Four Tips for Creating a Relaxing Sanctuary in the Bedroom


It’s important to get plenty of sleep at night. Unfortunately, many of us aren’t getting the sleep we need to wake up feeling refreshed in the morning. Instead, we stumble around, leading less productive lives because we aren’t giving our bodies a chance to recharge. There are many ways to increase your chances of getting…


There is nothing like a great accent chair. You can pair them with a side table and lamp for a reading corner, or you can break up a living room set by having two chairs instead of a love seat. They take up little space most of the time but can create great style. I…


Monday Morning inspiration & a pretty spring place setting

Tuesday’s Tips: Buy Only What You Absolutely Love and Stop Impulse Buying


How many of us have been in a funk and decided to go shopping to boost our mood? An occasional purchase is okay but it can become an expensive habit to form. It can become expensive because most times you’ll end up with things you didn’t need or really want. Once you have buyer’s remorse,…

After the cocktails are poured, confetti swept up and excitement comes down, we are back to reality and in the swing of our usual routine. You probably have read many blogs already and memes about it being a new year and a new you. Some of the takeaways are things we probably already knew in…



I hope you all have had a good holiday month. I will touchbase a little more deeply and share some holiday pictures from around my home soon. I’ve been thinking a lot about staying motivated and encouraged lately. Instead of a usual tip about design I figured I would provide a few quotes as reminders….



As the season nears Christmas, you likely will be attending some soirees and gatherings with coworkers, friends and family. Planning a party can become extra stressful as you want to be able to have enough bubbly and food for the guests. I think a full menu is cool but there are other ways you can…


This is the prime reason why Greg Natale is one of my favorite interior designers. He gets that you can have high end luxury and opulence without sacrificing function.

The Coolest Built-In Bunk Beds (and DIY Brass Hardware)

Image
The Coolest Built-In Bunk Beds (and DIY Brass Hardware) Christina is one of my favorite people. She is as kind, talented and gorgeous as the day is long. The last time I was in Arizona, I swung by her new house for a little tour. I’m going to beg her to let me share everything here on LGN when she’s finished (I’ll probably have to arm wrestle the editors at Elle Decor for it – it’s SO good!).
