One Room Challenge Week 5: American Evolution
Welcome to Week 5 of the Fall 2018 season of the One Room Challenge. I hope everyone survived, and maybe even enjoyed Halloween. I am personally just dead tired. Mid-week Halloween is brutal. This is the point at which ORC things should be *almost* done. And they’re really not. But they will be. Like, today.…
Read MoreTrending: Colorful, Patternful, Scandinavian Modern-Inspired Textiles & Wallcoverings
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past ~10 years, you’ve surely noticed the influence of Scandinavian modern design on the interiors of today. Clean lines, varied textures, warm materials, connection with nature, intentional coziness, and what I like to call the ‘bathed in white’ aesthetic, are its hallmarks. If I were to…
Read MoreDay 140: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation)
At the risk of beating a horse that is no longer among the living, things are really starting to accelerate around here. Good golly, I can’t even walk out the door without someone pulling me back into the construction zone for ‘just a few quick questions.’ And it’s always when I’m about to walk out…
Read MoreDay 133: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation) – Special Powder Room Edition!
Since I missed Friday Family-Friendly Find last week (did you notice? I did 🙁 ), I wanted to share an extra-special update today to make up for it. Things are really heating up here with our renovation project, and I’m really excited to say that we’re inching ever-closer to weather-tight. All windows and exterior doors…
Read MoreDay 107: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation)…Special Mudroom Edition!
Those of you who follow me on Instagram may have seen my Stories yesterday, and some issues that have creeped up over the past several days. I don’t want to dwell on that right now, though. Instead, I’m going to talk about an area that’s actually, thus far (knock on a 2×4, I’ve got lots…)…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Phillip Jeffries Vinyl Tailored Linens
Happy Friday! It doesn’t quite feel like the unofficial start of summer here in New England, but at least I’ll soon be able to wear my white denim with total reckless abandon. 🙂 This week’s find is from one of my favorite wallcovering lines, Phillip Jeffries. I use their natural grasscloth often in my designs,…
Read More11 Ways with a Wallpapered Ceiling
As a family-friendly decorator, I enjoy writing about the practical, functional side of interior design, and I think/hope it has been a valuable resource to young families with kids and pets who want to live stylishly. Sometimes, though, it’s good to take a breather and keep it strictly light and fun on the blog. This…

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 MoreCan a Pretty Powder Room Survive…BOYS??
They say inspiration can come from anywhere. My inspiration for this post was derived from a little diamond that popped into my Facebook news feed (via a good, old friend) yesterday: “Someone should tell you that when you have little boys, your toilet will never look the same again…” Too funny! Yet also very true.…
Read MoreOld House Love
With all apologies to the eponymous Young House Love bloggers, I just have to write a bit about some Old House Love – for the one my husband and I now own. We haven’t moved in yet, but the prior owners moved out this week. I have to say, now that the house is completely…
