Sorry for the silence, everyone! A string of projects, shoots and events kept us from our duties. To make it up to you, here's a table setting full of bright, brilliant color we created for last month’s event at Travadavi in Atlanta. As soon as I saw this prismatic print from Lulu DK in candy-coated colors of coral, teal, navy and…
Have you seen the new special issue on organizing from Martha Stewart? I was surprised to find two projects I produced years ago as the Senior Style Editor at Living. For a bathroom without shelves in an apartment above Martha's carriage barn in Bedford, I had six brass shelf brackets nickel-plated, then paired them with lightweight lacquered trays for extra storage.…
If you want to go treasure hunting with me in D.C. or Atlanta, we still have a few spots left! I always love sharing my secrets on how to find (and reimagine!) the very best things at the flea market, including china, silver, linens, furniture, fabric and art.

Our first stop will be on Sunday, March 4th in Chantilly, Virginia for one my favorite flea markets, the Big D.C. Flea, where I'll show you how to find (and style!) the very best things, including…

Summer had just begun, and I was on the hunt, this…

In my catering days, I cultivated a voracious appetite for ironstone platters, layering one upon other in precarious stacks that have since followed me from city to country.
