House of the Week
The Hunting Lodgeabove, The Hunting Lodge when John Fowler lived there.I have always adored this house in England. It is so romantic and charming...just perfect in its setting in the English countryside 38 miles outside of London. And boy does it have history. It is now home to celebrated British decorator Nicky Haslam. He has lived there since 1978. John Fowler of Colefax and Fowler fame lived there prior to...

Think Spring!
Well spring arrived, and then it....well, left. It's been so cold outside lately, but thankfully the shop is in full bloom. You'll see touches of green throughout, rabbits and Easter-themed goodies, bird nests, flower accents, and boxwood topiaries. The air is fresh, the green is out, and the shop seems altogether lighter and brighter!I know we like to keep the Design House a suprise and wow you...

House of the Week
So here I was on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, stuck in traffic driving home from a lacrosse game on West Paces Ferry Rd. I was surrounded by Neel Reid and Philip Shutze mansions, not a bad place to be stuck. Turned down a side street to avoid the traffic and landed on a quiet street with some cul de sac offshoots. I drove around a curve and noticed this charming house, which had never jumped out at me before. ...

Happiness Is Not....
I found this picture on a lovely Tumblr called 'Peace - That Was The Other Name For Home'.What a beautiful name, and such a lovely phrase and sentiment (the name of the Tumblr, that is).The quote in the picture is interesting too..... I'm not sure I've been able to make happiness a way of life... it eludes me sometimes (maybe more than sometimes). But I think we need to know sadness, grief, and all the wide range of...
