Sculptural, Warm, & Dramatic—The Trick to a PERFECT Room!
Guys, can we just take a moment to appreciate this room design because I am SO in love with how it came together?! Modern, classic, layered, and (here’s the best part!) every single piece is from Amazon. Yes, really!! Affordable, accessible, and absolutely stunning!!! I believe that EVERY room should be livable,…
Musings on Wilder than Wild
Happy Friday! I never expected to be sitting here in the wilds of Nantucket. To be honest, I imagined this would be quite a traditional place with lots of American flags and blue dresses, but this island is full of surprises! I didn’t know it was so wild. I mean, like truly…
Gardening Is the New Luxury—Here’s How to Get the Look!
Guys, I’ve heard it said that gardening is the new luxury and honestly?! I couldn’t agree more!! So many of us pour our hearts (and our budgets!) into the inside of our homes—which makes COMPLETE sense because that’s where we spend most of our time—but we have this WHOLE other space waiting…
Soft & Romantic OR Moody & Modern? You Decide!
Guys, I had so much fun putting these two dining rooms together and I CANNOT wait to share them with you! Here’s the really cool part—both rooms share THREE of the exact same pieces (the dreamy upholstered dining chairs, that gorgeous sculptural vase, and those woven baskets tucked underneath), and yet… they…
V’s Strawberry Shortcake
Guys, this strawberry shortcake is EVERYTHING and I cannot wait for you to try it! Here’s the thing—it’s not your typical shortcake.

Musings on an Endless Summer
Omg. Guys. It is officially MAY!! It has been such an epic week!! Eeekk! We got an email from a local farm that strawberry season had begun and “you pick” was opening and after wrapping up a bit of work yesterday, we just decided to drop everything else we were doing…
Front Porch Season: The Refresh I’ve Waited Years For
Guys, I did something this week that I’ve been dreaming about for YEARS. Since the moment we moved into this home, I’ve wanted a front porch that actually felt like a front porch—you know, the kind you read about in novels and see in those dreamy Southern movies. There’s just something about…
V’s Herbaceous Cheddar Biscuits
Can we talk about these biscuits for a second?! Because I genuinely cannot stop making them. Flaky, buttery, loaded with cheddar and fresh herbs, baked in a cast iron skillet — they are EVERYTHING. The trick is cold butter, don’t overwork the dough, and butter on top before AND after baking because…
Musings on a Dream Life
And here we are again. What a treat it is to greet you on yet another eve of the weekend! I’ve lost count how many times we have met like this, but I must say that I am so grateful! These moments feel like stolen little moments in the midst of the…
