Guest Post: what I love about The Little Glass House

September 16, 2016

This week I (Kelsey, Elizabeth’s daughter) have taken over my mom’s blog post, while she has been crazy busy getting the new East Coast abode together. She’s been kind (and crazy?) enough to trust me and a few girlfriends to take a little weekend getaway to The Little Glass House. Santa Barbara is the perfect place to go and recharge. It’s a short drive from Los Angeles (about an hour and a half) but feels like planets away. An hour and a half in LA gets you…

vermont farmhouse part two

September 2, 2016

This week, I thought I’d share a few more photos of the progress at my parent’s Vermont farmhouse. The two of them have been very busy since my visit in June. They are a dynamic duo, my dad the carpenter, and my mom with the creative flair. Here are a few of the changes……

Our new east coast beach bungalow

August 26, 2016

I didn’t dare share this until we closed on the house. I was sure that I would jinx the whole thing. On my last visit to Connecticut in June, it came to our attention that a few homes had become available in a small coastal area near our rented townhouse. This is a community that rarely sees houses come on the market and so we decided to check a few of them out.…

collecting dogs…dog door stops!

August 12, 2016

I’m not sure I even remember how it all started. When we were furnishing our first house, we often went to antique shows and flea markets. My husband, being a dog lover, discovered a cast iron dog door stop at one of these shows many years ago. It was cute…a Boston terrier, which was one of the more common door stops and therefore not too expensive. We didn’t know much about them or that people actually collect vintage door stops…

Master Bedroom in The Little Glass House

I almost didn’t post this piece today. It seems that every time I turn on the news, another horrific attack has happened and everything else seems trivial in comparison. But I think in my own way, by creating beautiful, comfortable places to call home, it makes me feel safer. Our homes are our sanctuaries away from all the atrocities happening in the world. And isn’t it nice to have an oasis if even for a little while? So here is…

What I’ve learned about taking Instagram worthy photos

July 21, 2016

It’s no secret that I love to take pictures. I come from a family who likes to take a lot of pictures…way back to my grandfather who would develop and enlarge photographs in a studio in his basement. I was fascinated by the process!…

Decorating The Little Glass House

I was thrilled to be asked by the lovely ladies at Holl and Lane magazine to write an Interiors post for their online blog. Holl and Lane’s motto is: We are more than a magazine; we are a community of women that share our hearts with boldness. We believe in telling stories boldly and vulnerably, to cultivate honest community and authentically inspire home and add flavor to everyday life. They were looking for me to fulfill the authentically inspire home niche!…

Favorite Etsy Shop: INDIEbungalow

July 7, 2016

I’m a bit of a pillow hoarder. There, I’ve admitted it. Does it mean I’m going to change my hoarding ways? Not anytime soon! I’ve had this problem for quite sometime and it became even worse once I discovered Etsy. I have pillows and their assorted covers in every closet in our smallish home. They make it so easy to change your decor in a snap! One day about a year ago I was scrolling through Instagram and I came…

Here are 5 things I absolutely love about it…I lied…how about 7? There are more than that but I don’t want this post to turn into…

Instagrammer we love: edb designs by homedeco

June 23, 2016

As many of you might know, I’ve spent this week helping my parents with their new farmhouse in Vermont. How lucky am I to have parents who still hike, ski, and build houses? They decided that it was time for a change and sold their little place in Vermont and got right to work on building a new abode in East Rupert. After selling group insurance for 16 years from 1966-1981 (and working in the World Trade Center when it opened in 1973)…
