How to Design With: Painted Terra Cotta Tile
This is the very first article in what I hope will be an informative and enjoyable series of posts, which will be published about once a month. With each article, I’ll explore ‘How to Design With” a specific type of material, finish, furnishing, or accessory for your home. I’ll be sure to include my thoughts…
Read More9 Granites That Just Might Make You Stop Hating on Granite
As far as countertop materials go, I think it is safe to say that granite has fallen out of favor. Quartz, quartzite and marble are generally more coveted by homeowners and home buyers. Of course, I am overgeneralizing (with the alternatives, as well). And therein lies the issue with granite. When you see or hear…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Le Creuset Signature Cast-Iron Round Dutch Oven
Well hello there! It’s been an embarrassingly long time since I’ve written here. So long, in fact, that I am considering this a ‘relaunch’ of Interiors for Families. I’ve truly missed writing here, and making connections with my readers. With the world in various states of lockdown and quarantine due to the coronavirus pandemic, now…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Antolini Azerocare Natural Stone
As you know, I am always on the lookout for innovative products – new and exciting, or just flying under the radar – and I try as much as possible to ‘battle test’ things I’m not quite sure about on myself (and my two-boy destruction crew…they roll deep). I created Friday Family-Friendly Finds to share…
Read MoreHow I Survived My Kitchen (& Home) Renovation
Well, hello there! I’m just emerging from an extended pause, which I’m going to blame on my home renovation. The last month or so, leading up to and of course including the holiday season, was memorable, and incredibly stressful. That being said, it was also mission accomplished. We began work on the project in April,…
Read MoreArtistic Genius and Serendipity
This is the second installment in my Junior League of Boston 2017 Designer Show House ‘week of gratitude,’ where I’m blogging about the partners, sponsors, and donors who were so generous with their talents and/or products. And today is all about the art! Little known fact: I was an art history major in college. Which…
Read MoreFriday 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…

I’m still not fully believing it is Friday again already. But that’s what my calendar is telling me, so I suppose there’s no denying it. I’m pretty sure it’s Monday, actually – it feels that way, after I inadvertently prematurely published those first two sentences yesterday (on Thursday). Oops. I wish it were a Sunday.…
Read MoreJunior League of Boston 2017 Show House
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…
Read MoreProject Update: Waban Custom Kitchen Plans (Plus, I Can’t Believe it’s Not Marble!)
After this week, and for the next several months, my Tuesday posts will be dominated by my own home renovation. The thrill of agony, the victory of defeat. Er…something like that… Demo starts in ONE WEEK – omg! While the walls are about to come down at my house, for some of my clients, they are just…
