Here is our roundup of gorgeous halloween decor that can set the mood and still feel chic. Our “trick” is rich spicy orange tones and high contrast.

This fall season we are all about the spicy warms tones paired with rich eggplant and graphite tones. This is what we are doing this year. The key is to mix a variety of different scaled textures and materials like olive woods, metallics, seagrass, and chunky linen. We love the give and the take between heavy and delicate, light and dark.

The table has 2 different napkins which reflects how in the fall no leaf is the same color or texture. The Wine colored napkins are from Furbish Studio and the Henna colored cotton napkins are by Crate & Barrel. The cutlery is a total must, for starters they are mixed metals which is so beautifully adaptable but also they have a tiny mother of pearl inlay at the handle which is one of those details that keeps me breathing! Then we used the brass and stone bowl from Alice Lane and filled it with the most lifelike faux flowers from Pottery Barn and Wisteria. We felt like it is so wrong that it is so right to throw in some leopard with our plaid. Pillows by Vivid Hues.
For the past year or so I have been really attractive to anything cinnamon colored in fashion. It looks so beautiful with a pair of distressed jeans and a chunky sweater, this brought me to think about how much I love seeing these great leopard print sweaters and scarves paired with soft palettes. I wondered how that translates to decor and I LOVE it!

Ever since I saw Rayna Jame’s brick kitchen in Nashville I have held a special place in my heart for interior brick walls: arched hallways, brick kitchen walls, whitewashed brick kitchen backsplash. It is all just so good. This summer we actually wrapped our deck in brick. (I’ll share images later on that one.)

Considering we pretty much have months and months of winter ahead of us, we wanted to focus on the bright side and highlight all things cozy we love so much.
I wish I could take credit for the woodpile under the custom walnut floating seat….but I can’t. My client did this one day and it blew my mind!

I could just throw these blankets over my head and call it a day.
t’s that time of the year when all of us try to reset in January. (Or as I call it “dryuary”. This is when I buy 20 times more fruits and veggies than my family can eat in a lifetime. There is no reason you can’t get your veggies in and have your kitchen look beautiful while doing it.

This is my kitchen where I really try to make my cutlery and utensils practical and pretty. I like to use herbs as accents.

New Years seems to go hand in hand with all things shiny and sparkly Here is a Round Up of some of our favorite metallics from our past projects

Every year when I talk about what my New Year resolutions, I can literally feel the eyes rolling, but that isn’t going to stop me. Over the years I have learned that I am not setting goals to become a “New Me”, I like me, I just try to take the time to reflect over the lessons and gifts that I have received the previous years and apply that to what is to come. Being a working mom of 2 young boys, once September rolls around there is literally no stopping, it is a full speed sprint until the holidays and then I always cruise into New Years tired as shit, overlibated (not sure if it is a word….) and delirious (this Thanksgiving I may or may not have gone COMPLETELY postal on my entire sweet family). Then January hits and I feel like I get a few slower months where I can focus and slow down. I can be more focused and deliberate on my choices of how I am living my daily life.
These are some beautiful; quotes that I have gathered over the year and that keep me going all year round. I can’t say that any. year that my resolutions change, but every year I can look back and see how far I have come….I am a work in progress.
Incase your are wondering what my resolutions are:
Being more present
Making my physical health a priority that is as important as my family and work
Taking my children to church
Seeing love in everything
Sending out the energy I want to attract
Being more positive
Only putting energy into people that are positive influences in me and my families lives
Not worrying so much about pleasing everyone
Not being so hard on myself (physically and mentally)
Growing my BIZNAS!
I wish all of you a beautiful 2019!
This summer I was falling in love with all of the raspberry lip stains I was seeing on the pages of my favorite fashion magazines and it dawned on me that it would be an incredible accent to the traditional green and red holiday palette. I was like a woman possessed to bring this palette to a newly completed dining room of ours in Hingham, MA.
