benches, stools, and poufs…oh my!

February 16, 2019
The Little Glass House

I have an odd obsession with benches and stools. If they are old, I love them even more. I can almost always find a home for them someplace as they are so versatile and come in so many different shapes and sizes. I find them in antique shops, online, and locally. My two favorite local sources for vintage benches and stools are Porch and Diani Living. Tiny stools make great risers on furniture or are useful in the bathroom to…

summer in coastal connecticut

September 14, 2017

Summers in New England can be brutally hot and humid, especially in August.  I was lucky to experience some beautiful balmy clear days, a little rain, and even a few fall like days.  As a child, August was never my favorite month, even with my birthday at the tail end.  It signaled the end of carefree summer days and colder weather just around the corner.  I can appreciate August and September now.  …

my bathroom renovation adventure

February 2, 2017

After putting in new hardwood floors 2 years ago, I definitely wasn’t anxious for another renovation, but I finally bit the bullet and started planning my  new bathroom.  After I sorted out what I wanted to do, I reached out to my friend John Henderson of Apex Building & Restoration. He and his family recently moved to the Santa Barbara area and besides radon mitigation, he also does construction, plumbing, and electric.  He’s a very handy guy to know! The bathroom…

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.…

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…

The Little Glass House, Santa Barbara

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!…

Summer vibe at The Little Glass House

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…

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)…
