Working from home . . . all over the house, you too? I have always been practical about design and decor in our home. The one piece of furniture that is probably the most versatile is our console table. We bought it years ago from Room & Board. It went behind a sofa with a pair of lamps back then. We moved it to California where it again was placed behind a sofa in the living room. Then to ...

A visit to Tuscany in the fall inspired colors in our new (old) home!
When we unexpectedly sold our house, we had about six weeks where we would need to live temporarily before our new home was ready. We had renters for the last two years and the timing was close, but not perfect. And since even a Marriott Residence Inn does not come cheap in these parts (greater NYC area), we thought why not take at least a couple of weeks and go on vacation. So we went to one of ...

It's the sort of coat that's perfect to throw on over everything. I wore it over workout clothes for a walk on the beach and I plan to wear it to every holiday party. Most of the coats I've tried on were ...
