Friday Family-Friendly Find: Stone Forest Copper/Stainless Steel Farmhouse Sink
As you likely already know, when it comes to kitchens, I am all about practicality. Which is probably why it’s never crossed my mind to incorporate a gorgeous, old-worldy copper sink into any of my designs. They are SO beautiful, but do require some special care if you want to maintain the finish in a…

Friday has not been this much of a relief in a long time! I’ve been away from the blog for just a bit as I got through what I knew would be a challenging week or so, between the opening of show house (still open until November 5th!), and the prep and kickoff of Heading…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: The New Traditionalists Console No. 90
A couple of years ago, I visited my sister in NYC (solo!!), and spent a Friday at the New York Design Center while waiting for her to wrap up work for the weekend. It was cool to visit showrooms and see lines we don’t have here in Boston, some of which also don’t show at…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: O&G Studio Hooks for Rejuvenation
Happy Friday! These days it’s been pretty tough to fit in the blog posts, and I’ve been writing them at funny times as a result. But I’m determined to keep up the twice-weekly frequency as much as possible. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I do writing (it may be hard to work…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Schumacher High Performance Silk Velvet
If there are two words in the world of decorating more diametrically opposed than “performance” and “silk,” I challenge you to come up with them. In fact, silk is so fraught with issues – lack of abrasion resistance, brittleness/deterioration when exposed to sunlight, vulnerability to ‘water stains,’ and extremely difficult to clean, just to name…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Torlys EverWood LVT Flooring
For the second consecutive week, I am featuring a flooring product as my #FFFFind. Coincidence? Not a chance. I’m locking in final flooring decisions on our home renovation right now, so what’s underfoot is currently on the brain. Today I thought I’d share a find I’ve used in a recent project, and will be using…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Merida Ultrafiber Sisal Carpet
I have long had a love-hate relationship with sisal. Love: Look Texture Layers beautifully Natural Don’t Love: Stains Like, don’t even bother trying to clean it…it’s never coming out I’ve used sisal very infrequently for this reason, and haven’t used it at all in the past few years. And, until a few weeks ago, I…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Rohl Hex Hands-Free Bathroom Faucet
I’m sure I’m not the only one among us in the trenches with small children who are, well, not the most reliable hand washers. Every time I am in there with them showing them how to do a thorough job, literally all I can think about is how dirty my hands will be again as…
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 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…
