The Potted Citrus doesn’t quite have the same ring as The Potted Boxwood, but it does have the (almost) same glorious effect. I love seeing a lemon or orange tree sitting proudly and abundantly in a heavy terracotta planter. It brings the elegance of a European garden. Rows of potted citrus, two flanking a door, or

When I was younger I always had a complex about my brows. They are full, which I blame entirely on my dad. My mom loved(s) them. She would never let me touch them, but only get waxed professionally and only to “clean them up” never to shape them. Her way to get my middle school

I was recently going through a special edition of Southern Living: Small Space Ideas. It is a fantastic issue that I highly recommend purchasing for inspiration for those jewel box spaces. While big new homes tend to have a place for everything and fresh sense of self, I think small charming homes are a little more

In many places, especially Florida, driveways are often the first thing you see. Let’s face it, they are not often pretty.

Only two hours by plane from Manila and yet so very different, Hong Kong is such a vibrant city with incredible energy and landscape. The people there were incredibly posh, you could barely walk a street corner without passing a perfectly polished woman holding a Birkin. Not even kidding, there is an Hermes epidemic (only

I embarked on an Asian Adventure last week that left all of you without posts, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t thinking about all of you on my trip. In fact, the trip was completed with The Potted Boxwood in mind. An exploratory adventure of digging for treasure, meeting with skilled craftsman, and broadening horizons.

While I am focusing on all my travel essentials, I didn’t want to leave you without one great post to hold you over for the next week (yes, I am taking a week off- so be sure to check instagram for fun photos). I recently came across the work of Andrew Skurman Architects who operates

I am getting ready to embark on a long travel journey and travel essentials are just about all I can think about. I am not talking long like 3 or 4 or 5 hours. I am talking long as in travel experts even complain of the distance. It is often said that travel is the

I have mentioned before my appreciation and obsession with Christopher Spitzmiller lamps. The odds are substantial that if you see a beautifully designed room, his lamps are somewhere in the mix. Spitzmiller is the master of his craft, so it is no wonder that his upstate New York home would be crafted with the same
