In honor of our huge lamp sale, check out this week’s light fixture installation. I was happy to lend a hand in getting this piece up and the delight in seeing it installed is worth the price of climbing the ladder on the counter. 😉

This piece by highlights everything we love about coastal living and design. Created with sea glass, the fixture provides natural texture that evokes warmth and elegance throughout the space.

As you know, I’m a huge fan of statement light fixtures and this piece provides a touch of whimsy and interest to our project by the sea.

Who doesn’t love a transformation??

Even little houses can make a big impression. We restored this sweet little house tucked away in Marblehead’s Historic District to reveal the true beauty lying just beneath her surface. The entry sets the tone with “Imperial Gates” grass cloth installed on the ceiling, a whimsical light fixture by and the new stair runner by hints at the creative and colorful rooms throughout.

Scroll through & check out the “before’s”…. It’s always fun to see what we started with & the impact transformation can make.

Our project at Littles Point is evolving beautifully. Scroll through as we captured a few of the details that are stand out. Notice how we mixed Sea glass colors on the bespoke pillows, Upholstery & wall coverings to reflect the impact of use from this round. Swivel chairs from recently installed add texture and Seaside chic to the space.

natural light fills this room beautifully and creates the perfect ocean view oasis.

Today while we are installing the custom upholstered wall and cabinets in the guest room, ( which I’ll show upon completion 😉) I’m entirely pleased with myself by how gorgeous the kitchen has turned out.

Scroll through to see the perspective on this kitchen. Honestly, I’m obsessed.

We installed the cork paper by on the parlor ceilings adjacent to the kitchen and added it to the fireplace wall in the kitchen. Talk about drama !!
This paper transformed the space into a (dare I say.?.) sexy kitchen . The light fixtures are fabricated from recycled glass, we painted the island a dreamy blue and will be adding custom window treatments for the final reveal…

Can’t wait to show you the rest of the house when it’s complete !!

Bathrooms can be beautiful.
The most private room in your home deserves a touch of luxury. This is the place we prepare ourselves for the world, the space that provides the ultimate privacy and is an absolute necessity. Bathrooms are important!! Why not design them with intent and splurge a little with beautiful finishes and custom window treatments?

In this project, we furnished an historic home in Old Town with a unique collection of furnishings, fabrics and fabulousness.
Take a peek at two of the bathrooms, that were transformed from a utilitarian spaces into show stopping retreats worthy of spending oodles of quality “me-time”.

Could spring be just around the corner??

even if there’s 6 feet of snow out there, it’s bright and cozy in here. Adding touches of color can do wonders for the soul.

Newly arrived, pillows, tableware, and accessories are arriving daily. We are getting ready for the new season ahead even under all the snow.

Inspired by the ocean views, we are incorporating lovely sea glass hues in the wall coverings & fabrics to create a welcoming & elegant space.

Starting with a blank slate, we have added soft colors and textures. Reupholstering the client’s pieces and installing textured wall coverings gives a layer of warmth to feel more homey.

Check back to see how we are transforming this beautiful home into a show stopper.

Designer Tip: Consider reupholstering favorite pieces with knock out fabrics in leu of buying new furniture. If you really love it, then it’s worth the investment & reusing is so much more sustainable then buying new.
