Tulips, part two
Fresh flowers, yeah yeah, I mentioned a few weeks back that just picking up a bunch at your local grocery store can really brighten up a space. With tulips especially, I love watching them go through all of the phases. This bunch was almost on the way out to the compost bin, but I just […]
Colorful bistro
Who knew you could have Bistro chairs in so many colors? At recent trip to Flora Grubb, I was amazed at all of the color options. You could really spice up your exterior seating with these great colors- or even your interior with adding some color to your breakfast room chairs. What do you think? […]
Fun with dough
I realized recently that it might be fun to make my own ravioli. Well, sort of. I purchased the dough at a great local pasta shop. But then the filling options were endless. I opted to sauté kale, spinach and mushrooms with a little bit of garlic and lemon zest. After boiling the pasta, […]
Charleston
Leaving in a few weeks for a few days in Charleston. It’s my first trip. Would love to hear if you have any suggestions of favorite places to eat or shop! Have a great weekend.
Work in progress
A few weeks ago, I posted a photo of a Chinoiserie wallpaper sample. Here is an update on the project. The panels just had the gold frames completed and we are ready to hang them on the client’s walls. I am not sure who is more excited- the client or me!
What I am reading
This is what I just finished reading. Grace: A Memoir. I highly suggest it! Highlights from the publisher: Beautiful. Willful. Charming. Blunt. Grace Coddington’s extraordinary talent and fierce dedication to her work as creative director of Vogue have made her an international icon. Known through much of her career only to those behind the scenes, she […]
Cashmere
Look at all of these yummy hues of cashmere! We are having a hard time selecting amongst all the great colors. A throw over a sofa or chair or at the foot of a bed is always a great accent. Adds a pop of color, exquisite texture and luxuriousness all in one. What are your […]
Magazines
There are always stacks and stacks of magazines everywhere in my life – from my desk to my bedside table. Everything from design to fashion to food. Hope that you had a great weekend. You know what I was up to!
Wallpaper
I love wallpaper. We just installed this Celerie Kemble grasscloth in a powder room for a client project. I love the movement of the pattern, the soft colors and the juxtaposition of the modern sconce.What do you think of wallpaper? There has been such a resurgence in recent years. Do you like the idea of it?
Sunset
A moment captured in time. I loved the way the light was setting on this sconce in my dining room. The sconce (actually a pair) is an antique door knocker that was wired for lighting. I picked these up a few years ago in Paris and I am so glad that I didn’t let them […]
