It’s funny how sometimes, there’s nothing I’d rather do than dive into an engrossing novel to unwind…and other times (like this month), I’m totally in the mood for nonfiction works that enrich my body, mind and spirit. I’ll be heading to LA and Aspen during the next few weeks, and I’m loading up my iPad… read more
10 Best :: Splendid Summer Tables
At its heart, summertime is really all about feeling carefree, and this year I’m determined to carve out entire days when I turn off my laptop and just hang out with family and friends. I’m already planning a couple of hot weather shindigs that involve jumping in the pool and firing up the grill, so… read more
Transformed :: Copper Pipe Wall Sconce
Hi, my name is Claire, and I’m a lighting addict. If there’s one home accessory I can’t get enough of, it’s a good light fixture… but of course, this addiction often comes at the expense of my poor wallet. Today’s fun and seriously easy project will add interest to any room that’s needing some extra light. The swiveling… read more
In Season :: Spring Pea & Feta Pasta
Jeanine here, excited to chime in after Camille’s post earlier this week about kitchen staples. Today I’m sharing this super easy recipe that uses of one my favorite staple ingredients: dijon mustard. I just love the tangy kick it adds to salad dressings, avocado sandwiches, grilled salmon… I could go on and on. For this… read more
Moroccan “Date Night” with Hayneedle
Adam and I have been talking lately about how much we’d love to visit Morocco someday in the not-too-distant future, so when Hayneedle asked me to design my dream “date night at home,” I thought a bohemian-inflected Moroccan theme would be just the ticket. I can’t believe we’ve been married almost four years, and without… read more
Tastemakers :: Hops & Grain Craft Brewers
Apparently there’s a lot more to making beer than I ever knew. I suppose I never gave it much consideration, opening bottles and cans on hot summer days without a second thought. Feeling there was more to this beer thing, I met up recently with Josh Hare at his Austin-based Hops & Grain Brewery for… read more
My New Favorite :: Kitchen Staples
Lately I’ve been thinking about the ingredients that I reach for all the time; the ones I could never live without in the kitchen. Garlic, olive oil, herbes de provence, eggs, avocados, maple syrup… they’re standbys that I reach for on an almost-daily basis, and they never let me down. But there’s also a new guard rising… read more
Bring It Home :: Choosing Favorites
I (Cristina) was talking with a friend recently about the challenges of choosing a color palette when you’re sharing a space. Whether you’re cohabiting with friends, a significant other or your whole family, it can be quite the feat to design a space that will please everyone. My advice? When in doubt, choose blue. Forty percent… read more
Monochromatic Monday :: Spring Fling
I’ll admit — I’ve been holding on to that fabulous picture of Olivia Palermo since it was first published back in February! No palette is as definitively “spring” to me as pink and green. It’s the look of tennis courts, Masters jackets, freshly cut lawns, and graduation bouquets. (Did I mention preppy?) For interiors right… read more
Happy Mother’s Day!
Since Phoebe doesn’t turn one until August, this spring is full of “firsts” for us… it’s crazy to think that last Mother’s Day, she and I looked like this, and this year she is already crawling around and (her newest talent) waving “bye-bye!” It’s really been the most amazing year, and although motherhood does have… read more
