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[...]

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 vignettes that inspire

Charleston, SC

As mentioned in a previous post, we were delighted to attend Illumination Charleston and have the opportunity to tour the historic Aiken-Rhett House last weekend. In addition to the gorgeous Christmas florals and greenery that adorned the mansion, the house featured modern furniture arrangements and inspirational vignettes by top Southeast designers. From the gracious piazza designed by Amanda Lindroth to the intimate library fashioned by Jason Reeves, each space had a distinct vibe despite being under the same roof of one very historic property. Let's have a look[...]

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,[...]
