Do you ever mentally decorate a place that you don’t own and likely never will? Maybe I’m just “mental”, but I find myself doing it way too often. It’s like a favorite past-time for me. So, go with me here…as I’m savoring the pages of Garnet Hill last night, I decide that if I had a beach house, I’d forego the soothing muted coastal inspired palette for fun and cheerful decor layered over a neutral background of white washed walls, ceilings and floors scattered with seagrass rugs. Think navy and white throughout with accents of orange, pink and lime in various rooms. Lord knows I need more pink in my life. It would be chocked full of things just like this…

She thoughtfully decks out her creations… Read More
Chandelier Sleeves
