Summer is upon us and with it come longer days and happy doses of sunshine. I love to work with yellow fabrics this time of year - they are a great way to bring some of that summer sunshine indoors. Either as feminine florals, fresh geometrics or sophisticated...

I have long been a fan of handmade quilts, the kinds with lots of fabrics intricately pieced together to create a kaleidoscope of colors. Quilts are quintessentially American; even though their historical roots run deeper than the nation, they often get...

I'm equal opportunity when it comes to color, but only recently have I truly loved decorating with blue. I now appreciate its universal appeal and find that it works well in so many settings. As the weather warms, it seems like a great time to accent...

My baby daughter is only 3 months old, but I'm already thinking about a playspace for her as she gets older and starts to crawl and walk. Playrooms can be a challenge — kiddie items can be, well, ugly, and trying to corral toys with functional furniture...

The Moroccan pouf has become a must-have home accessory. Its versatility and simple design make it the perfect functional accent for any space. As a footstool in a den, a perch in a bedroom or children's seating in a play spot, it can work in so many...

Right around October and November, the color orange comes into the spotlight. This warm, natural hue gets a lot of autumnal fanfare, but it seems to fade in popularity once winter hits. But orange happens to be my favorite color, and I think it is the...

Fall has finally arrived! By far, fall is my most favorite season of the year: It ushers in all things cozy and warm in my home. I am a serial throw blanket collector, so as soon as I feel a chill in the air, I pull out my many blankets and curl up with...

Thanks to the Internet, art need not be an unknown (and expensive) world for the "regular" person. So many websites offer a variety of art for every taste, and I find that my personal preference definitely skews toward modern, abstract pieces bursting...

I'm happy to say that the garden stool has become quite ubiquitous in interior design. It is one of my absolute favorite elements to use in a room due to its versatility. These stools are so easy to move from room to room and provide just enough surface...

With a little one due in December, I have shifted my home decor thoughts to outfitting a nursery. The marketplace is full of options for the baby's room, but I don't want it to feel like I grabbed everything from a catalog. I like to add handmade touches...

I love the boldness of red. It's actually one color that I don't use much of in my home, but I am so drawn to it in fabrics and accents. Perhaps it's the July Fourth holiday right around the corner, but I've been so interested in red fabrics lately. I...

As spring arrived this year, my thoughts immediately turned to pink. It's one of my favorite colors and I love to use it in small doses throughout my home. I have always loved pink fabrics; it's a color that mixes so well with other hues, and fabrics...

My friends Katy and Brian are expecting a baby girl this spring, and they asked me to help them with a nursery design. Katy loved the idea of creating a space using yellows and grays, and we thought pink was the perfect accent color to decorate their...

Lamp pairs give symmetry, color and personality to a space. Using beautiful lamps in pairs is one of my favorite design tools, and I have a great time finding pairs for my projects. Although there are lots of gorgeous new lamps on the market,...

Mirrors are my favorite decorative accessory for a room; they always create a beautiful focal point. Nothing brings me more joy than a golden-hued mirror sparkling in a space. Through my decorating adventures, I have found that mirrors can create...
