From working and non-working fireplaces to faux, painted and covered mantles, these amazing home owners have showcased it all and I hope their…
If there’s one thing I love most when it comes to publications, it’s embracing a focused format. I relish magazines, blogs and zines that obsess over one niche topic and really enjoy diving into such a specific world. Covet Garden is a Canadian online magazine that focuses each of its monthly issues on a single…
I love micro-homes. Mainly because living in NYC for almost 10 years has made me terrified to live in a “normal” sized suburban home. I don’t know what I’d do with all that space; I’m used to cramming everything into less than 1,000 square feet. But these mini-homes look like a great way to see…
I’ve got Portland on the brain today because I’m making a big announcement this afternoon about an event I’m working on there next month!

Artists Kirra Jamison and Dane Lovett reside in this small converted industrial warehouse in Melbourne. This is my favorite Sneak Peek to date!

It was a pleasure to hear from photographer Keiko Oikawa when she told us about her friend Jane Cumberbatch’s wonderful home. The philosophy of Jane’s company, Pure Style, has evolved into a simple, practical, inexpensive and timeless way of living and decorating, which translates into her own home. Even though she and her husband, Alastair,…
A few weeks ago, I was sitting at a Paris café with Dutch graphic designer Judith de Graaff and talking about Paris living. While she’s been in France for 10 years now, she moved out of the city center to get the best of both worlds: easy access to Paris, yet far more space than one…

I’m so excited to pull looks today from the home of amazing photographer Emily Johnston Anderson. Emily and her husband, Jacob, share this stunning Chicago apartment.

While this is not the first time — and surely not the last — that the home of sisters Hollister and Porter Hovey has been online, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to get a deeper look inside and see some of the fresh changes (like a new wall color) they’ve made to the place. While…
