #FFFFind is the Austin Playtable by ducduc. I first discovered this piece at ducduc’s showroom at the New York Design Center earlier this…
Read MoreDear Santa: My Design Book Wish List
For any of you readers who have a designer or interior design aficionado friend or family member in your life, this post is for you! Today I’m laying out a list of my most wanted (and as yet unowned) design books – something old and something new. I’ve checked it twice. Have you been nice?…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Framebridge Custom Print & Frame
How is it Friday again? I don’t know about you, but I am feeling waaaay behind on all things holiday. There is so much to do in the next week, I’m frankly not sure how it is all going to get done. Given my current stressed-out state of mind, I thought I’d share a last-minute…
Read MoreCandelabra Roundup
Nothing sets a mood…and a holiday table…quite like the flickering flames of candles. Last year at Christmas I had green and white striped candles, which were very fun and added a modern element to my more-or-less traditional dining room, but striped candles were a little harder to find this season (i.e. I couldn’t find a…
Read MoreMy Take: Pantone 2017 Color of the Year, “Greenery”
Late last week, Pantone, the cross-industry authority on color (and the standard for color matching in the production of textiles, paint, printing inks, and virtually any consumer product you can imagine) announced its color of the year for 2017. Those who know me well won’t have to guess how I feel about this color. [Apologies…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Minted Little Artist Shelf
The holiday crush is in full swing! This has been a week full of meetings and events and very little time behind my computer (during ‘normal’ business hours, anyway). It’s always nice to take a moment to step back from it all and focus on a single, great home decor product to share with you…
Read MoreRoom Reveal: A Restful Bedroom for (Brand) New Parents
I recently had the opportunity to work with a great couple who I learned (after our first meeting!) was expecting their first child – a boy. I helped with a few decisions for the nursery and other areas, but mostly my focus was decorating their master bedroom in a new construction home in Wellesley. They…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Lexington Warf Street Entertainment Console
Happy, happy Friday, my friends! OK, I’ll keep this short and sweet. I do a lot of family rooms, and am always looking for great-looking media consoles to either visually anchor and balance a wall-mounted TV, or to actually have the TV sit upon it. It’s usually a very Goldilocks search – they’re either too…
Read MoreBehind the Scenes: My HGTV Magazine Photo Shoot
As some of you may already know, my home is a featured ‘House Tour’ in the December issue of HGTV Magazine. I am honestly still pinching myself that I’ve been published in a national magazine. I haven’t even been published in one of the regional New England design magazines! It was not something I expected at…
