I’ve had many partnerships over the years, and the long term partnerships that I value most are genuinely organic and bring me joy. Williams-Sonoma is one of those – not only because they have believed in me from the beginning, but because I buy and use all their goods constantly (no surprise there) regardless of any partnerships we have together. Getting ready for this shoot of my house was an undertaking, and I realized as I walked around the spaces and propped it out how much of the accents in the kitchen, as well as other parts of the house (including my all time favorite picture frames ..read more

Now that Easter is behind us, we’re diving head first into spring, and even thinking about Mother’s Day gifts (you’ve got 5 weeks to shop, people!). Keeping that in mind, we’ve got a little something for everyone with this launch… New Art & Decor Erin Clark – inspired by warmer weather and a color palette pulled right from the tennis court… group 2-3 of these original paintings together in simple white frames in a powder bath or playroom! Laura McCarty – we are such fans of Laura’s original abstracted landscapes, framed in beaded antique gold frames. Statuette – we’re over the moon for t ..read more

Following the launch of my new Kassatex collection earlier this week, I asked on Instagram if there’s anything you want to know about styling/designing from me, and so many of you asked about the ‘right way’ to make a bed. When properly arranged, a good duvet and sham set is a sure way to completely transform your room to look and feel like a decadent hotel suite. Here are three combos I swear by: Bed #1 Bed number one is my favorite of the bunch because it looks SO luxurious and it’s super easy to achieve. For this combo, I used the greek key duvet, 2 king shams with greek key border, 3 euro ..read more

I am thrilled to share that my second collection with Kassatex is now available! In addition to new bedding, we expanded our partnership into bath linens and vanity accessories. Photos by Kirsten Francis. Styling by Lucy Bamman. Since I designed my first pillow almost ten years ago, I have strived to create home decor that elevates a space in a classic and timeless way, both in color palette, materials and motifs. Here’s a bit of the behind the scenes of how this collection came to be… The Color Palette For the color palette, I always look to what we use most often in our designs – neutrals be ..read more

Easter and Passover are only a few short weeks away, so we wanted to launch Part 1 of our spring collection a bit early, to make sure you have all you need for your holiday gathering tabletops. We’re so excited to launch these wavy embroidered linen napkins in neutral and olive. They work so well with our horn napkin rings, Espalier Block Print Tablecloth, and Kavya Rose tablecloth. Can’t go wrong mixing and matching with these!   This large, scalloped rattan tray is SO GOOD. As you know, I love woven baskets and trays. This one is so pretty and has added utility, with deep sides a ..read more

Since you loved my organization faves blog post last month, and because it’s nearly 60 degrees here today, I’m getting a jump start on spring cleaning and sharing a round up of my favorite baskets!  Just like a good workout set gets me in the gym, some cute baskets are all I need to get all the rooms in my house in order.  JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

These are just the right size for the mudroom (see my mudroom upd ..read more

An antique chest in a newly constructed home adds character. Last weekend I posted some pictures of a great antique secretary I found on Facebook Marketplace – one of the last remaining truly affordable places to find antiques. We source antiques for all our projects… sometimes in person, but mostly online – our most used sites being 1stDibs, Chairish, Etsy and occasionally eBay. The key to finding great stuff on any website, is knowing what search terms will provide you the types of pieces you are looking for. Here are some tips: Research the names of the styles of furniture you like – I ten ..read more

A sleeper in a guest suite lounge area of one of our projects. Photo by Kirsten Francis After posting some pictures of my kids enjoying their playroom sleeper sofa, I got so many DM’s asking about where I got it. Mine is this Pottery Barn sleeper done in Slate performance Velvet. Since we lost our 5th “bedroom” (which was really just a small office) upstairs, we wanted to make the playroom an option for guests, so we used a sleeper sofa down there and made the half bath into a full bath. Now it’s a nice spot for guests to stay and have their own private level. Guests have said the mattress is ..read more

Over the years of blogging, designing interiors and products, and styling photoshoots, I’ve hoarded a decent amount of pieces that I love, but just have no need for. Sometimes something comes in not quite right for a client, or I buy something for my own home that just doesn’t work for us anymore, but either way, I have a literal barn full of goodies, and I’m making those pieces available to you all now on Gates & Co. Flynn Table Lamp & Nightstands Most of these items are larger case goods that will require local pick up/movers/UShip, but we do have a few smaller pillows and accessorie ..read more
