LESSONS from the southern living idea house

As Charleston locals, we were thrilled to have Southern Living Magazine's Idea House in our back yard this year. Farrah and I spent a lovely Friday afternoon touring the nostalgic Lowcountry farmhouse in Kiawah River. Nestled amid stately live oaks and swaying marsh grass, the house evokes a simpler time when the rhythms of life echoed those of nature. Abundant windows, expansive porches and a beautifully-landscaped terrace and garden provide an easy indoor/outdoor flow to maximize the marsh views and sea breeze.[...]

New coffee table books for design lovers

Give me a beautiful design book, and I will happily while away a Saturday morning pouring over pages of glossy interiors. From striking architecture and perfectly-arranged floor plans to hand-painted wallpapers and chintz-covered fabrics, I enjoy studying these elements and analyzing what it is that really makes a space sing. Time and again, I find myself returning to favorite books to draw inspiration when I'm decorating a new space or looking to make a change in my own home.  There are so many amazing design books out this fall th[...]

RAISE THE BAR: ideas for easy entertaining at home

It's the weekend, and we've got a fun little post for you about entertaining at home. These days I'm inclined to favor a night in versus trekking downtown to a fancy restaurant. Hosting friends and family from the comfort of home seems way more personal and relaxed to me, and it's a joy to extend a bit of old-fashioned hospitality.Whether hosting a crowd or a more intimate gathering, it's helpful to designate a space for setting up everything from drinks to charcuterie. Today I'm sharing a glimpse at one of my recent home projects, along with a few creative ideas[...]

a few of my favorite things + remembering A Good Dog

Can you believe Easter is right around the corner? Last week's time change kind of sneaked up on me, but the warm weather and extra hour of sunshine more than compensated for any lingering fatigue. Tom and I have made daytime dates an occasional habit, and the spring weather was the perfect excuse for an impromptu cruise around Charleston Harbor. From boat rides to clean beauty, today I'm sharing an assortment of little things that have been filling my cup lately.  Speaking of cups...the trendy Ember Mug tops my list. I original[...]

Ten easy ways to elevate your space

If you've ever put your house on the market, you know the rush of activity that goes into making certain it presents well. After all the repairs and upgrades, I recall wishing we wouldn't have waited until we were selling the place to make those improvements. A few weekends’ worth of elbow grease and minor adjustments made such a difference in the way our previous home felt and functioned.Although we're not intending to sell our current abode any time soon, something about the new year has me feeling inspired to take stock of these four walls and make a punch li[...]

feels like fall: little things to elevate the season

We're coming off the most gorgeous weekend in Charleston, reminding me why autumn is a favorite time of year in the Lowcountry. I also love the mental reset associated with back-to-school and new fall rhythms. I'm finding myself in the kitchen more these days, trying out new recipes and cooking up old family favorites (like the pumpkin chili below). I've also slipped into a more consistent workout routine over the last few weeks. I've been enjoying my usual neighborhood run, along with (new to me) Pilates classes. Finally, I've entered a season of seeking. I've b[...]

Mood lighting: chic options to cast a glow

Autumn's shorter days and chilly nights have us wanting to make our homes especially cozy this time of year.  It may seem strange, but one of my little joys is walking through the house each evening to switch on the lamps or light a few candles to offset the earlier sunsets. Soft lamplight (as opposed to harsh overhead lighting) makes such a difference in the way a home feels. It's an easy trick to create ambiance, along with flickering candlelight of course. For an instant dose of warmth, consider adding a pretty lamp to a console or counter top. Or, perhaps in[...]
