Twenty twelve. Has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? Typically, I like to completely start over when a new year begins. Start a crash diet. Fail at a crash diet. Wipe the slate clean and forget ab...
Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year.
I realized this morning that I didn’t blog yesterday. Sorry about that. I’ve never done that before. But I have a good excuse. The truth is that I was busy playing Santa. Or an elf. That&...
Just a quick snap shot of The O’Country Club taken by my iphone when I was last onsite. All the furniture is in. We’re almost there. All we need is need that final layer of accessories (m...

This scene is from the movie Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (1948) staring Cary Grant. A client was teasing me during our consultation that I sounded just like this when talking about paint c...
If making Christmas wreathes isn’t your thing, how about making this incredible wall art using colored pencils instead? I think this is just about the coolest thing. What an insanely creative i...
I was scrolling through The Iconic Blog the other day and came across a post sharing DIY Christmas crafts via Martha Stewart. One picture in particular struck me as something totally doable. It was t...
I’m working with a new client who just bought a beautiful new home in Falls Church, VA. Since the house is currently empty, we have a rare chance to get down and dirty without disrupting any da...

I randomly wandered into The Limited a few days ago while I was in the mall picking up my new iPhone. I used to LOVE The Limited. It was my go-to shop for years. But lately, it’s been missing t...
While in Boston last weekend, David and I stopped into Sweet in Harvard Square for a sweet treat. I’ve made a personal promise to myself to try every and all cupcakes that I come across (good i...
While we are on the subject of gift giving (Do you like how I posted MY Christmas wish list on David’s birthday? Classy, right?), I think C.Wonder, who just opened a flagship store in the Big A...

Dear Santa, I’ve been very good this year. Despite what you might have heard. Seriously. Here are some things that I would love to have under my tree. Wishful thinking, I know. Have you lost w...
Over the weekend, David and I strolled through an outdoor craft market in Harvard Square where I spotted a vendor selling these pleasant holiday cards from Albertine Press. I thought the images and t...
We’re back from Boston and it’s so nice to be home. Although, truth be told, I certainly wouldn’t mind coming home to this loft apartment… …especially since it’s i...
If watching Boardwalk Empire and Ken Burn’s Prohibition has taught me anything, it’s that drinking champagne out of a saucer/coupe is way more sophisticated than a champagne flute. It ha...
The first decision is one I have been waffling on for some time. Since our new sofa arrived, I have been pondering what color our the little tufted wood/cane chairs should be. They have been brown fo...

Confession. I am a total sucker for pretty packaging and clever sales slogans and pitches. Fat free? Totally. Then I can eat entire box. Buy one get one? Don’t mind if I do. So, when I saw the ...
