It is cold, rainy, and desperately depressing here in Boston right now. After a spring-tease in April, we’ve been treated to nearly nothing but clouds since May started. Out went the kelly green shorts, coral blouses and peep-toe espadrilles from three weeks ago. Back in came the black cashmere and boots of fall. And I [...]

Harvesting.
Posted in Inspiration on October 11, 2011 | 1 Comment »
So what did you do this long weekend, friends? It was gorgeous here in Boston and we took full advantage of the weather, spending time as a family at birthday parties, soccer games, the beach, and a local apple orchard picking more than enough apples for half a dozen pies. {Not apples. Cherries? In October?} [...]
Leslie Graff: Artist, Mother, and More.

When I first heard about Boston-based artist Leslie Graff from Design Mom, I instantly fell in love with her work. Tuesday night, while at Pivot Boston (an amazing event that brought together women who want to make or have made a change in their careers that bring them more joy/fulfillment/peace of mind/etc.), I squealed a [...]
Kate Spade at Bed Bath & Beyond
Posted in Décor, Fashion, Inspiration, Linens, Shop It, Tabletop, What Do You Want to Change?, What Do You Want To Do? on July 28, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Does it annoy anyone else that “Bed Bath & Beyond” isn’t “Bed, Bath and Beyond”? Just me? Okey dokey. Anyhoo…in case you haven’t heard, Kate Spade has made her way to BB&B. Maybe this is old news, but since I had a temporary absence from the design blogosphere, I missed the announcement until about three [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
DIY Paint Can Lights

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 [...]
Catalog Living

Logic quiz: Poor self-image is to fashion magazines as WHAT is to home decor catalogs? I don’t know either, but sometimes I feel like I have it, whatever IT is. Occasionally I get sort of taken over by staging my house…rolling up the throw blankets and storing them just-so in a gorgeous basket (you’re cold? grab one [...]
Because life is too short not to surround yourself with beautiful things.

{For those of you thinking you were going to get a post on some great product or DIY project today, please forgive this brief indulgence…we’ll be back tomorrow with our regularly scheduled programming.} For four days last week, I indulged in my ultimate personal (not to be confused with family) vacation. For four days last [...]
Some of Boston’s Best (in my humble opinion)
Posted in Fashion, Interiors, Shop It on November 17, 2010 | 2 Comments »
At the end of October, CBS Boston launched a spankin’ new website that brings all the local CBS outlets under one digital roof. Thanks to a glowing recommendation from Boston Mamas’ Christine Koh, I had an opportunity to contribute some of my favorites to the site’s Boston’s Best section. Need the perfect accessories to go with that dress? [...]
