Magazines have been the heartbeat of my work life. It has also been my friend Ki Nassauer’s. So when so many publishers stopped publishing our issues we both had to find another medium to share our love of homes and anything home related.
This week I am sharing and celebrating Ki’s new endeavor: her beautiful digital magazine LIVED-IN STYLE. If you love vintage you will love this colorful, nostalgic, endearing, and informative publication.
A pure palette offers the perfect backdrop for a variety of color accents, from soft to deeper hues. There is nothing boring with white, especially when enliven with a bit of color, textures, and layers. Take a look at these various rooms and decor, and discover how lovely the mix can be.
Some photoshoots are like no others and stay imprinted on my mind forever. And such is the case of this 2013 Michigan Christmas shoot. I love it as much to day as I did then and it stills fills me with the nostalgia of simple days. I hope it speaks to you too, especially now when so much innocence is lost in the clutter and clatter of Cyber shopping.
It’s not easy to meet face to face these days but if you are longing to see a few friends you might enjoy a fun girls-only get-together (given you are keeping the occasion to a minimum and and stay safe). Maybe someone in your close circle got engaged and you would love to celebrate the happy news? Or maybe you just want to create a pretty setting complete with easy summer treats just for you and your besties? Follow these simple ideas to bring a festive little setting to your backyard. Happy summer!
I know many of you have a fondness for French style (not just French Country) and a penchant for romantic elements.
Fortunately, French and romantic styles are made for each other. And both often meet in a variety of ways––from pristine to rustic, traditional, elegant, vintage, salvage, primitive, and more. But when it comes to the ‘romance’ part of the equation a little frill goes a long way! Think “ruffles with restraint.”
