Little known fact: back when I was obsessed with making ice cream, I reached out to the owners of Churned to see if I could be their head ice cream maker. They were very polite in saying, “no.” This was before I even tried the place and I thought, “pssh,...
I remember seeing something when I was little that said, “When I grow up I will dye my hair purple.” I was maybe 10, and I thought, “YES, when I grow up I will most certainly dye my hair purple!” I am so completely in love with this lady...
For Christmas decorating this year, we decided on a theme of “neutral natural.” At first I wanted ALL THE THEMES — Scandinavian black and white, midcentury pink and teal, rustic ski lodge, traditional plaid… you name it, I wanted it! I’m kind of crazy like that, but obviously I really had...
We’ve been thinking a lot about moving lately … but no, WE aren’t going anywhere! Actually, one of our best friends is in the process of moving, and the exciting news is that Andy and I have been hired to help her with interior design and renovation at the new...
I saw some pretty awesome things this week I wanted to share with you: I wish I’d thought of this: a 7th grader asked for federal assistance to clean his bedroom. Joey Potter advice for Katie Holmes.

Kerry had to work on Thanksgiving and I had the day off. Usually that means I would sit on the couch all day and play video games. But we had just received a new TV stand in the mail, and I thought I’d surprise her by having it all set...
This colorful vintage farmhouse kitchen is one of my all-time favorites. Keeping the walls, countertops and cabinets all white allows for layering in lots of color in poppy reds, turquoise blues, mint greens, and lemon yellows. The beadboard on the island and the open shelving give this kitchen a...
We took a road trip to Philadelphia this weekend. I’d never been before, and I had the best time. We did a ton of touristy things in one day: the Liberty Bell, the National Constitution Center, Love Park, and the Rocky Statue. This room at the National Constitution Center was my...
