A seasonal tablescape is one of my favorite decorating components to put together, especially in the fall. When it comes to Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving or any get together – I find autumnal colors and textures to be so beautiful and comforting. I was very excited to collaborate with Birch Lane on a fall inspired table setting […]
Earlier this month I threw a baby shower for one of my best friends who is expecting a baby boy in the fall. It was so fun to put together a party celebrating something so special and I loved finding a lot of little personal details that reminded me of her. I shared a bit […]
Every year right before Mother’s Day rolls around my mom says “Don’t get me anything!” It is pretty much her default for any holiday, but of course I always get her a little something. When I lived and LA and had no money I started making my mom, Ina Garten’s lemon cake and wrapping it […]
Although it is not quite spring and I don’t even have an outdoor space, I am always dreaming of al fresco entertaining and breezy tablescapes.

Whether it is a pair of vintage candlestick holders or a champagne bucket, I love how silver tones can add a bit of shine to a simple […]
Ah, now that life is headed in a more normal direction – wedding season is in full swing. I was so happy to celebrate my best friends wedding over the weekend, but admittedly was so out of practice with putting nice gifts together. With three showers under my belt this year and more weddings on […]
I recently styled a photoshoot for the wonderful Adelaide Thomas winery and putting together florals and a cheese spread had me missing hosting even the smallest of gatherings. Although life isn’t completely back to normal by any means, I am starting to feel a bit of a shift and looking forward to one day hosing […]
I have talked a lot about my love for Elsie Green in the past, but if you are new here it is one of my favorite resources for vintage French homewares. I recently had the opportunity to go to the stunning Elsie Green warehouse and shop in Concord and style a table using some of […]
