Blue + Brass
Thank you for all of your kind comments on my One Room Challenge plans last week! It’s always nice to hear words of encouragement from so many folks, many of whom are taking on the challenge themselves! I look forward to providing another update on Thursday – I’ve actually made quite a bit of progress…
Read MoreOne Room Challenge – Week 1
I’m participating in the “One Room Challenge,” which is again taking the design blog world by storm this spring (thanks to founder and hostess-with-the-mostest, Linda at Calling it Home). Basically, between today and six weeks from now (Thursday, May 7), I, along with loads of other bloggers, will be transforming a space in my own…
Read MoreEamon’s Vintage Americana Nursery Tour
I’m pretty much still floored that my work was featured in the Boston Globe today (check out the online version here). I’ve been working hard to develop my portfolio, and of course hoped (dreamed!) to be published sometime in the distant future, but I honestly had no idea it would happen now. I’m so grateful. Especially…
Read MoreBefore + After: Lightened-Up Tudor Reveal!
I am really excited to share with you a project very near and dear to my heart. It is so special to me because it gets to the heart of why I became a decorator in the first place. In fact, it’s the home of the person who inspired me to pursue interior design. Several years…
Read MoreBefore + After: Window Treatment Transformations at Home
I almost hesitate to write this post, because the previous owners of our home (and their interior designer) did such a lovely job of decorating and maintaining it, before we took over stewardship of this 1896 Victorian Colonial Revival home last year. The “before” pictures you see here – from the MLS listing – are…

I have a Google alert set up for “family-friendly interiors” so I can keep up with what other designers and decorators are doing that they consider to be Interiors For Families. I could get fancier and more comprehensive with my keywords, but I haven’t – and interestingly, it’s a pretty quiet feed. There was a…
Read MoreAn Interview With Eric Roth
I recently had the opportunity to work with one of the best and most experienced interior and architectural photographers in the business – Eric Roth. He produced all of the images in my online portfolio, but is of course far better known for his spectacular work for little shelter magazines like Traditional Home, Elle Decor,…
Read MoreAn Outdoor Rug – Help Me Decide!
For the first time ever, my husband and I have purchased outdoor furniture. We are new to having usable outdoor dining space, and are really looking forward to entertaining friends and family “al fresco.” For now, we have a deck – though in the future we will dine on a stone patio of some sort (more…
Read MoreLiving Room Reveal: Formal and Family-Friendly
As some of you who follow me on Facebook and elsewhere may have already seen, I recently launched a brand new website, complete with a refreshed portfolio which reflects some of my most recent work. The latest addition to my online portfolio is my own living room, situated in what would have been the main parlor…
Read MoreHigh Point Spring 2014 Trend #1: Classically Inspired
Although my last day at the High Point spring home furnishings market was Saturday, I’m just now getting around to uploading all of my pictures, and downloading my readers on all of the amazing things I saw and did there. I am planning a few posts around different design trends I picked up on –…
