I stopped by one of my favorite favorite flowers shops that sells small antique tables, hand made jewelry and miscellaneous wares and came across this silver and gold tchotchke. It reminds me of som...
On our search to find a Nantucket whale to take home with us, we stumbled upon this shop where the owner was displaying reclaimed wood trunks he builds on top of makeshift antique stove bases. We th...
We've never had enough sink real-estate in the bathroom to store makeup. While we look wistfully in magazines at spacious double sinks with room for extra towels and lotions, the reality is that we...
Move over Mary Poppins, you're not the only one who knows how to make cleaning fun. There's a whole community of folks that make art by dimming the lights, opening the exposure on their camera and ...
This lovely stained glass window comes from next week's Jamaica Plain house tour. We love these preserved gems in older homes, the little trinkets that make a space unique. With everyone moving like...
We just moved and love everything about our new kitchen. The previous owner was a chef and we're not kidding, if you ever renovate a kitchen, see if you can invite a chef over to help you plan the ...
Jim Lambie works with colored electrical tape in playful patterns and designs — Apartment Therapy has featured his inspiring tape floor projects and the artist currently has a show at The Muse...
Bright blue walls have been on our minds ever since we saw pictures of Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye, and when we saw this particular peacock blue accent wall at Liberty of London on a recent trip t...
Half-bath's don't have much room to make a design statement, so we humor ourselves by writing secret messages to each other in our tiny one. The messages on the back chalkboard wall can only be dec...
We spotted this sweet little detail in the bathroom of friend of ours who lives with a rented bathroom that's awaiting a facelift sometime down the road. We actually like this idea of using a stai...
Our dog, Bacon, likes to "island hop" around the apartment — scurrying from one Flor rug to the next. But he's also consumed by a steamy love affair with our neighbor's Rottweiler (that's righ...
We're revving up to paint the outside of our house so we're on the lookout for interesting accent and/or trim color placement. This house in Jamaica Plain caught our eye with its fresh and fun yello...
Due to both overwhelming response and one particularly astute reader, we decided to have another go at this High & Low Entryway from Boston Home's summer issue. No one is disputing that $15,000 ...
It’s fascinating to imagine the history of spaces that seem virtually untouched by time, like this stairwell in a downtown Providence office building. Yes, the railing could use a little TLC, but ...
While visiting family last week we were enlisted to help complete a lengthy living room makeover. First step: softening up a lonely landing strip. The dark table, toy baskets and mirror needed a str...
We have a habit of looking up when we eat out because — in well designed spaces like Audubon Circle near Fenway — we often discover a lovely light fixture we've never seen before. We sna...

This photo is from our building's foyer, built circa 1920. The light coming through the front door windows refracts in the old glass panes, creating beautiful, ripple-like patterns. Our living room ...

We snapped these photos the other day of Puma City under construction at Fan Pier, near the ICA. The large canti-levers mimic the museum's and together they create quite a statement along the waterf...
This might be a luxury for the child-free (and dog-free, come to think about it), but we love the look of art on the floor. This example comes from Katin & Brandon's Marblehead house tour and wo...
We are concerned, very concerned, that IT is happening. That, as we prophesied in this earlier post about our first doggy statue, we're edging way too close to becoming "those people" who collect a...

Norwegian-based photographer Trine Thorsen photographed a creative shoe storage solution that would work in our home near the back door, especially during mud-season. It's made using a vintage ladd...
