Our new neighborhood stroll takes us along a charming little path that leads to a lookout over the ocean. On a clear day, you can see all the way past the Boston Harbor lighthouses, reaching out toward Hull and Scituate. Whenever we make a stop at t
Our first visit to #HeronKnoll was in early October. The grass was still lush and green, and the trees still held most of their leaves. However, we had not yet seen the property in full bloom. As spring progresses, we have been delighted to watch ou
Mulligan and I have settled into a new morning routine at Heron Knoll. It begins with a cup of coffee in our dining room. I love every room in our home (even the ones still waiting to be finished), but the dining room may be my favorite. After much
Finally a sunny spring Sunday in New England! Enjoy the day! _______________________________________________ Here is one of the guest bedrooms from our #AGA_BeverlyFarmsproject - soft blue and crisp white help create a breezy coastal aesthetic in th
When my youngest brother moved to Boston after college, he lived in our neighborhood and would commute to the Seaport with me each morning. Without a doubt he would get in the car with some type of breakfast food. Sometimes it was a banana or two,
Every morning, Mulligan begins his day by banging on his crate door to be let out. Once we open it, he grabs a toy - or more recently, one of my slippers - and jumps into bed with us. This routine used to happen around 7 a.m., but now it is creeping
I often talk about our incredible team - and for good reason. The beauty we create for our clients would not be possible without the immense talent and dedication of our contractors, installers, painters, wallpaper hangers, and workrooms. They are no
Yesterday we had our painter and contractor at #HeronKnoll to tackle a few pending projects. Mulligan was so thrilled to have visitors and people to supervise again. Meanwhile, I was ecstatic to complete our dining room painting before we host East
A few years ago we received a set of monogrammed towels as a wedding gift, with “sMa” embroidered in a beautiful blue - a combination of our first initials and Scott’s last name. Of course, our friends had their own/more up to dat
#APRILMOOD Better late than never – April has always been one of my favorite months. We finally start to see the signs of spring, and is there anything better than green grass, full trees, and flowers after a long winter? As a kid, I remember
We hosted our first overnight guests at #HeronKnoll this weekend. The great weather, delicious food, and amazing friends made it so hard to say goodbye to the weekend. Mulligan, usually a frequent napper, was far too concerned about not missing out,
As we settle into Heron Knoll, no one is more excited about the additional space and coastal lifestyle than Mulligan. From running around the expansive backyard to enjoying walks along the beach and greeting fellow four-legged friends, every day is a
I went to college in Upstate New York, often referred to as “the Riviera of the North” by my Rochestarian grandfather. Every year, the relentless snow flurries would begin just before Halloween and would persist until well after spring br
Who is ready for 7pm sunsets?! Hallelujah spring is almost here! ________________________________________________ Here is the family room from our #AGA_CharlestownProject – a welcoming, family-friendly space designed for both everyday routines
A question Scott and I are often asked these days is, “What is your favorite room in your new home?” Honestly, this is a tough one because I love so many of our new spaces. But leave it to my brothers to turn things around and ask, &ldq
