About six years ago, I developed an unhealthy obsession with hooked rugs. My husband and I had been invited to spend the weekend at a quintessential Nantucket home, complete with a garden full of hydrangeas, comfy slipcovered furniture and a serene wooden mermaid perched in the front hall welcoming visitors and friends. And on every [...]

A Touch of Nautical
Posted in Art, Décor, Fashion, Floors, Outside, Shop It, Walls, Windows on February 14, 2011 | 2 Comments »
About this time of year, the stripes start to send signals… …that spring is coming! I love a touch of nautical in my wardrobe, but I’ve always been a bit of sucker for it in my home too. Remember this post? Last fall, I went to the Brimfield Antique Show with my friend Cheri, and I [...]
Hello, Gorgeous.

Sorry for the lack of post today, but because of unexpected roof issues at my son’s school, I was home with my big guy all day. Yes, here in New England, it doesn’t even have to be snowing for school to be cancelled…the sheer amount of snow has become a problem in and of itself. [...]
Currently Coveting

I know it’s a sin, but I’m just not that religious. Here’s what I’m coveting for my home this month…how about you? Casually elegant stemware that can serve up milk or mimosas equally well, fishy rugs, simply beautiful turned wood lamps, the Hans Wegner classic, Michael A. Palmer’s view of the world, [...]
Weekend Plans

So, what are you up to this weekend? Among the many things on my list — including a project that’s hopefully worthy enough to end up here and going out for a very belated holiday celebration with a gaggle of girlfriends I haven’t seen in months — I’m heading to the book launch of friend, mom and [...]
Punxsutawney Phil and Bucks County Frames

In case you hadn’t heard, Phil predicted an early spring. Yeah, right. {she says, staring at three feet of snow outside her bedroom window} Anyway, Phil isn’t the only good thing coming out of the great state of Pennsylvania these days. On a recent trip to the land of Etsy, one of my pals showed me [...]

And while we’re on the subject of new lighting… This image, from the Style At Home booth at the Interior Design Show in Toronto, has been floating around the web for the past couple of days. The painted floor is amazing, as is the fabulous bright springy styling — a sign of things to come for [...]
Trashing the Tragic Lighting
Posted in Décor, Lighting, Shop It on February 1, 2011 | 5 Comments »
It’s been about six months since we moved in and I think it’s about time we begin to address the lighting situation. Don’t you? Let’s deal with the kitchen today. Um, just the eat-in area. So here we are (and yes, I know we have to do something about the windows and the walls too, [...]
