This weekend I came across homebuilders Border Oak, located in the UK, and was incredibly impressed at how they design and construct new build homes that look like they’ve been around forever.
This weekend I found (via Instagram) this beautiful antique house for sale in Essex, MA. It is chock full of garden and landscaping inspiration!
In my endless searching for kitchens I love I stumbled across Seattle-based designer Heidi Caillier. Her moody colors, use of bold color and range of style is really inspiring!
Remember when I went shopping for French press coffee makers after destroying my third glass one? Well, the reviews are in …

I discovered Phoebe Troyer on Pinterest, where she has an amazing board about her home in Ohio that kind of makes me want to paint everything in my house white, trade in my comfy furniture for classic ladderback chairs, and upholster everything in linen.

We’re going with an investment-grade range in our kitchen, which I know lots of people find wasteful, or indulgent. It’s probably both those things, honestly, but we all have different things we’re willing to splurge on. I drive a 12 year old car I bought off my in-laws, for example, but am willing to lay down cash when it comes to my kitchen range. Which is all to say – deciding to go with a pricey range is a big decision! Also, FYI, I’m not being paid or sponsored for this post (or ANY post – my poor little baby blog dreams of being paid for things, especially fancy French things), so my opinions are my own.

There is probably no piece of furniture I dislike more than coffee tables. Now I’m in the market for TWO coffee tables – one for our TV room, one for our living room, and I am STRUGGLING. Do you ever feel like you’ve overshopped for an item? Like you’ve compared so many different options they’ve all started to blend and you’re not sure what you want at all any more? That’s the rabbit hole I’ve been dealing with as my desire for something pretty conflicts with my need for something practical, and nothing quite seems to physically fit in my rooms with their challenging measurements. Here are a few of my issues, my inspiration, and some things I actually like!

Greydon House in Nantucket has hands-down amazing design, incorporating antiques, vintage pieces and nautical nods that come together in a modern way.
As promised last Monday, I’m back to share the modern paintings I’m obsessing over (and that I think would look amazing in a traditional or antique home)!
