design {bedroom}

In this client's bedroom we mixed Bella Notte bedding with Ralph Lauren for that classic look that seems timeless.  A unique chandelier adds ambiance and pulls the whole feel of the room together beautifully.

And, everyone loves having their favorite furry friend sleeping close by :)

Look for the upcoming table top shoot in House Beautiful!

Mary Emmerling is introducing a new dish line and Susan Rose brought accessories from the Willows to compliment the antique dishes.

cheese bags

We are absolutely in love with these new cheese bags from France now in the shop!
As the back of the box explains, "Proper storage of your cheese preserves the purity of its flavor while extending its shelf life.  Our premium cheese storage bags stimulate the environment of a cheese cave, where cheeses are traditionally aged.  While conventional plastic wrap suffocates cheese, our unique material allows cheese to breathe while maintaining optimal humidity with the simplicity of an easy to use bag.
The result is cheese that stays fresh, longer."

They are so useful and quite adorable, as well (we are all about the packaging!).  Grab a box for yourself and pick one up for the next time you need that unique hostess gift.  Pair it with some yummy cheese and a bottle of wine and that hard-to-buy-for-person in your life will adore it!

Happy Friday!

design {a journal collector}

A lovely home office for the creative writer!  

We gathered all of our client's journals into charming little stacks and piles or grouped them into unique containers and made sure they were all easily accessible.  

And a softer, quieter little corner to sit and read or reflect...

i just love making pillows...

I cannot help myself.  When I see beautiful fabric, I just have to make pillows!  I picked up this amazing, cheery fabric in France and brought it home with me with no real set plan for it.  Then, I found these colorful zippers and I just had to sew up some pillows.  My daughter, Christine, loves to mix up the pillows on her already adorable front porch, and with her newly painted front door, I just knew this would be the place for these bright, happy pillows!

Cheers to new pillows!
