How To Install Sconces without Hardwiring (Puck Light Trick)
Years ago, I read a blog post about the “magic light trick” for sconces. I vowed I’d try it one day and finally tried it myself with two simple gold sconces flanking our family room TV. I love sconces used in design – from reading lights in a bedroom to sconces in built-ins, over art and more – they add such a beautiful touch to a ...
Our Family Room Holiday Decor
I started decorating for Christmas on November 1st this year. After the collective challenges we’ve all experienced as a result of the ongoing and seemingly never-ending pandemic, I wanted to feel that holiday joy sooner and for longer, by adding festive touches to our home.

I've been taking my skincare to the next level this year, even though very few people actually see my face in person. I keep joking we'll all re-emerge in 2021 with the best skin of our lives. I think those of us currently working from ...
Friday Five
ONE I went back to work this week – I know that has surprised a lot of you – I was surprised too! We’ve always been told that our teams would not return to work in the office until there was a vaccine and/or positivity rates were low, but our entire building was told to report back to work. It’s nice seeing colleagues (wearing a mask and social ...
Beautiful Coffee Table Books: Interiors, Travel, Entertaining, Fashion & Garden
I think I may be addicted to coffee table books (you say that like it's a bad thing ;) ) I love flipping through them as I sip coffee on weekends (they're kind of an escape!) and I also love that they're stunning home decor accents - whether it's for a coffee table, console, etagere or dresser.

Friday Five
ONE It's beginning to look a lot like...Christmas! Look, I've never decorated for the holidays this early, ever. But 2020 is something of an oddity in all aspects and I decided I wanted to enjoy the greenery and sparkle a little longer. I'm changing up our tree this year to add this blue velvet ribbon (in Williamsburg blue) and some other fun ...
