Love life food family and not the least, design! Creating spaces you will love…traditional, modern or somewhere in between.®

As fall begins, now’s the time to create outdoor spaces you’ll love year-round. This Arlington bungalow’s all-season porch is a favorite: two distinct zones, thoughtfully furnished for both lounging and dining, each with its own personality. The result is comfortable, stylish, and ready for everything from casual drinks to cozy fall evenings. Take a closer look on the blog Creating Spaces ®.

Pastel linens, rattan placemats, jewel-toned blooms, and mini hydrangea favors made this Capitol Hill backyard soirée pure summer charm. We blended new finds, beloved heirlooms, and fresh florals to create a celebration that was both effortless and unforgettable.

Labor Day is past but it is still perfect summer weather and the perfect time for one last summer bash!

Whether you’re hosting friends on the porch or firing up the grill, your outdoor spaces should feel just as inviting as your interiors. From French café–inspired seating to Mediterranean coastal elegance, our favorite Summer Classics pieces make it easy to entertain in style.

Blue-and-white place settings. Wicker chargers in every color. Hand-blown cobalt glassware. Every element on the table tells a story, especially when you mix and match textures and colors for a lighthearted mood.

Get inspired by my go-to pieces for summer entertaining (and the one brand I can’t stop buying glassware from) in my blog post “Elevate Summer Entertaining with these Inspiring Finds and Ideas.”

For me, setting a table is second nature—especially in the summer. It’s never about fussy formality, but about intentional touches that make guests feel special. From embroidered linens to textured chargers, a thoughtfully styled table sets the tone for your whole soirée.
