    A Guide to Decorating a New Home — Part II (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    This series is meant as a resource for decorating a new home. I was inspired by friends who’ve recently moved into their first homes and didn’t know where to start — it got me thinking about how I'd tackle it myself, stage by stage. Part I covered the immediate needs when starting from scratch: a sofa, lighting, curtains, rugs, and more. If that's where you are, check it out here. Part II picks up after you've caught your breath and are ready to start making the place yours. Although I was plann

    Singular Finds: vol 7 (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I get so jealous of people who go to estate sales regularly. It’s not really a thing in New York, or if it is, I’m not on that circuit. Occasionally, when I’m in Connecticut visiting my mom, I’ll see signs for estate sales, but chasing my own personal boondoggles just isn't in the cards with two little kids right now. Instead, I get my antique and vintage shopping fix online in stolen moments, most often lying in bed late at night when I really should be sleeping. Every month, I round up the bes

    Things That Don’t Exist But Should (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    For as long as I can remember, I’ve made notes in my head of things I wish existed and have searched high and low for, with no success. A couple months back, while in England, I finally started writing them down in my Notes app — and eventually shared them in a Substack Note, which got some endorsements and sparked a bunch of new ideas.To be clear, some of these things exist elsewhere but not in America; some are only vintage (or custom) and not easy to track down; some are j

    The Coffee Table Formula I Finally Cracked (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    I’ve always thought a coffee table says more about a person than any other part of the home. It’s a small space with a concentrated amount of decor, so it ends up as a kind of snapshot of you. I love studying other people's coffee tables, just to see what they reveal. (Wait, that’s actually a good idea -- a coffee table book about coffee tables.)<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!erA8!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fs

    Get the Look (at Home): Cozy Nooks (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Have you ever noticed that adults seem to fit into one of two categories: summer people or fall people – perhaps with a tiny sliver who appreciates both. This post is for the two ends of the seasonal spectrum and everyone in between. Because I think we can all agree that curling up in a cozy nook is one of the best parts of the temperature cooling.I’m a lover of both seasons with a foot slightly more in summer. So, I created this edit in part to get myself excited for fall (while I still wring e
