Romantic Bathrooms
It's going to snow tomorrow - again! It's been a rough winter here in New England, and my cold muscles crave a long soak in a beautiful bathtub. Naturally, it would have to be a claw foot tub! While I love both looks, my favorite is the black one in the second photo (and that sink! the chandelier!). Which do...

Remodeling Your Home
It really pays off to use an architect to design your home remodel. This design is for one of our clients renovating their home that was damaged by fire. The fire damaged one wing on the house, so we are replacing it with a new two-story addition. The addition is designed to closely match the existing house while taking...

Sepulchre
Ok, so it's been quite a while since I've been able to really sink my teeth into a novel (Mary, Queen of Scotland and the Isles by Margaret George was a tough act to follow). That is, until Sepulchre came along. It has all of the elements I love in a novel - history, thrills, art, romance, mystery, the supernatural - and is set...

Le Theatre - Boston Opera House
The theatre has been a part of my life since I was a little girl. I studied ballet for many years, and would always look forward to those magical nights when I could attend a professional performance. I was fortunate enough to grow up near Boston, a city that appreciates and indulges the arts, and their theatres are ornate and...
Take a Walk on the Wild Side
I'm in lust with animal prints (faux, naturally), so imagine my glee when I stumbled upon an online shop/blog devoted exclusively to all things animal print! My favorite is leopard - I have scarves, throw pillows, shirts, a jacket, even an umbrella in leopard. Check out the leopard print CAR below (how fun would that be?). ...
Calgon, take me away...
Suffering from the winter blues? I know I am! Thought we could all use a tropical pick-me-up - here's to umbrella drinks and sunshi...
Velvet Underground
Velvet is one of my favorite materials - soft, sensuous, and luxurious. While I love it in jackets and scarves, nothing feels more wonderful than curling up on a velvet sofa or chair. After yet (another!) winter storm, I find myself wanting to surround myself with its magic...
