sweet home alabama

This Alabama home has just enough elegance without being stuffy.  I love the look of the benches at the counter.  And how clever are the screens around the bathtub instead of having shades on all the windows!

winter wonderland

Growing up in upstate New York, I'm no stranger to snow and ice.  I would spend more than six months out of the year sledding down the side of the Erie Canal in my backyard, building snowmen and snow tunnels, and pretending I was an Olympic skater on the ice.  This year, winter in the city is reminding me a lot of those wonderful memories, bundled up like a little snow bunny and refusing to come inside until my teeth were chattering and my fingers turned blue.  I may be one of the few New Yorkers who is actually enjoying all of the snow we've been getting (although, I could do without the dirty slush).  But these days, I'd much rather be wearing something from this glam fashion montage found on 1st Dibs.  It may not be appropriate for igloo building but it's perfect for wandering the snowy streets of NY! 


I was so inspired by the muted colors and sumptuous textures that I've sourced a few pieces to recreate this look in your home.  A little leather, some sparkling gold and crystal, and a fluffy fur pillow... you've got your own little winter wonderland!

mumbai luxury

Ashiesh Shah, decorator to Bollywood actors, has taken a small, two bedroom duplex in Mumbai and opened it up into an airy studio filled with antiques and artwork that you won't find anywhere else.  His combination of modern, crisp pieces alongside ancient treasures has created a space of both comfort and history... not an easy task!


 Check out the first four steps, they open up like drawers for added storage!

taking a mental break from the cold

What can I say?  Beginning to plan my honeymoon to Hawaii has me dreaming of a warmer, sunnier place!

happy holidays!

I've been on a bit of a blog-vacation while finishing up my last semester of design school and heading off on vacation with the fam!  Right now we're in Killington, VT for skiing and relaxation and then it's home to the parents' for Christmas.  But I wanted to send out some holiday cheer in the form of a few incredibly beautiful Christmas decor ideas.  I'm not really a red and green kind of girl, so I've gathered some images of alternative holiday color options... enjoy and happy holidays!!
