When we first discovered Heron Knoll, we were thrilled at the prospect of having five working fireplaces. After several inspections and consultations, however, we realized that lighting a “safe” fire would require far more work than we or

Purchasing citrus trees became my winter snowstorm therapy this year - first a lemon tree, then a kumquat, and finally an orange tree. Yesterday felt like a milestone: the weather was finally warm enough to move them outside! ________________________
Yesterday I ran client errands in the Back Bay and caught myself thinking, “Is there anything better than springtime in New England?” A little reminder that this is just the beginning - summer will be here before we know it! ___________
It is hard to believe that nearly a year has passed since we moved into Heron Knoll. The day after the movers delivered our furniture and rugs, I found myself at @mahoneysgarden , loading up on houseplants. I always say no interior ever feels complet
Our painters have been busy in our foyer and hallways for the past two weeks. After living with contractor paper on the floors for a while, Scott jokingly said the other day, “I actually really like this paper. I think we should keep it.”

Just getting back into the swing of things! Maybe it was a software update or the holidays, but for a moment I forgot how to post a photo. All set now. As the decorations come down and winter carries on, I use this time to create special moments at
One of my favorite things about Heron Knoll, our home, is the way the ocean slowly reveals itself as summer fades. When the trees begin to shed their leaves, the distant blue emerges, shimmering through the thinning branches. ________________________

When Scott is out for the night, Mulligan takes his role as man of the house very seriously. Last night, he and the dog across the street were on full neighborhood watch - exchanging barks back and forth while the rest of us tried to get some sleep.

This week marks six months since we moved into Heron Knoll. Time has flown by, and yet in many ways, it already feels like home - perhaps because of everything we have accomplished since moving in. From refinishing floors to adding lighting, painting
When Scott and I first started living together, I would come home from the Design Center carrying bags full of project memos. After a few months, he asked, “You don’t actually pay for all these samples, do you?” Luckily, most of th
One of my favorite things about our new Marblehead studio location is its incredible street visibility. Situated on the corner of Washington and State Street, Mulligan gets to watch a fascinating parade of passerby: tourists from nearby states, all t
