As a designer, writer, and entrepreneur, I’m obsessed with anything that is luxury, unique, or glamorous! I have a keen eye for style and love sharing all my ideas, muses, and projects with the rest of the design world! I love to travel along with Sophie, my mini Schnauzer whom I take on all my great adventures.

Work with Mother Nature for a Successful Outdoor Dinner Party
Be an outdoor hostess this spring and serve your guests in style along with Mother Nature. Here are some quick tips to make your outdoor dinner party a successful one!
- Heavy metal napkin holders will keep from blowing away when guests arrive.
- Comfortable chairs that are weather proof and UV resistant will provide both style and outdoor durability.
- Create ambience with outdoor speakers that can be placed in your garden in the shape of rocks.
- Dishes in natural shapes are golden touches – try finding some in the shape of leaves or fruit.
- Make a secondary serving area using a bar cart to hold extra wine, linens, salad dressings, and plates.
- Patio heaters work wonders when the temperature cools down at night.
- Keep the bar cart stocked with signature teas and iced beverage to keep your company hydrated.

Designer’s Best Kept Secret – 1 Step Dining Table Makeover
Let’s admit it – all interior designers and home owners are working within a budget and love to save a quick buck where they can. This design craze has got it all – it’s fashionable, cheap, and super easy! If you have an old dining table you’d love to toss, think again and opt for a floor length table cloth. Choose one that droops down to the floor and invest in your dining chairs instead.
This quick fix works great even for side tables in your bedroom or foyer. For a look that’s even more chic find a suzani print tablecloth or one with long luscious fringe.
