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[...]

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[...]

inside the 2022 cashiers designer showhouse

Last Friday, Farrah and I did something that felt a little indulgent. After dropping our girls at school and kissing our husbands goodbye, we packed up the car and headed to the mountains for a weekend of relaxation, spa treatments and design. It felt wonderful to unplug for a bit and soak up the mountain air, along with lots of inspiration at the Cashiers Designer Showhouse. 25th Annual Cashiers Designer Showhouse Located in the prestigious High Hampton community, the 25th Annual Showhouse was presented by the Cashiers Historical Society with[...]

designer sarah bartholomew Brings a dose of springtime to a classic, georgian-style home

Extended daylight hours, birds chirping happily and a layer of pollen coating every outdoor surface must mean that spring has officially arrived in Charleston! Apart from the allergies, I do love this time of year and am looking forward to consistently warm weather and all that the season has to offer. It's about this time that I also get the urge to lighten up our home by bringing in fresh flowers, green plants and brighter colors. The other day, I stumbled across an old issue of Traditional Home magazine that provided lots of inspiration, while reminding me jus[...]

MY love For Block print

A few years back when my husband and I were in the beginning stages of designing our home, I must have spent hours pouring over interior design books and magazines, trying to pinpoint the exact style we were going for and identify commonalities in the rooms that stopped me in my tracks. I realized that the spaces I'm most drawn to often incorporate hand-blocked, Indian textiles and wallpapers. While I 'm definitely not an expert, I don't think you have to be one in order to appreciate the international flair that block print materials add to a space. The traditio[...]

A Must-have coffee table book for rattan lovers + WAYS TO BRING this timeless material into your home

Charleston, SC

Open any shelter magazine and you'll find bamboo, wicker and rattan furniture and accessories adding warmth and texture to homes of various styles and in locales ranging from mountains to beaches and everywhere in between. While rattan is certainly on trend, it’s also true that decorating with woven and natural materials has been en vogue for decades. My feelings about rattan as a mainstay in traditional decorating were reinforced by Lulu Lytle’s book Rattan A World of Elegance and Charm. I also came away feeling that I can confidently select “Rattan for $1,[...]
