everywhere I look

Whites, linen, burlap, grainsack, script print, reclaimed wood and very muted tones are very en vogue at the moment!! It seems to be everywhere I look. Universally, fresh flowers are everywhere, displayed still intact on their long stems and branches. The “shabby chic” frenzy has finally been given a makeover for a cleaner, less frilly and modern mixed [...]

Sometimes as I watch a movie, I get as involved with the house as I do the movie. Who can forget how fun it was to see the Backlot Tour at your first Disney trip? I can still remember the little train driving past the Golden Girl’s house. Of course I wanted to move in with Aunt Polly in Pollyana or [...]

Well, I have had several clients tell me that they have “heard” faux finishes are out of style and ask me what I think. I have to admit, I am not terribly trendy. I love style and fashion, but I am never the first one to run out and buy the latest craze. In fact, [...]

Seasons affect our affection for different colors. To me January, February and March just beg for neutral style. Nude never goes out of style, but especially at this time of year, I’m in love with nude. It feels fresh and inspiring, timeless and profound.

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 [...]
