How to Mix Metals Like a Boss (Keep Calm & Carry On)
Undoubtedly, you’ve at least noticed a lot of kitchens and bathrooms (for the purpose of this post, I’m keeping my focus on these rooms) on Pinterest, in shelter magazines, and on Instagram sporting multiple metal finishes. Mixing metals is an interior design technique on the rise and one that is, I believe, here to stay.…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: CR Laine Liv Daybed
This week’s find isn’t new to me, as it is a piece of furniture I used in a client project a couple of years ago. I’m working with the same client again on a new project (their very cool pool house), and she keeps telling me how beloved it is, especially by her teenage boys,…
Read MoreDay 92: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation)
Where do I begin? The past week has been somewhat of a blur. So much so that I completely overlooked Friday as a blogging day, and didn’t even think of it until Saturday night. Thanks so much to those who sent so many nice comments my way here on the blog, on Facebook and IG…
Read MoreProject Reveal: Lexington Green
I am just returned from some time away with family in York Harbor, Maine, where we travel each July 4th week. I was able to keep work to a minimum, and I made the decision to push that reset button down a little further and also take the week off from blogging. Now I’m back…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Land of Nod Squared Up Step Stool
If you have (or had) small children, odds are you’ve got one or several plastic step stools scattered throughout your house. They perform a very important task – helping kids do things independently, like go to the bathroom, wash their hands, reach items in their closet or dresser, help in the kitchen, etc. Unfortunately, however…

The Junior League of Boston Show House is back again this year, after a successful event last spring, for which I was honored to transform a blank, crumbling space into a warm and vibrant mother-in-law bedroom. This year’s show house will be held this fall, and I’m so pleased to announce I will be participating…

I can’t believe it’s Friday already…again! My how time does indeed march on. And when it’s Friday around here, that can only mean one thing. Wine drinking commences at 4PM. Ha – kidding! Sort of. Fridays are for Family-Friendly Finds, silly! This week’s #FFFFind is not the first ottoman I’ve featured, but it is delightfully…
Read MoreDay 64: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation)
How exciting – I’m at the point in this process where I can post renovation updates in consecutive weeks, and not have them be totally redundant! Last week, it was all about excavation and the footings being poured. After that, things continued to move quickly. The next day, the forms went up for the foundation…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Giardini di Sole Roberta Pitcher & St. Tropez Dinner Set
Finding attractive tableware that is also shatterproof and easily handled by a child is no easy feat. I don’t know about you, but my cupboards are full of Paw Patrol and Thomas plates, mismatched ‘Take and Toss’ cups and tops, and a slew of other items I cannot wait to get rid of when we…
Read MoreDay 57: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation)
It’s been about a month or so since I’ve blogged about our renovation, mainly because I’ve been waiting until something ‘exciting’ happened. Day 1 was amazing – interior demo was swift and ruthless! Reminder… Days 2 through 50 or so seemed to drag on. Although progress was definitely happening, it was just not as visible…
