To wear cute shoes and risk blisters or wear practical shoes and risk mal fashion.. that is the question. 9 hours of walking in a day is a bit of footwork. Last week was fall market at High Point. It came around so quickly this year! We had tons of fun and saw too many [...]

C’est fait! French Laundry, grain sack and linen collections of decor are popping up everywhere. I love the look and have been crazy over it for a long time, which is why it’s weird for me to see it gracing the pages of national retailer catalogs like Restoration Hardware… I have had clients ask me how [...]

You can’t judge a book by its cover, but the entry to your home reads as your table of contents. What do you want it to say about you? I want my family and friends to feel sucked in to my house, to want to come in, eat, drink, relax and stay. I want my home [...]
