I always jump at the chance to set the table for a special occasion or holiday. Also, I never need an excuse to add detailed placemats or printed napkins to elevate our family dinners and weekend lunches at home. Pull it together with a floral arrangement or picked stems from the garden (and of course candles) and you are good to go!

We are almost one week away from that time of year when you get to spoil and celebrate the Mom in your life. For the shop, I’ve curated items that Mom (or you) can add to your daily routine, start to collect, share with others, hand down to a loved one or simply, items that will make Mom smile. From a new chic to-go cup, to a luxurious face cream, to beautifully crafted stationery, this shop has something for everyone.

We planned a perfect getaway to wine country this past weekend. It was very much needed. A time to unwind, relax, and just be us.

Happy Birthday! Arthur turned five on February 6 and I still cannot believe it!

In pursuit of storage baskets, I’ve come across some amazing shapes, sizes, and woven materials that would suit all home styles. From rattan and wicker, from high-end to budget friendly, there is something for everyone. I have become a big lover of baskets and think its the perfect way to keep everyday items tidy yet accessible. So, whether you have matching rattan baskets under a entry console table or place stacked baskets next to your couch, baskets tie in a cozy, lived in, yet put together look. Sharing some storage baskets you will not want to store away!

I have always had a love for jewelry. If you knew me years ago, my right wrist was stacked with all the gold bracelets I could find. Now, I rarely wear anything on my wrists (besides an old gold watch I “borrowed” from my Dad many years ago, and although it stopped working, it is such a sentimental piece). A gold necklace … we all should own one. It looks beautiful against any color or print, dressy or casual. I discovered Brinker & Eliza late last year. I pre-ordered the Spiral Staircase Necklace in November and received it about a month ago. Worth the wait!

I’m delighted to finally sit down and share more on our home purchase last year and the current renovations underway (we are almost done!). Time has been flying by, but moments have also felt like the longest moments in time. When a delay happens, it feels like weeks, and when a certain stage of the reno is complete, we scramble to the next step. All in all, we are overwhelmed with joy to finally design and put all my saved and pinned images to use, buy our favorite fixtures, and continue to scheme and dream up future plans.

Mother’s, Moms-to-be and those special Mother figures in your life deserve to be celebrated (all year long). What I find most special is a hand written note, photos (that seem to only live on our phones) printed and framed, or a sentimental item for the home that can be passed down. Either way, making Mother’s Day all about Mom is what’s most important!

Slowly step away from your slippers or peel off your cozy socks. I challenge you to start thinking about wearing real, actual shoes. Whether you are dusting off an old pair of heels or adding a new pair to your closet, take that first step … and add a little Spring to your step.
