I’m off to Vermont this weekend for a family wedding (congratulations Lauren and Justin!)…how about you? The wedding is in the north country, so I’ll have lots of time to catch up on reading on the way up and back. It’s been a really long time since I’ve spent hours getting lost in my favorite [...]

Currently Coveting
Posted in Art, Décor, Floors, Furniture, Interiors, Lighting, Shop It, Tabletop, Walls on February 7, 2011 | 2 Comments »
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, [...]
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 [...]
Inspiration for an Unexpected Home Office
Posted in Décor, Furniture, Inspiration, Interiors, Organization, Reinvent It on August 12, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Best laid plans. I don’t know about you, but when I move into a new space (which is more often than I’d like), I try to have it all planned out before the big day. The furniture, the wall colors, where the lamps will go. Everything. But sometimes things don’t turn out exactly like you [...]
Fretwork Tray Table

Trays are awesome. Tray tables are even better. But an elegant white table with fretwork detail and a mirrored tray that looks like it should cost way more than $69.99? Sign. me. up. Image credit: Country Living Antique White Finish Wood Tray Side Table from Kmart
Chalkcloth Tabletop
Posted in Art, Décor, Furniture, Make It, Reinvent It, Shop It, Tabletop on January 26, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I am so done with rectangular placemats on my round kitchen table. It drives me nuts. Just NUTS. But a standard issue round tablecloth is a no-go either with my two jumping bean boys who would most certainly rip the thing off, dinner plates included, the first minute I put in on. But a chalkcloth tabletop? I [...]
Blue and White Storage Ottoman from Target
Posted in Décor, Furniture, Shop It on January 4, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Had to make a quick trip to Target today, and I couldn’t help but mosy over to their home décor section. I figured their new spring items might be rolling out, and I was right. Don’t you just love this blue and white Jacobean ottoman? I’ve been drawn to more modern elements recently, but something [...]
DIY Side Table
Posted in Décor, Furniture, Make It, Reinvent It on November 3, 2009 | 3 Comments »
We’ve been needing a side table next our living room couch for a ridiculously long time, but it seems that every one I find that I love, is just a little too big, a little too shmancy, or a little out of our price range. I was getting desperate, and in a creative fury went [...]
Butterfly Chairs
Posted in Furniture, Outside, Shop It on July 13, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I don’t know if they’re making a resurgence, or if the great lounge chair from my childhood home just happens to be everywhere I am right now, but Butterflies seem to be following me. First, a month or so ago while passing through Urban Outfitters – a foldable version with a leather cover. Then in a Ralph Lauren [...]
The Beauty of Built-Ins
Posted in Furniture, Make It, Organization, Reinvent It, Walls on July 9, 2009 | 5 Comments »
I’ve been in love with built-in bookshelves for as long as I can remember. Maybe it’s that they remind me of my childhood home, or maybe it’s just that I knew from early on, without really knowing, that built-ins can be a beautiful way to maximize a space and make it feel positively custom. Whatever the reason, [...]
