Decorating (or redecorating) a room is a complex process that involves many layers, not the least of which are the accessories – that final touch that makes all your efforts come together into a room that feels cozy and welcoming. To fight the cold and gloomy weather that’s been plaguing New England these last couple of months, I’ve been lighting a lot of candles around the house, especially during that soft hour right before the sun starts to set. Unfortunately, last week I managed to break one of my favorite glass hurricane candle holders and I was bummed because it was a sturdy little guy that had survived all our cross-country moves and it felt like saying goodbye to an old friend. Anyway, that’s glass for you… and with my butter fingers, I’m surprised I did not break it sooner. I started looking for a new one the other day and I wanted to share with you my finds, in case you’re also looking to replace yours or to add to your existing collection. (I hope it’s the latter.)

Our Home | A Cottage Fireplace Makeover
When we moved into our Cape Cod style cottage two summers ago, we had a long list of goals & projects we wanted to tackle and very little patience. The house had been well-cared for and preserved over its five decade existence but very few things were updated. At the top of our list (along with painting all the rooms and removing the popcorn ceilings) was a fireplace surround makeover.
Book Review | Michael S. Smith – Houses
Over the winter break I’ve developed a slight obsession with the work of Michael S. Smith and orderer several of his books. Although every book is lovely, Michael S.Smith – Houses, published by Rizzoli in 2008, is by far my favorite! Obviously, a book published in 2008 hardly needs an introduction or review on my part. However, in the sea of countless design books that are being published each year, the good ones naturally rise to the top and become classics worth returning to time and time again.
