Bachelor Pad Ideas: About Those White Walls.

Like most bachelor pads, my current apartment started as a plain white box. Without a fireplace or built-in bookcases, the walls were really just a series of blank canvases. I realized to make the place cool, I would have to step things up when it came to décor. Here are a few tricks I picked up along the way.

Pinned: Wall Décor, Tiny Shelves & Other Home Decorating Ideas.

It’s mid-March, and It. Won’t. Stop. Snowing. (Here in NYC and the Northeast, anyway.) So what better way to pass the hours than to spend a little time decorating indoors?

This Original Louis Vuitton Ad, Circa 1985: Must-Buy Of The Day.

…because some part of me still finds travel to be impossibly glamorous (yes, even barefoot in the security line), an illusion in no small part fostered by all things classic Louis Vuitton—those old school steamer trunks, the signature brown and gold logo—and this original 1985 advertisement perfectly captures the label’s storied sense of luxury. I shall hang… read more »

Home Decorating Ideas: La vie à la française.

Like many of you (we assume), we, too, are obsessed with all things French. Croissants. Lavender. Brigitte Bardot. The Oscar-nominated flick Amour. (Ed. Note: Great movie, but depressing. Word to the wise: Bring Kleenex.) Here, some choice selects for adding that certain je ne sais quoi into your own home, be it in Provence or Philadelphia. Because if anyone knows… read more »

Last Minute Thanksgiving Touches, Courtesy of Milk & Mode's Carol Han (Or: Hostessing 101)

When it comes to my favorite holiday of the year (otherwise known as Thanksgiving, otherwise known as The-Day-We-Get-To-Eat-Like-There’s-No-Tomorrow), I take no chances. I’ve got checklists, countdowns, I do stuffing practice runs, and my turkey’s brining three days out. But when it comes to making things really special, it’s often the little touches that… read more »

Cozy, Fall-y Design Ideas for Bedrooms From Coco+Kelley

One of the things I absolutely love about fall is cozying up the house by swapping out pillows and piling on blankets - especially in the bedroom!

Habit Forming: Hermès Scarf Décor

Three weeks ago, I got it in my head that I was going to purchase an Hermès scarf. It was my first and I nabbed it for a steal online.

Having just returned from the Dallas Home & Gift Market, I… read more »

Carrie's House: An Unlikely Inspiration

It all started here, with some very curious lamps by Moss Studios. Moss owner and designer Breck Armstrong creates them by shooting at panels of bullet-proof Plexiglas in his backyard. I think about these lamps frequently, and I contemplate purchasing one. It may be cyclical (and it probably is) but some trends seem to linger. Perhaps it’s because of these lamps,… read more »

Carrie's House: Antique Shopping at Round Top, Texas

For six years, I’ve wanted to visit the antiques show in Round Top, Texas.

Carrie's House: Picks from Paris

When I first visited Paris fifteen years ago, I found it to be a bit overwhelming and complex.

My opinion has certainly evolved over the years, and now that I’m back from a working trip to the city (no, my luck is not lost on me!), I appreciate how Paris opens up a bit more with each visit.

My experiences with the city probably inspired my sudden passion for… read more »

Steamer Trunk: Must-Buy of The Day

This trunk. I’m fairly positive that this gorgeous, hair-on-hide, leather-strapped trunk will transform my home office/ second bedroom/ husband’s man cave into the smart and elegant study I have always wanted it to be.
