The little t


The warm weather FINALLY arrived in Boston this week! You really can't go wrong with a tiny t. I especially love them in white, in grey and in stripes! Pair one with jeans, skirts, your bathing suit. They work with really anything. I'm excited to finally wear some summery clothing. 
Have a great weekend!

Before

In a perfect world I would have waited to find the perfect faux bamboo cabinet to repaint, but I really wanted to find and finish a piece asap. Here's my Craig's list find, it needs a lot of love, but that's the fun part!! I love the fret work detail over the glass windows. I will share the after shots. I do know this, I'm definitely painting it a high gloss white and I'm either going to wall paper or paint the interior {possibly a coral pink color}! I'll be sure the share the after shots with all of you. In the meantime here's a bit of interior inspiration.
I adore this one!

Color your world





I can envision Sis Boom's selection of fabrics, pillows and rugs in a cottage or summer home. They sort of have a granny chic feeling about them!  In any case, if you're looking to introduce some color into your home, any of these items would do the trick. They also sell fabric by the yard!

Inspired = Soft Pink + Tan

I love the soft sophistication of combining pink and tan. The tan beautifully grounds the pink! It's a timeless look for interiors and fashionably works year round! The bottom living room photo is by designer Ruthie Sommers. I have long loved that animal print rug. I would LOVE it if one of my client's agreed!!

Currently working on...

Here's an inspiration board I put together for a client this weekend. She gave me a few adjectives to work with and this is what I've created. I have of course chosen all the furnishings, fixtures and textiles too! It's going to be rainy all week so hopefully this post brings you a bit of sunshine.

Drop me a line if you're interested in design services. I work on large + small jobs!

I adore..

This Dhurrie rug from Wisteria. I just sent this photo to a client, so I thought I'd share it with you!! I seem to be on a black, gray and white kick this week, could it possibly be from all this GRAY weather?? I promise to return with some colorful posts this week..because guess what? It's going to rain all week again!

Sweet Dreams

I'm off to bed, it's been a long week! My daughter has been waking up at 5 a.m.. Any tips on how to change this?? She's 15 months old and I don't think I've slept past 6 a.m. in six months.
I still need to finish up my bedroom room . I couldn't help but add a dose of color to this space {maybe yellow or kelly green or violet - violet would be chic.} The fur throw would need to be fake, nor would it take over the entire bed like this one, but there is something very sexy and glamorous about this room! Sweet Dreams.

Shopping - Noir Furniture

I've been frequently visiting Noir Furniture LA. for their mix of casually chic furniture! All of these piece would mix beautifully with color!!! I also periodically check their "as is" section for amazing deals. Their prices are reasonable. I know a shop that reps their brand locally if you are interested!

Happy Friday!

searching for...


My 15 month old daughter is a climber. Currently she's taken to climbing the open shelves in my kitchen, so I need to make a change quickly. It's not safe for her or my dishes. I'm on the hunt for a "find". The perfect piece would have a {Chippendale - esque} feel and with glass front cabinets. I would love to line them in something similar to the Griffin and Wong paper pictured below!! {as you've most likely noticed I love green and this paper is gorgeous!} I actually found a piece on Craig's list last week. I even traveled to see it but it needed quite a bit of work. I'm not sure I have the time to cut new veneer pieces. I'm most likely going to paint it, so If I'm thinking about that particular piece in a week, I'll call them back. It looked very similar to the second image but it was a cabinet not a secretary. I'll be sure to share my final find and the before and after photos.

scalloped

I always try to layer my interior designs with pattern. Scalloping is a beautiful way to add femininity to your life.
