Ever since we featured Inness in upstate New York (see: A Rustic, Design-Minded Retreat (with British Standard Kitchens)), I’ve returned to one singular design detail: pull-across window coverings that are effortless and ethereal in all their simplicity. Now I’m eager to replicate the look in my own place. With two hooks, a swath of fabric (wide enough to stretch across the window with a little elegant draping), and two curtain rings, you too can try it. Have a look: Photography by Adrian Gaut, courtesy of Inness. The Inspiration Above: One of many restful lodgings at Inness. The window coverings caught my eye: In lieu of drapes on both sides, simple linens hang casually from a hook on one side of the...

NYCxDesign, New York’s annual Design Week, was far more lively this year than I’d witnessed in the recent past. As an editor, I frequently attend press previews and events, and it can always feel like Design Week to a certain extent—but not like this. Of the many happenings I hit, from SoHo’s showroom soirees to penthouse gallery dinners, I’m surprised to say that one of my most fruitful jaunts was a day at the Javits Center, where the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) and Wanted set up camp for three days. While ICFF is reserved for larger brands, Wanted, a...
If you’re like me, your garage is the primary way you come in and out of your home. As a result, we always have keys, wallets, hats, and sunglasses on shelves spread throughout our kitchen. Even worse, since the closest closet is near the front door, we also have shoes stashed all over our downstairs.

In this article, I’ve gathered several practical, creative ideas to help you get your entryway organized. But first, let’s talk about how important it is to get your family involved in designing your new garage mudroom. Getting Your Family Involved in Creating a Garage...

It’s been a while since I last wrote a blog post, but you know what they say about riding a bike…it might be a little wobbly. Today, for your viewing eyeballs, I have the quaint little makeover of my mom and dad’s primary bedroom and bathroom. It’s really more of a refresh since we had an almost non-existent budget to work with and very strong attachments to many of the existing pieces. Let’s start with the befores, shall we? Please, ignore the clean laundry all over the bed. I took these photos for my own reference, not realizing it would be the last time I saw the bedroom before my dad emptied it all out to refinish the floors on...
