Dahlias - the perfect Nor’Easter remedy. 🌸
I can’t say I’m entirely unhappy about the miserable weather outside today. There’s something rather nice about having the perfect excuse to stay home, especially as I’m still playing catch up after being away. But first, coffee and hanging out with the pups while I watch the final day of the Laver Cup 🎾. Then maybe I’ll tackle the to-do list. And with any luck, maybe the husband will be inspired to make a chili pepper jam with the abundance of peppers we have out in the garden.
Wishing everyone a happy Sunday. Stay safe and dry out there. ❤️

SUNDAY STILLS… nothing particularly special, just little moments from our time at Casa Rosa that I’m feeling especially grateful for 🙏.
I know my posts from our time here probably sound like a broken record, but honestly, that’s something I’m grateful for too. We have a rhythm here now. Familiar places, familiar faces, little routines that have become part of our days. We’re building a community, and there’s something so comforting about that regularity.
As we get closer to the end of our trip, I find myself trying to soak up everything I love about being here: the simplicity, the slower pace, the way the light changes throughout the day, the beauty of the landscape, the layers of history, and the warmth and openness of the people.
Maybe that’s what I’m craving most - the feeling of having nowhere you need to be. Of lingering a little longer. Of knowing the rhythm of a place and feeling, even temporarily, that you belong to it.
With the world spinning as fast as it does around us, I think we need that more and more. So, for now, I’m just trying to hold onto this feeling for a little bit longer ❤️.
Not sore why I’m feeling so sentimental today, but there ya go…🤷‍♀️ Happy Sunday lovelies.

Let’s face it - we’re designing for our four-legged clients too 🐶. Very happy to report that Reggie approves of this recently revamped sunroom. And while we love the way the sofa looks, we love its practicality just as much. We upholstered it in a Manuel Canovas performance fabric - a beautiful, hardworking choice that’s perfect for those days Reggie decides to take a dip in the pool, followed by an afternoon nap indoors. Beautiful, comfortable, and made for real life!
There’s a reason they call these the dog days of summer. 😂

A week (or maybe a few week) in review…
Every summer I think longer days will mean more time. Somehow, they never do.
Instead, the days full up quickly - with work I’m grateful for, places that inspire me, family, friends, and all the little moments in between that make the season so special.
I’m discovering that maybe it’s not about finding more time. It’s about making room for things that matter most. .
Happy Friday guys❤️.

We’re getting there! Not only are the finishing touches getting done at the Norfolk Antique in time for my client to arrive from a cross country move at the end of the week, but we got power back, AND I get to pick up my computer from the shop today! 🤗 I don’t know which I’m most excited about. And to top it off, the sun came out. Happy Wednesday everyone.

Monday blues…😢💙
Feeling sad but so grateful for our little community. This July 4th weekend wasn’t exactly what we had planned for. While we were enjoying a gorgeous BBQ celebration with friends, an intense microburst tore through our little town. Incredibly, no one was seriously hurt, and most buildings were spared. But the storm left behind countless downed trees and power lines, knocking out electricity and essential services across our community.
We feel incredibly fortunate that our home was spared and we have a generator to keep the basics running. We know others aren’t in the same position, so we’ll continue to offer whatever we can - a bed, a hot shower, a meal, a chainsaw or simply a helping hand.
A huge thank you to the clean up crews working tirelesy, especially with more severe weather in the forecast. Thinking of everyone affected and hoping our community stays safe. 🙏

How I Fourth ❤️🤍💙.
Especially this year with record breaking temps and a historical celebration that feels like it’s been hijacked. I’m more than happy to have an excuse to stay indoors in the AC and watch Wimbledon with Roger.🤗 All I’m missing are the strawberries and champagne…but maybe those will make an appearance later, just in time for the Serena/ Venus match. 🥂🍓
Wishing all of you a happy Fourth of July. How will you celebrate?

It’s been just over a week since we returned from Casa Rosa, but somehow it already feels like a lifetime ago. I’m not complaining, I’m just cognizant of the passing of time and how quickly we can get swept up in life’s craziness without stopping to smell the flowers, literally! This trip ended up being more of a working retreat than a true holiday, but a change of scenery, a different language and a slower pace made all the difference. And if I’m honest, being able to escape the insanity that is taking over this country for a few weeks, was vacation in itself.
Since we’ve been back it’s been full steam ahead with client projects, while also trying to tame the jungle that’s taken over our garden, AND finding a way to make it to my USTA matches. Thankfully, the weather has been on our side, though I think we’re in for a hot one this coming week. I’m taking that as the perfect excuse to retreat indoors with the AC and catch up on Wimbledon matches in the evenings!
Wishing you all a lovely Sunday. Stay cool and don’t forget to slow down now and then! 🥰

Peonies and pups have always been a favorite combo of mine. 💮🐶💮
We finally arrived home from Italy, and while our pups were beside themselves with excitement to see us again, our peonies were not nearly as thrilled. I was only able to scrounge a handful of fairly sad blooms which have now found a home on our bathroom shelves. So, although we seem to have missed this year’s season completely, at least I have the memories of years passed. One of my favorite being this one with our sweet Oakely who left us far, far too soon. Grateful for the memories and happy to be home.❤️ Happy weekend everyone.

This weekend the laptops were finally closed as we set off on a road trip to explore Tuscia, a corner of Italy we hadn’t yet discovered. I will admit, the impetus came from an apartment we had spotted online that piqued our interest, giving us the perfect excuse for a little adventure. Along the way we visited:
- Bomarzo - an enchanting little Etruscan town where we viewed the apartment. It was beautiful and light, with incredible views, and amazing cantina, and A LOT of stairs!
- Viterbo, the city of popes and home to one of Italy’s largest medieval districts, and surprisingly few tourists!
- Civita di Bagnoregio, the ‘dying city’ where an early start helped us beat both the heat and the crowds. We made it across the footbridge and racked up 29 flights on our step count tracker! I’m wondering too how may people have stood in exactly the same spot to take this photo?🤔
And then we wound our way through Val D’Orcia stopping at hill towns which honestly start blending into one another. We finally stumbled upon a sweet little agriturismo for a long, leisurely lunch before heading home.
So grateful for a weekend of unexpected discoveries, and the reminder that sometimes the best adventures begin with no plan at all ❤️.
