The Mr. and I are not starting a family just yet, but my girlfriends are having babies left and right. Last weekend I attended two baby showers, and I was blown away by all the “stuff” there is out there for new Moms. You can imagine when the time comes for us and we are read more…
White Collar
Don’t judge, but I love this show. Growing up I used to watch Matlock and Murder She Wrote with Grandma Lizzie so I’m a sucker for mystery slash law and order type sitcoms. Check out this NYC pad and tell me you wouldn’t watch it just for the scenery … the good looking cast doesn’t read more…
The Other Draper…
After blogging about Downton Abbey yesterday, I thought about my other favorite shows and which ones had fabulous sets. Being in this field allows Mom and I to live vicariously through our client’s, and while we definitely have our own “style” we like to let our client’s style dictate their spaces. Appreciating good design, even read more…
Highclere Castle
A few client’s of mine mentioned to me ages ago that I should start watching Downton Abbey, if not for the story line but for the interior design. I don’t know what the hell is wrong with me and why I didn’t listen to them until recently, but I’m officially obsessed! The house, the grounds, read more…

Back From The Big Apple
Mom and I are back from a short trip to New York City. I don’t know what I loved more, the beautiful New York City architecture, the great vendors at the Gift Show, seeing one of my best girlfriends who lives in the city, or spending time with my Mama. I’m back to work for read more…
Vacation Highlights
The Mr. Hank and I returned late Wednesday from our 4.5 day trip to New England. I don’t know what I loved more, spending time with my family or completely unplugging from reality. At the house there is no internet, cable, telephone, heat or air condition, dish washer, washer or dryer, and no shower. Staying read more…

Glen Acres
Growing up every summer our family would spend two weeks in Massachusetts at my Grandmother and Great Aunt’s Summer house in the Berkshires. The home has been in our family since the early 1900’s and up until this summer not much has changed. My parents have been working hard throwing away old rugs and furniture read more…
Barry Dixon’s Garden and Grounds
Mom always said if she were ever to give another designer the key to her house and let them do whatever they wanted, it would be Barry Dixon. Traditional Home recently featured Mr. Dixon’s home Elway Hall in Virginia, which we had the privilege of visiting a few years ago on a House and Garden tour. read more…
