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 MoreIt could not be easier to botch a room design exclusively using neutral colors. There are so many pitfalls, it is probably the most nerve-wracking directive for even a professional interior designer! But rather than explaining all of the things that can go wrong, I’d like to share five ways to do a neutral room right – so you can nail it every time, whether you’re tackling a kitchen (hello white kitchens!), bedroom, living room, bathroom, or any other space in your home.
Read MoreI have blogged a lot over the years, with some long pauses thrown in for sure, but 330+ (and counting) posts is nothing to shake a stick at! A topic that appears very frequently on Interiors for Families is color. My color posts are among the most popular – and I personally think even the ones that are older than dirt are holding up pretty darn well!
So I thought I’d take a little blog break for today, and do a little #tbt (taking a slight liberty, due to it being Tuesday as this is published), compiling some of my favorite and most viewed color posts of all time – and that means revisiting my writing all the way back to 2012.
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…
