Hello, hello! It’s a big weekend around here… we celebrated Chanel’s birthday yesterday (hence the huge cup of coffee in my hand as I recover from last night’s “punch”), and now we’re all anxiously awaiting the arrival of our editor-in-chief Lauren’s baby tomorrow! Can’t believe there’s going to be a newborn in our midst, and […]
Downton I adore you, but my first love on PBS will always be Antiques Roadshow. If you haven’t already discovered it for yourself, the show is part adventure, part history lesson, and part treasure hunt for those who love history and stories revealed through unique objects.

When you take a look around the Hugheys’ home, little tidbits of Kerri’s grandmother’s legacy are everywhere: black and white nostalgia in the form of old photographs, a simple wooden recipe box full of delicious thoughts and scribbles, a white and red cabinet in the kitchen. Across from the cabinet hangs one of Ed’s prized possessions: […]
It was so fun getting to share our new studio space that we posted a couple weeks ago, and a lot of you expressed interest in seeing more details and hearing about how we keep things looking so clean and organized. I’ll admit that it’s a constant challenge — some days we might get huge […]
When I visit someone’s house, my favorite thing to do is to sneak a peak in their pantry or fridge. It’s like looking through their medicine cabinet…you can learn a lot about a person from what they keep in their crisper, not to mention getting inspired with great ideas for what to stock yourself.
