Hidden Magic | In The Foyer
PCC is back! Affiliate links are included in this post for your convenience. Read more about affiliate links here. One of the things I hear a lot from people about updating their home is that they just DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START. They know they want to update or change a space but have…
Nightfall | In A Teen Girl’s Room
Happy Friday lovelies!! On Monday I shared about how I’m finally finishing up my 16 year daughter’s room with a new duvet and shams from Crane & Canopy. We’re still waiting on a pretty lumbar pillow to arrive and then the room will be 100% DONE. After 2+ years. 🙂 We move slowly around here!…

Gentleman’s Gray | In (Our) Powder Room
Hi friends!!!! I’ve been on blog hiatus this week while our three munchkins are on winter break. We visited my brother-in-law’s new lake house, skied a couple days, and ate and ate and ate.

Antoinette Pink | In A Little Girl’s Room
Happy Friday lovelies! We got 14-16″ of snow yesterday, and today it’s all blue skies and sun, making the world a winter wonderland!

Paint Color Crush || CLASSIC GRAY

Blue Cheese Stuffed Peppadews
Sometimes, simple is so good. Here’s an idea. Next time you’re at the grocery store, look for peppadews. They are sweet little hollowed out peppers I can usually find in the help-yourself olive bar of my local grocery stores. You might also spot them in the pickles-and-jarred peppers aisle. Then stuff those cute little peppadews…

Caprese Salad
While the fresh local veggies are still in abundance here in the Northeast, I’m taking advantage of the farmer’s market. Is there anything so delicious as a ripe, juicy tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil, and a balsamic dressing for a hint of zesty sweetness? So simple and fresh. Oh how I love this time…
