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 [...]
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, [...]

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 [...]
Wordless Wednesday: A Sneak Peek
Posted in Décor, Floors, Outside, Reinvent It on August 4, 2010 | 10 Comments »
A few weeks ago, I noticed that one of the blogs I follow started doing something called “Wordless Wednesday.” Then a few weeks later, another. Call me slow, but apparently this wordless business is sweeping the blogosphere, and as a working mom of two who is attempting to set up house, keep up a blog she [...]
Inspired by Madeline Weinrib
Posted in Floors, Shop It on January 20, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I’ve been in love with Madeline Weinrib’s sophisti-casual rugs for as long as I can remember, but with price tags in the thousands, Ms. Weinrib’s rugs will not be part of my reality anytime soon. Luckily there are some terrific floor coverings inspired by Ms. Weinrib’s work without the accompanying price. Problem is, my favorite rugs are [...]
DIY Floor Covering
Posted in Floors, Make It, Reinvent It on October 22, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I think I’ve mentioned (more than once) that our house has hardwood floors throughout. Beautiful, yes, but the “beauty of hardwoods” that everyone talks about loses its lustre about this time every year. Since carpets and area rugs are pretty dang expensive, we get to experience our floors in all their ice-cold glory as soon as [...]
Divine Dash & Albert

I can’t remember when I first fell in love with Dash & Albert rugs, but I know the infatuation has been going on for several years and I’ve just been waiting for the right moment to act on it. Finally, this weekend, I had my moment. Using this new fabulous blog as an excuse, I bought one of the woven [...]
Kid-Proof Rug

I really wish we had a mudroom, but since we don’t, we relegate our shoes, coats, and the seven-or-so bags that arrive home with our little family every evening to a 30-inch “mudspace” right inside the entrance of our home. To help define the space and give our two kiddos a little more room to [...]
