Furniture: Settees

June 25, 2014 | 2 Commentaries

The photos below show the versatility of the settee. The small dainty piece of furniture looks perfectly in place whether in the hallway, bedroom, dining room, or porch. Have a look…

If you’re looking to make a purchase, you might want to visit Black Rooster Decor, Jayson Home, One Kings Lane, Restoration Hardware, or 1st Dibs. I’ve also seen some lovely options at Home Sense. If you really want to go for an authentic French settee, I’d recommend making the trip to Paris’ Marché aux Puces to view loads of settees there (Why not dream big?).

20 Below: Style at Home and House & Home Magazines

June 17, 2014 | 5 Commentaries

Here are 2 magazine issues that I think everyone should own:

Style at Home – The White Issue, $5.99

House & Home – Decorating with White, $11.95

Thanks to all friends, family members, and readers who have been sending me emails, tweets, and texts letting me know that they bought them/thought of me when they saw the magazine/think these issues were made for me/etc. It’s been really fun to hear people’s responses to these two issues!

FYI: I own the Style at Home magazine (and it’s great), but I haven’t yet bought the House & Home special issue. Shocking, I know!

Design: Manhattan Home on Style Me Pretty Living

June 17, 2014 | 6 Commentaries

I’m thrilled to announce that my sister and brother-in-law’s Manhattan condo was featured on Style Me Pretty Living yesterday! Can you believe it? SMPLiving is such a well-curated, well-respected online blog and it is ridiculously cool that the SMP team decided to feature my family’s city condo. Crazy cool, in fact! Even though I knew the post was coming, I was still kind of surprised to see it online yesterday afternoon. Just. Too. Much. Fun.

Here are a few photos of their place, but I encourage you to read the full story and flip through all the photos. I’m so impressed with my sister and brother-in-law’s approach to art and design (and, yes, they like white too).

Thanks to Caroline Frost for taking such lovely photos and to Jacquelyn Clark for putting this all into motion.

Celebration: Happy birthday, Reef!

My second nephew is 4 years old today! He loves pasta carbonara (without the peas or bacon, which basically means pasta noodles), making everyone laugh, milk, and climbing just about everything. One day I know my sister and brother-in-law might just have to install a climbing wall in their house.

Design: Art in the Bathroom

June 5, 2014 | 5 Commentaries

Today I’m wondering which of the following two bathrooms you prefer.

Option 1 – What do you think of the gallery wall in this bathroom? The wall is packed floor-to-ceiling with colourful artistic goodness, but the rest of the bathroom is simple and white.

Option 2: This bathroom has two small pieces of art that are simply framed and placed above the mid-height tiled walls.

Thoughts? What kind of art do you have in your bathroom? I opted for a full-on Rorschach gallery wall in my upstairs bathroom and it’s doing a good job distracting me from the too-grey-for-me tub surround and floor.
