I really value long term partnerships that are truly organic and bring me true joy- and the folks at Williams-Sonoma are one of those- not only because they have believed in me from the beginning, but that I buy and use all their goods constantly (no suprise 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 my accents in the kitchen, as well as other parts of the house (my all time favorite picture frames for example) are from them. I rounded up the ite ..read more

I have been watching Palm Royale and find it to be such a fantastic escape- the costumes, sets and hilarity of the cast is such a treat. Also, I’d like to know what Ricky Martin is doing to literally stay the same age forever. HOW??? And how adorable is Kristin Wiig in the cute mini dresses and big wigs? She also looks PHENOMENAL. True story- I’ve never been to Palm Beach. I may have once breezed through West Palm antiquing with my brother when he lived in Miami, but I’ve never say, been to say, the famed Colony Hotel. While the sunny, cheery bright colors and warm weather are enticing- the po ..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

Here in the Northeast we are having wild swings in weather- from 65 and sunny to wet and cold. This time of year is the toughest here in my opinion, especially when it comes to dressing. We all want to pull out the spring clothes, but will likely be freezing if we do. So here is a great transition outfit I found on Saks (who is having Friends & Family right now BTW) that has pieces that will not only help you layer for early spring, but also can carry you through summer. This cardigan would look so cute thrown over your shoulder with an on trend denim dress. And speaking of denim, denim ..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

I grew up really thinking I’d need a lot more day to night looks than I do (0, to be correct)- EXCEPT when on vacation. And then it’s more of a packing space necessity- what can I wear multiple ways/ multiple times if I’m careful and don’t spill a margarita on it? I saw this chartreuse tunic dress on J.Crew and it sort of inspired this whole modern caftan look- both day and night. I also ordered it and the bathing suit too. To the pool or beach- a great long coverup you can throw on to grab lunch, but at night with the right shoes and accessories, a chic island look as well. Now to just find t ..read more

This year I’m really feeling yellows and greens mixed with natural rattan and woven textures for Easter. For both big gals, and little, have a little fun with color and mixing textures, embracing feminine details and also letting your kids have a say in what they wear! I’m loving the idea of little white jeans and a tweed jacket (outfit #5) on Emma instead of the normal easter dress!  I’ll be lucky to get Henry out of Nike sweats, but maybe I could convince him of the shorts with cashmere hoodie and Dunks (outfit #7) ….maybe…..

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. Reactivate it to view this content. This lidded, larger one is perfect for keeping in the corner of your room to hide a mess until you can get to it. These are just the right size for the mudroom (see my mudroom upd ..read more
