With the addition of Sullivan — my decorating and unpacking at our new house has taken a back seat. I have a few photo shoots happening at our place next month so I’m determined to get a few big areas done. The first is the living room followed by our “dining nook”. Since it’s right […]

Images clockwise from top left: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.    I’ve had an obsession with x-benches for a long time but have never found myself in the position with enough money or space for them.  I love how versatile they are, extra seating when you have company or as a holding place for […]

My boyfriend loathes moving – all parts of it, I look at is as a fresh start, a blank canvas and a chance to get organized. I’m pretty excited about our new little house, it’s proximity to the community beach, more space (laundry!) and a lot of natural light. We both dislike overhead lighting so […]

January typically leaves me feeling rather blue, but this year I’m determined not to let that happen.  Pinterest is a great place to find inspiration to get you out of a funk from new recipes to DIY projects!  1. I used to be a cupcake aficionado and bake all the time. I haven’t made cupcakes […]

  Recently one of my friends asked me for some help in how to decorate her hanging shelves. It may seem like a no-brainer for some, but coming up with a carefully curated display can also be a challenge. It usually takes me several days to come up with an arrangement I like- but I’ve […]

Second to my mom’s sugar cookies, this Coconut Macaroon recipe my grandmother Angela (Nina to me) used to make is my favorite. I’ve already made it twice this season and we only have a few left so I forsee another batch in the future! This recipe is so simple and a crowd pleaser. You don’t […]

 I moved my champagne glasses to our open-air book case for easy entertaining.  For the first time I dressed up my ginger jars! I picked up fresh tree clippings when we got our tree.  I created a runner with my Anthropologie placemats on our coffee table to house a small silver and white vignette.  My […]

  Oh how I love December!! My holiday shopping is well underway and I’m going to start wrapping and shipping gifts off to the West Coast this weekend. I have a cookie exchange on Monday that requires 6 dozen cookies, so I’ll also be doing a lot of baking! A few of my favorite pins…. […]
