Five Must-Do’s to your Home for Summer!
Do you make seasonal changes to your home? Making seasonal changes does not mean bringing up a tote from the basement of seasonal decor. It actually could mean the opposite, especially in the summer. Taking things away. For me it does. I put away all the heavy throw blankets and the fuzzy wool pillows (that I LOVE so much). Spring is still chilly for us in Connecticut, so the real changes come about June. I have heard of people removing rugs in the summer for a more drastic change. Besides putting away the heavy throws and wool pillows I move things around, just changing art from one nail ... Read More
A Black and White Modern meets Vintage Connecticut Home Tour
I have a treat for you today! I asked my friend Annie from Most Lovely Things if I could stop by and just stare at her home and also take pictures to share a home tour with you! Really I wish she would just turn the house over to me. It is my FAVORITE home. Modern meets Vintage style or could also fall under Eclectic. The kitchen just pulls at my heart in so many ways. I feel warm, loved, hugged, inspired and all the other adjectives when I am in it. I met Annie from another mutual friend in Connecticut. We all met for lunch and Annie and I hit it off. We are not the same age, and that is ... Read More
HGTV Full Magazine Spread- 1100 Square Feet Then and Now!
HGTV Magazine came out to our home (as you know) in October of 2016. It was a great experience and I shared all the behind the scene pictures on THIS blog post and how the shoot came to be.

Home Tour this New England Charming Home with the Blue Door
The house with the "Blue Arched Door" is one I point out to visitors as we walk to the beach or I stop and take a picture of it when I run by. It was one of the very first photos I shared on Social Media- I even guessed what the color of the blue door is. So when Marybeth the now owner of the "House with the Blue Arched Door" sent me an email saying that she is a reader of my blog and would love to meet me. I said "Yes! Can I come see your house and take photos??" And oh man I am so happy that she reached out, she brightened my day in every way. I was actually surprised that her charming New ... Read More

Coastal Living Eclectic Beach House Tour
You are in for a treat! I got to tour the most character filled Coastal home in my neighborhood. I actually saw this home in our local Fairfield, Connecticut magazine.

Not to mention that yellow door is very distinct and eye catching. I reached out to Gaelle and asked if I could come peep inside her home, because I am a creeper like that:) and I knew all of you would LOVE to see this.
