Last week House Beautiful hit newsstands and mailboxes with some unique projects featured from Fawn Galli and Jeffrey Bilhuber.  The ideas come from beautiful inspirations that are worth a close look. I’ve been quietly watching Fawn Galli’s work for a while now. She takes the time to acquaint herself with her clients by tapping into their [...]

If you picked up the New York Times this morning and leafed through the Home section, you may have noticed a quick hit on the Stephen Sills preview exhibition at The Apthorp apartments in Lambertville, N.J. Sills filled the space with a mix of classic and modern pieces that will be auctioned off later this month. [...]

Anthropologie’s Greenfynch settee, shown above in Padrina, called out to the beach cravings I’ve been having this week.

This abstract, mixed media piece consists of found wood collected in Brooklyn and Vermont and measures 60 x 76 [...]

The Midwest in general is cold. The word “steely” comes to mind because the upper Midwest is so frigid that, if no longer accustomed to it, one’s body is always stiff.  The back is ramrod straight, the teeth and other body parts are clenched. After spending eight years in South Carolina, I returned to the [...]

 FBT is returning with something very special. January is the time to think about refreshing a home with small touches after having cleared out the holiday clutter.  L’Objet is known for unique accessories that owner and designer Elad Yifrach creates with an uncanny ability to endure each piece to it’s eventual home. Yifrach recently collaborated [...]

We all know that the best gifts are often bursting with gesture rather than material.  Starting today, One Kings Lane is offering members the opportunity to express those thoughts that matter most through a partnership with Paperless Post.  The Thoughtful Gestures E-Card is a way to show those whom you love the most just how [...]

Let’s get right to it, as you are surely immersed in your holiday errand list for this weekend (my own includes preparations for a brunch, replacement decorations and, of course, gift shopping).   The Joia Reversible Clutch comes to us from an incredibly thoughtful and aesthetically-minded brand called Hammocks & High Tea, based out of [...]
