Hello, dear friends! Are you ready to say goodbye to 2025? Because I am! For many of us, 2025 has been a mixed bag of incredible highs, abysmal lows and, hopefully, some moments of peace and joy in between.
As I’ve been thinking of a topic for the last design story of the year, there’s a rare moment of quiet stillness around me. The house is clean, the streets are empty, and the oven is on. Snowflakes are dancing outside my window and the aroma of a freshly baked chocolate cake fills the air. A sweet pup resting at my feet and a good book at my fingertips – the promise of a joyful and calm ending to a tumultuous year.

As always, today’s list of weekly finds is a mixed bag of things I own (or wish I did), things that have inspired me, educated or entertained me lately. There are books and tables and light fixtures and gift ideas, but also links to articles on design topics I found interesting and thought you might be interested in them, too. I’ve included a video tour of designer Tom Cox’s beautifully layered country house, which I love, as well as a link to his studio’s impressive design portfolio.
Like many of you, I’m sure, I was pleased to hear about Libby Cameron’s new book, Notes From a Decorator’s Life. I’ve admired her work for as long as I can remember, and it makes me happy to know that we’ll soon learn more about her design processes, philosophies and behind-the-scenes magic. The week has been a busy one so far, cold and gray and damp, but for a few hours today the sun was out, and I found myself smiling for no reason. Wishing you all a fun weekend!

Happy December, dear friends! I hope you’re well. As always, I miss our chats and meant to make this entry a while ago, but it’s taken me longer than usual to quiet the noise of life and find a peaceful, uninterrupted moment to write things up and share a pretty chair I’ve been working on. That being said, if you love a good furniture makeover, or enjoy reading about other people’s upholstery projects, then today’s post is for you.

It’s happened. After years and years of care and loving devotion, I finally let go. My natural hoarding tendencies have been tamed, and I survived. And surprisingly, I found something better: wish fulfillment. I am talking, of course, about furniture. Sofas, to be exact.
