Adjustable Height Standing Desk Round-Up and Buying Guide
Working from home. It has become a way of life for those of us who are fortunate enough to be able to do so. And even as life begins to get back to normal in many states – or, the ‘new normal’ – it is likely that we will be continuing to work from home…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Oomph Backgammon Table
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: 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…

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 MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Dowel Furniture Bastille Counter Stool
My designer friend Barbara Elza Hirsch, of Elza B Design, recently launched her debut furniture collection – Bois et Coleur (Wood and Color – just don’t ask me to pronounce it – I’m a Spanish/Italian gal 🙂 ) – with Dowel Furniture. I was naturally excited to see the collection, and, not surprisingly, it is…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Incy Metal Cribs
So glad to be back after a little six-week ‘vacation’ for Friday Family-Friendly Finds! When I did the One Room Challenge last fall, I had just started this feature, so I kept doing them and had three blog posts per week during that time. It was a little too much! Anyway, I’m happy to feature…
Read MoreBefore & After: “The Yes Chair” for IFDA Take a Seat
It killed me to miss my Tuesday blog post last week. So much going on – all good stuff though, so no complaining here! One of those things was the kickoff of IFDA New England Take a Seat; for which I have created a chair. Area designers have concocted creative chairs (23 of them!) that…
Read MoreDesigner Sale!
There is no doubt about it – I am in purge mode. Getting ready for a home renovation will do that. I wish I was the kind of person that could really go all out and ruthlessly throw things away. That would be so liberating. I’m doing my best to make good decisions. So many…
