The New House & Life




Here are some interior shots of our new location for House & Life in Scranton, Pennylvania. We renovated an old home to house our wares and interior design studio. I painted the walls a paper brown and the ceiling got a coat of Robin's egg blue. I just love it!

Cottage Envy




I was delighted that my Cottage Living came through my mail slot on this rainy night. Although "The Office Convention" here in Scranton ( yes, that Scranton) is going on down the Hill from me, my 17 month old Georgia has other plans for me. So I was happy to get some excitement from the article on Cottage Living's former decorating editor Fran Keenan's adorable cottage in Birmingham Alabama. I love her play on patterns and cozy approach. I just love her little girl's room with the giant, multicolor letters. I used that same giant houndstooth for a client's roman shades, so chic!

coat that makes you smile


This coat from J Crew's holiday collection just made my heart skip a beat. The canary yellow and toggles are tough to beat. I think I'm going to put it on my wish list from Santa (aka, my husband Jerard).

Excitement

I'm excited to announce our new blog, House and Life. Thank you for tuning in.
