Virtual Design Consultations: Landscape & Interiors

We first introduced our virtual consultation back when covid hit in 2020 and we’re excited to bring them back (minus the covid aspect) as a service option. We’ve noticed an increase in recent requests for design advice that can be provided quickly and also on a smaller scale than some of our full-service renovation and new construction projects. We wanted to find a way that we could help and virtual consultations make the most sense for these types of projects.

Maybe you have plans from your architect for an addition or renovation and you would like a second set of eyes to review them and make suggestions or provide feedback on the layout. There are so many things that can go un-noticed and by the time you realize the issue it is often too late or very costly to fix. We can help avoid those problems.

Or, perhaps you are looking to upgrade your landscape and would like some suggestions for appropriate plants to work into certain areas that won’t overtake the home or plant beds down the road. Maybe you are looking to add a patio, pool, or walkway and need suggestions for materials that work with your home style.

Maybe you’ve recently purchased a new home and are looking for suggestions on furniture floorplans or where to shop for window treatments, furnishings, or need direction for the right white paint that won’t feel like a hospital room.

The list could go on an on but I think you get the idea. There are so many ways we can help and with minimal commitment. It’s truly amazing how much can be accomplished in one 55 minute session. We know you will come away with loads of advice and fresh ideas for your home design and landscape. Please don’t hesistate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to schedule your consultation.

Valentine’s Day Favorites

I think Valentine's Day is a fun way to break up the long winter months in New England. The cheerful mix of red, pink, and white always gets me and helps bring a little color to the winter blandness!

It’s the time of year for entertaining and since we spend so much time entertaining in our kitchens I like to make sure to have some pretty things mixed in with the more functional items. Above is a round up of some of my favorite ways to add a touch of style to any kitchen.

Starting from top left

Design Books Wishlist

I love finding inspiration outside of the usual places (looking at you Pinterest & Instagram) and design books are a great place to do that. Every year I like to add a few to my library and I’ve rounded up some of the books that are on my wishlist this year.

Clockwise from top left

1. I already own Patrcik’s other book Timeless (which I reference often!) and this one based on the renovation of this historic hotel looks just as interesting and a great source for studying all the classic details Patrick is so good at incorporating into his work.

2. Not only is the cover of Charm School by F.Schumacher beautiful but it is also full of so many charming and unique spaces (I had a look through it recently in Barnes & Noble). Definitely a front runner on my list.

3. I’ve long admired Jean Stoffer’s work, especially her kitchen designs. She has a beautiful way of creating moody and layered spaces but also incorporates unexpected modern elements into her designs.

4. Shea McGee continues to inspire not only with her design sensibilities but also her incredible work ethic. Her new book The Art of Home is full of light and bright spaces and the book itself is also a small work of art.

5. Ok, I may have initially chosen this book because of the cover but the imagery inside is equally inspiring with layered rooms and beautiful entertaining ideas and tablescapes. Great inspiration for the holidays, I’m really looking forward to studying every detail.

6. Ashley Gilbreath is one of my favorite designers. Her use of antqiues and classic furnishings mixed with beautiful textiles and patterns is a great example of good taste and timeless design.

Laurel House Lighting

I wanted to share some of the lighting selections I’ll be using in Laurel House. My goal with the lighting is to keep an overall classic but slightly granny chic look with some unexpected touches. I’ll be keeping the metal finish mainly to antique brass but mixing in some fabric shades and interesting shapes to keep the look feeling collected and unique.

Clockwise starting from top left:

1.) This sconces with it’s simple shape and metal shade is a classic look perfect for a powder bath or accent lighting.

2.) I love the sculptural leaf shape of this light and plan to use a pair of them in my upstairs mudroom above an antique bench.

3.) This drum shape pendant has the perfect mix of softness and shine. The plan is for this light to hang over our breakfast nook table off the kitchen.

4.) A pair of these classic bell sconces will greet guest and make a nice statement in our front entry.

5.) This star shaped ceiling fixture is going to make a really fun and playful light fixture in our attic den and adjacent guest.

6.) This fluted sconce has the perfect balance of nostalgia while still remaining classic. We’ll be using this fixture in our kid’s bath mounted horizontally above the vanity mirror. This light also looks great in pairs mounted vertically next to a mirror.

7.) This sconce is a classic and I love it paired with this William Morris shade. The plan is to mount one of these on either end of the sink wall in our kitchen.

Field Notes: Fall Finds

It’s no secret Fall is a favorite for many of us and I am no exception. The shorter days, moody colors, and cozy feel gets me excited to do a little refresh of both home and wardrobe every year. I pulled together a few favorites to inspire your own fall refresh.

1. This scalloped loaf pan is a classic and is so pretty it can go straight from oven to table for serving.

2. I’m obsessed with having plants around all year round and not just in the warmer months. If you’re worried about keeping house plants alive in the winter these potted faux florals are no maintenance and really acts like a piece of art they’re so beautifully made.

3. I love a statement jacket for fall and winter. It’ hard to look put together with all the layers we need in New England so a jacket is a great way to still show your style.

4. Adding a touch of brass is something I do in almost every space I design. This all brass table lamp is a perfect way to do it!

5. I picked up this pleated skirt recently and I love that I can dress it up or down depending on the occasion. It’s also hard to beat the comfort of an elastic waist!

6. Varley is my go to for quality athletic wear and this half zip pull over would be perfect with a pair of legging for the weekend.

7. I’ve been on the look out for a weekend bag and this one in brown caught my eye.

Field Notes: Wallpaper Pairings Roundup

As the cold and grey landscape continue to fill our days, I look to floral and vegetal patterns to remind me that spring will come. Here are a few truly lovely wallpapers that have been on my mind recently. I paired each paper with a paint color that I might use for trim or millwork to really pull the look together. One of the most important aspects when purchasing patterned wallpaper is the scale of the pattern. The look of your room will be completely different if the pattern is very small or much larger and more graphic.

1. Morris & Company Slate/Ivory paired with Oval Room Blue

2. Bowood paired with Lamp Room Gray

3. Lucinda Stripe paired with Miami Parasol

4. Nasturtium Meadow paired with Breakfast Room Green

Our Go-To Paint Colors

Choosing paint can be daunting so I wanted to share some of my favorite go-to’s with you. I’ve used each of these colors before (some many times over) and have found they tend to always look nice no matter where they are used. They can work well for both walls, trim, and cabinetry applications. Just be sure to use lower sheens on walls (I like matte or eggshell) and slightly higher sheens on trim (I like satin or semi-gloss). Of course, at times, these rules can be broken but this is a good rule of thumb for most applications.

One of my favorite methods for applying paint is to use a lighter wall color and a slightly darker trim color - for example White Tail on the wall and Agreeable Gray on the trim and cabinetry. It creates a lovely historic feeling and is slightly unexpected. Another trick I employ often is to paint the walls and trim all in the same color but vary the sheen on each. This creates a really lovely and simplified backdrop and will instantly make a room feel more custom.

When looking for the right paint color always test out a few options and apply them to several different walls in the room then look at them at different times of day. Morning, afternoon, and evening when the lights are on. You want to be sure the paint looks good at all times and not just at certain times of the day.
