This is a very special edition of #FFFFind! This week’s finds are products that were recently incorporated in “The Morning Kitchen” that Dianne Aucello (Edesia Kitchen & Bath Studio) and I created for the Junior League of Boston 2017 Designer Show House, which just closed a couple of weeks ago. If you weren’t able to…
Read MoreSince I’m in Newport, Rhode Island on vacation at the moment, I thought it would be fun to feature the work of a local interior designer. Often, residential designers and decorators here are tasked with not just home design, but yacht design as well. You would not believe the size of some of these boats…I can’t even…
Read MoreI am currently in Newport, Rhode Island on a quasi “stay-cation” – I call it that because my husband is still commuting to Boston for work this week, and I have to drive up to the city a few times next week for various commitments. I don’t think it can be a true vacation if…
Read MoreI have long had a love-hate relationship with sisal. Love: Look Texture Layers beautifully Natural Don’t Love: Stains Like, don’t even bother trying to clean it…it’s never coming out I’ve used sisal very infrequently for this reason, and haven’t used it at all in the past few years. And, until a few weeks ago, I…
Read MoreSince I missed Friday Family-Friendly Find last week (did you notice? I did 🙁 ), I wanted to share an extra-special update today to make up for it. Things are really heating up here with our renovation project, and I’m really excited to say that we’re inching ever-closer to weather-tight. All windows and exterior doors…
Read MoreIt’s finally here! The day all One Room Challenge-ers I have been waiting for. Week 6. For me, the big reveal of Project Vestibule. Big. HUGE. I blogged about the photo shoot that produced these pictures last week, and since then I’ve been practically jumping out of my skin fighting the urge to just put them out there…
Read MoreWelcome to Week 4! It’s the home stretch. I was at High Point Market for a few days during this week, but work continued on Project Vestibule nevertheless. If you’re new and would like to catch up, please do (and welcome!). While I was away, my painter tackled my front door. It needed a little…
Read MoreSo, here we are – it’s week 3! The halfway point (OMG, really??). If this is your first visit, or the first time checking in with my One Room Challenge journey, welcome and thank you! I am in the process of transforming my vestibule from a boring, non-functional space to a little jewel box of…
Read MoreWell, hello there! I’ve been on hiatus for awhile, which happens from time to time, but I always come back to blog when inspiration strikes. I’ve been busy in general, but one of my main activities in recent weeks has been designing a nursery for a very special new client – one currently residing in…
Read MoreAn often-suggested furniture piece for families with young children (or, just a lot of stuff!) is a storage ottoman or bench. I have to admit, it’s not an item I’ve personally recommended to many clients or friends, but I have used them in my own home. They have their limitations – chief among them is…
