came have in a home!

celebrating the earth

Happy Earth Day!

It is after all, a day to celebrate the earth,

so why not enjoy a little bit of

gorgeous map décor?

Vintage maps and globes add so much

visual interest to a room,

just a little bit goes a long way!

What’s your favorite global look?

weekend inspiration

Bar carts are so versatile and pretty, 
indoors or outdoors.  

Keep a look out at yard sales or Goodwill 
for vintage ones.  

I got this one last year for $15.

a local home with a nantucket vibe

Here is a sneak peek into one of the houses 

that's at the top of my "fun" list.  

The colors and nautical influences just

 make me happy!

The bunk room for the grandchildren is so

charming and sleeps four comfortably. 
 

Here’s the sophisticated master bedroom,

with tons of Cape Cod beachy style.

On May 16th, this home, 

along with 5 other spectacular homes,  

will be open to be viewed on the 

Newport Harbor Home and Garden Tour.

We’ll be posting more photos of

this gorgeous home after that!

Stay tuned...

This cobalt blue color and

seashells create instant coastal charm.

 Interior design by Barclay Butera.

Lilly Pulitzer, the princess of preppy

Today marks the end of a fashion era and

the colorful Palm Beach style movement.

Our deepest condolences

go out to the Lilly Pulitzer family.

a little modern ranch house

This original 1950's California ranch home was recently updated and featured on the Newport Harbor Home Tour. 

It was one of my favorites on the tour for its simplicity and creativity in combining modern comforts with vintage style. I hope you enjoy the tour...
