My perfect beach house

I am often asked, ” what’s your personal style?”  And I often fumble at the answer. It’s not easy to define in a few words and I can be a bit of chameleon. Though in very general words I like understated spaces; historical details and places that have  invoke memories. Since we are approaching summer, […]

Black and White and What All Over?

Remember I told you about those sweet twin girls that are moving to their new nest.  Well we moved on from decorating their bedroom, and on to their bathroom. Their bathroom is a classic 20’s black and white bathroom. So what do you do when it looks a little shop worn? (and you don’t have […]

Do you have a sous chef?

Do you have a sous chef at your house?  I have a little boy at my side with a zest for cooking up things. I say things because  though they are  done with passion; I can’t really give the dishes a name.  At best, I would call them “mish mash” soup. When the eyes in […]

80% (and Earth Day)

80% is probably how much I slowed my car down at the stop sign (and therefore got a ticket). 80% is  how much of the clean laundry goes back in the drawers. 80% is how much of my girls’ meals land on the floor. And 80% is probably how much I actually properly recycle. So as […]

Paris in April
