I feel like this is the longest I have gone without posting since I started my blog back in 2016! It is hard to believe it has been almost ten years since Harlowe James began and how much has changed since those early days. I know blogging in itself might seem antiquated with the rise […]

A few years ago I binge watched the docuseries, The Lost Kitchen on HBO and fell head over heels for the rustic restaurant set in an old grist mill in Maine. I am now an avid Erin French fan and would love to make the trek to Freedom someday to dine in the restaurant. If […]

I have yet to stay at the hotel Peter & Paul in New Orleans (someday!), but every single time I look at photos of this stunning property I am reminded how much I love the use of gingham in interiors – and in general. They way they layer gingham on everything from canopy beds to […]

I wrote a blog post in reference to furniture pieces that are ideal for under a TV a while ago, but I figured it was due for an update. It seems that furniture for under a TV can be one of the harder pieces for many to source since I often get asked about some […]

I got a lot of lighting recommendation requests recently, so I thought it was about time I put a new post together. […]

It can also be quite pricy, especially when looking for something large […]

I am a 90’s baby through and through. However, I was born in 1990 so I didn’t get to experience all of the trends as an adolescent. Sure I had my Steve Madden slinky slides, but it wasn’t until I became an adult that I gained a much bigger appreciation for this decade. I was […]

I just did and Instagram questions box asking you all what you are struggling to find and one of the top requests was coffee tables! Along with oversized art (a post to come on that soon) there were dozens of requests for specific coffee table styles. I have actually been meaning to do a post […]
