Today I’m excited to share a gorgeous Cape Cod home decorated by Martha’s Vineyard Interior Design located in the charming town of Chatham. The talented architect was Salt Architecture and photos were taken by Michael J. Lee. You’ll find this delightful, seaside home to be light and airy with a slightly modern vibe. Interior spaces…
Outdoor porches are a true treasure during warm summer months, but not everyone likes the presence of bugs. Perhaps the best scenario is to create the ultimate indoor porch where you can still throw open the windows but keep the pests at bay with screens. See today’s collection and get ideas for creating a cozy…
Our garden is bursting with colorful flowers and ripening vegetables and I couldn’t be happier. I love this time of year and sometimes I enjoy simply standing in the garden watching the butterflies and inhaling the smell of the nearby tomato plants. I’m taking photos of my flower beds this weekend and will share them soon….
Having arrived home from England on Saturday evening left me little time to enjoy the weekend. But I managed to deadhead all the fading flowers and worked around the pond a bit to clean things up. We had a tornado come through town while I was gone and fortunately, none of our trees were knocked…
Yesterday I arrived back home after an amazing week-long trip to England. This was my first vacation across the pond and as expected, I fell in love with the beauty and history of the land. I did not fall in love with driving on the crazy roads! But that was a mere blip in the…
You’ll find plenty of historic homes in the northeast, but today we’re looking at a newer build by Martha’s Vineyard Interior Design. This Martha’s Vineyard dream home is open and spacious with wood, stone, and painted woodwork. If you’re a fan of a neutral palette, you’ll enjoy the serene beauty of this island home. Pendant…
I’m not sure when my love of painted floors began, but I think it had something to do with my grandmother’s squeaky clean basement floors that she painted battleship gray. Her basement was hands down, the cleanest basement I’ve ever seen. There wasn’t a spiderweb in sight, no stacked boxes of stored stuff, and had…
You’re going to love today’s warm and cozy beach cottage by Kate Jackson. There’s so much I find endearing about it. First, it’s located near water, and second, there’s plenty of texture and warmth throughout the home that feels so comfortable and eye appealing. This cozy corner features dark bamboo blinds, white trim, and a…
As I write this, I’m sitting in the Airbnb we rented in Windsor. Yes, I’m blogging while on vacation! I’m filling a bit of time before we head out for dinner. Tomorrow we travel to the Cotswold area and then it’s on to a waterlily and water gardening symposium for work. I’m combining pleasure and…
Would you? Could you? Live with a pink and green kitchen? Pink isn’t typically chosen as a kitchen cabinet color, but this little charmer by Wise Design & Remodel is a great representation of pairing pink cabinets with rich green tiles. Photo by Wise Design & Remodel LLC When I was a kid, my…
Grab a cup of coffee and get ready to be delighted by this colorful cottage by Orrick and Company dressed in casual style. This is a house I could move in to and not change a thing. There’s plenty of windows and unique details with a fresh, uplifting touch, Photo by Orrick & Company The…
Lately I’ve been thinking about our living room. For months I have wanted to change the paint color, and for some reason, I can’t make up my mind. Nothing is hitting me and saying “I’m your color!” To help with inspiration, I thought I’d share living rooms with beautiful style. Each one is unique (some…
Today we’re taking a tour of a gorgeous home garden on the property of a restored 1850’s house located in Wisconsin. The garden was designed and created by American Landscape and was a Gold Award Winner for Landscape Construction. The project involved keeping some of the original plantings intact while giving the yard a fresh…

And speaking of gardens, I’m sharing garden path ideas while Suzy and Janet feature fun and easy things to beautify your home any time of the year. Southern Hospitality | Spring at Gibbs Gardens…
If you ask me what style of kitchen is my favorite, I’d say cottage kitchens, hands down. They feel like grandma’s kitchen to me, but not in an old-fashioned way. Rather, a comforting way that reminds you of the love you feel when your grandmother bakes your favorite cookies. Or memories of sitting at the…
Today’s modern farmhouse tour would make Joanna Gaines proud. It carries her signature black and white farmhouse style and is located not far from where I live. Large double front doors let in plenty of natural light through their windows. I’m not a fan of exterior doors that don’t have a window. If privacy is…
