By far the question I get asked the most on Instagram, on my blog, and by clients, is “what color white did you use on your walls and trim?!” And not just my home, but my parents home as well. I thought I’d take a moment and go through the white choices and the finishes for The Little Glass House, the Little White Beach Bungalow, and my parents Vermont farmhouse, which still remains nameless!…
Sometimes, (ok truth be told, this happens to me a lot), an object speaks to you and it’s clear that it is coming home with you. This happened to me recently when a friend and I were on a little field trip to the malibu design center. This place is a treasure trove of inspiration for people who love organic, natural, modern design! 😉 We spotted an assortment of various size vintage African baskets on a table. It was love…
I have a confession. I’ve never decorated with blues in my own home. Yes, I’ve used aquas, greens, and a whole lot of white, but not the blues that you typically associate with coastal homes.

On Instagram , you’ll notice I rarely post pictures of televisions at The Little Glass House. In fact, I often get asked if we have one. Um, would you believe we have four in a not so big house? And one of them is a 55″ screen…hardly discreet. I’ll let you in on my dirty little secret. I LIKE TV! I really do. And today with cable, NetFlix, and Apple TV, I can watch just about anything anytime. So you bet we own several TV’s…
