This morning, Mully and I stepped out for our first walk of the day. The air was chilly and crisp, the kind that makes you grateful for an extra layer or cozy sweater. When we went inside, I realized the heat had kicked on overnight - which made me g
When Scott is out for the night, Mulligan takes his role as man of the house very seriously. Last night, he and the dog across the street were on full neighborhood watch - exchanging barks back and forth while the rest of us tried to get some sleep.

This week marks six months since we moved into Heron Knoll. Time has flown by, and yet in many ways, it already feels like home - perhaps because of everything we have accomplished since moving in. From refinishing floors to adding lighting, painting
When Scott and I first started living together, I would come home from the Design Center carrying bags full of project memos. After a few months, he asked, “You don’t actually pay for all these samples, do you?” Luckily, most of th
One of my favorite things about our new Marblehead studio location is its incredible street visibility. Situated on the corner of Washington and State Street, Mulligan gets to watch a fascinating parade of passerby: tourists from nearby states, all t
#JULYMOOD Summer is in full swing - and is there any better place to celebrate than New England? From plump hydrangeas and sweet lobster rolls to long beach days and the unmistakable scent of sunscreen, these are the moments I wait for all year! #A
Our corner planter at the studio is starting to look a little sad - spring has come and gone. Time to say goodbye to the faded blooms and hello to some fresh summer color! I guess I am heading to the garden center this weekend! ______________________
For the past few weeks, we have been treating Mulligan for an ear infection. Since he absolutely hates having his ears touched, it has turned into quite the daily adventure. Every morning, I brace myself to see how tricky he will be. Most days, he b
Mulligan used to be terrified of water. Now? He’s a total beach babe. Unfortunately, the beach is now closed to dogs - but don’t tell him that. Every time we pass the entrance, he tries to drag us back like it’s his life’s mi
Scott and I started (re)watching Cheers this weekend. Growing up, the show’s catchy intro music and vintage barroom imagery marked the moment my grandparents would retreat to their bedroom for their evening movie. Today, watching Cheers carrie
It finally feels like we stepped into summer today! Who is ready for the beach? ___________________________________________ Here is a look at the second-floor hallway in our #AGA_BrooklineProject - a beautiful blend of old and new. This view capture
We have friends who have used red and green stop lights to teach their kids when it is okay to wake up and when it is time to stay in bed. Lately, I have been wishing we could do the same thing with Mulligan. Each night he sleeps in his crate, but co
#JUNEMOOD The start of summer has officially arrived, and we are soaking up the longer days, warm evenings, and endless moments with friends and family at Heron Knoll. This is our first time experiencing our garden in bloom, and it is magical to wa
Today we tested out a new setup: the gate that once kept puppy Mulligan from snacking on the dried moss in the office palm tree has found a new home - now serving as the perfect gate at our side door! Mulligan is thrilled about his new post as studi
When we moved into Heron Knoll, I bought three Myrtle topiaries. For years, I have struggled to keep them alive with little success. I don’t want to jinx it, but Myrtle, Yurtle, and Turtle are still going strong after three months! ____________
Last weekend, my cousin and I were enjoying a sun-filled morning on our terrace. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a flicker of movement - a dragonfly hovered nearby. I turned to my cousin and said, “Look, a dragonfly! It’s the first
