I have always found maps to be quite fascinating. They are an in-depth glimpse of the world. Maps point out the places you have been, and allow you to notice all the places you have yet to explore. I find them to be even more fascinating when they are used in decor. From a framed vintage

Sometimes I am just in the mood to see something quite pretty and feminine. This Georgetown townhouse by Frank Babb Randolph embodies everything one would hope for in a pleasantly appointed home. The exterior has a Jeffersonian sophistication mixed with an enchanting and updated ambience. The interior has a light-filled reflection that enhances the rooms

Happy, Happy, Oh Happy Thursday. Why is it that weeks after holidays feel even longer than regular weeks?? Anyway, I know many of you have found this blog through my friend Jennifer  (like in actual face to face friendship as opposed to cyber friends), who is over at the Belclaire House Blog.

Yesterday I focused on pool houses, and today I am going to focus on one fabulous lake house. There is a theme here of water, maybe because I am seeing so much of it (seriously Dallas, ENOUGH with the rain). Y’all, does the sun even exist anymore?! I digress. Who wouldn’t want to spend their

Yellow isn’t necessarily on my top list of colors I covet, yet it does bring fond memories of my great grandmother’s home. A yellow home, a yellow front door, and a yellow kitchen. Believe me when I tell you, it was actually quite chic, despite how it may sound. The walls in the home in

Anouska Hempel. How I haven’t done a feature of her work is beyond me. When it comes to potted boxwood, she rules the world. She creates these abundant, overflowing pots of boxwood  (stay tuned next week on how to achieve that) that instantly have the ability to transform an environment into one with a magical

I love discovering new design talent, and I love it even more when I get a chance to speak with them. Anne Hepfer isn’t new to the industry by any means. She worked for Daniel Romualdez on Tory Burch’s jaw-dropping Manhattan home and has always had an eye to create fresh spaces that are timeless and

French bistro chairs are the ideal addition to any breakfast nook or countertop. It is the one chair that can insert pattern and texture, while being versatile and extremely functional. French bistro chairs can come in a plethora of colors and find homes around table tops of modern design or traditional interiors. I like them as
