It's been almost five years since I first hired architects to make a renovation plan
for me. A lot has changed since then. I wasn't really looking at magazines, blogs
or Pinterest--there WAS no Pinterest!--to assemble my vision for the house.
The architects, who have since closed up shop, applied their

I don't know about you but I love Etsy. I've found some wonderful vintage items
as well as handmade products from shops around the world. So when friend, fellow blogger and interior decorator Carol Beck told me she was opening a shop, I couldn't wait to visit
and get a behind the scenes tour of

What a week!
With the capture and end of our lockdown came the rain as if right on cue. The rain felt like the perfect end to horrible week. It washed away the anxiety of our city. But once our own safety is taken care of, it was hard not to refocus on the others that are left hurting.

If you saw the news this morning, you know that things heated up in Cambridge last night.
The Boston Marathon bombers lived here. One is dead and other is on the loose. We are
presently under lock down, advised not to leave our homes and all forms of public

How can you not love any appetizer or meal that's quickly prepared?
Olive and Walnut Relish is a quick and versatile appetizer and has quickly
become one of my favorites since having it a local restaurant.
I use Mt. Athos green olives from Whole Food that have a little

Thank you all for your e-mails expressing concern
for me and my fellow Bostonians. I was safe at home
watching the events unfold as many of you did.
What happened is terrible, the details horrifying, and

People say Bostonians aren't friendly but when we're
challenged, we

I love going to tile stores. It's just fun walking around and
imagining all the possible combinations for various imaginary rooms.
It seems like every time you go, there's something different.
I wish I could say picking out the tile was as much fun as the Bathroom Goddess
made picking out the fixtures. At this

After buying the Swedish console table for my bathroom vanity,
I headed to the kitchen and bath showroom to select some fixtures.
We have quite a few options locally for kitchen and bathroom fixtures but
after visiting a few, I chose Waterspot in Natick. I'm not being compensated
by them in way but I really

There's a new color scheme popping up all over the neighborhood.
I call it Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese.
When I was at lunch at Sam's in South Boston recently and saw it on the menu,
I just couldn't resist ordering it so I could juxtapose the photos.
This is a two-family house I wanted to buy several years ago.
