Our corner planter at the studio is starting to look a little sad - spring has come and gone. Time to say goodbye to the faded blooms and hello to some fresh summer color! I guess I am heading to the garden center this weekend! ______________________
For the past few weeks, we have been treating Mulligan for an ear infection. Since he absolutely hates having his ears touched, it has turned into quite the daily adventure. Every morning, I brace myself to see how tricky he will be. Most days, he b
Mulligan used to be terrified of water. Now? He’s a total beach babe. Unfortunately, the beach is now closed to dogs - but don’t tell him that. Every time we pass the entrance, he tries to drag us back like it’s his life’s mi
Scott and I started (re)watching Cheers this weekend. Growing up, the show’s catchy intro music and vintage barroom imagery marked the moment my grandparents would retreat to their bedroom for their evening movie. Today, watching Cheers carrie
It finally feels like we stepped into summer today! Who is ready for the beach? ___________________________________________ Here is a look at the second-floor hallway in our #AGA_BrooklineProject - a beautiful blend of old and new. This view capture
We have friends who have used red and green stop lights to teach their kids when it is okay to wake up and when it is time to stay in bed. Lately, I have been wishing we could do the same thing with Mulligan. Each night he sleeps in his crate, but co
#JUNEMOOD The start of summer has officially arrived, and we are soaking up the longer days, warm evenings, and endless moments with friends and family at Heron Knoll. This is our first time experiencing our garden in bloom, and it is magical to wa
Today we tested out a new setup: the gate that once kept puppy Mulligan from snacking on the dried moss in the office palm tree has found a new home - now serving as the perfect gate at our side door! Mulligan is thrilled about his new post as studi
When we moved into Heron Knoll, I bought three Myrtle topiaries. For years, I have struggled to keep them alive with little success. I don’t want to jinx it, but Myrtle, Yurtle, and Turtle are still going strong after three months! ____________
Last weekend, my cousin and I were enjoying a sun-filled morning on our terrace. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a flicker of movement - a dragonfly hovered nearby. I turned to my cousin and said, “Look, a dragonfly! It’s the first
Happy Memorial Day!🇺🇸
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of watching my nephew Golden Retriever - Bernard. I have about a thousand stories about Bernard and Mulligan, and I can never get enough of them. They are the cutest pair, and it is heartwarming to see how Mulligan, t
One of my favorite phases of any project is the blank slate. When everything is stripped down, and the bare bones and history of a structure are laid bare, it is a moment of pure potential. While redecorating a room can be rewarding, there is somethi
Our new neighborhood stroll takes us along a charming little path that leads to a lookout over the ocean. On a clear day, you can see all the way past the Boston Harbor lighthouses, reaching out toward Hull and Scituate. Whenever we make a stop at t
Our first visit to #HeronKnoll was in early October. The grass was still lush and green, and the trees still held most of their leaves. However, we had not yet seen the property in full bloom. As spring progresses, we have been delighted to watch ou
Mulligan and I have settled into a new morning routine at Heron Knoll. It begins with a cup of coffee in our dining room. I love every room in our home (even the ones still waiting to be finished), but the dining room may be my favorite. After much
Finally a sunny spring Sunday in New England! Enjoy the day! _______________________________________________ Here is one of the guest bedrooms from our #AGA_BeverlyFarmsproject - soft blue and crisp white help create a breezy coastal aesthetic in th
