A Stylish Farmhouse Living Room Makeover

I’ve been lusting after a country house in upstate New York for ages and these days the idea is actually a realistic prospect. I spend ridiculous amounts of time looking at real estate listings and while I have yet to find my dream house, I already have ideas for how I’d like to design it. This space, which belongs to One Kings Lane president Debbie Propst, is serving up some serious country house inspiration! The vibe is warm and relaxed yet refined and is filled with a mix of modern and vintage pieces. It strikes the perfect balance between …

Cognac Leather: The Unexpectedly Chic Texture You Need in Your Bedroom

Buttery soft leather is one of those sumptuous textures that can instantly make a room feel luxurious. I especially love the look of cognac colored leather. It’s neutral so it can pair with just about any color palette and it adds a rich and timeless quality. Here’s a peek at a bedroom I designed which features a lovely cognac leather bed. Inspired by the decor in one of my favorite brunch spots in LA, I juxtaposed the neutral leather with a beautiful aqua colored strie wallpaper by Farrow & Ball.

Watermelon Frosé

As I’ve gotten older, it’s become harder to spend quality time with my best friends. We all live in different cities now, one is married with children and with our busy lives and careers it’s rare that we’re all together in the same place.

Not too short, not too ripped up, not too high waisted and not too low waisted either.

Do you have a favorite pair of denim shorts that you love to wear? If so please share! And …

Ricotta Berry Toast

What are your 4th of July plans? I’m taking it easy today. During holidays like the 4th in NYC people make a mass exodus out of the city to the beach or the country and the usual hectic pace slows all the way down. It’s quiet, there aren’t as many people around and you can get reservations just about anywhere! It’s awesome! So today I’ll be taking advantage of the city being deserted I think I’ll have brunch, go for a walk in Central Park then spend some time with my nieces and nephews. Lazy days with no set agenda …
