Get the Look: Jewel Box Dining ROom

Hey, hey Kate Cabiltes here! Deep blue spaces, specifically in the form of blue accent walls have me feeling all kinds of inspired these days so it’s no wonder coming across this beautiful jewel box of a dining room by west coast designer Emily Henderson caught my eye. I love the modern Scandinavian vibes of... Read more

Roundup: Modern Beach Towels

Now that we have a pool at the #hotlantamidmod I’ve been on the hunt for cool beach towels. We have a bunch that I purchased in previous years at Ikea and Target but I’m realizing a few things. 1) you need exponentially more beach towels when you own a pool 2) a towel with a... Read more

Roundup: Modern Kitchen Faucets

Hey there! Taryn Bone here again.  Kitchen faucets have come a long way. I’m always looking for the cleanest lines without looking super sci-fi. Pull down spouts are also super important, but I can’t stand these models that have a flair out. I just want a functional, simple kitchen faucet – so if you do... Read more

Roundup: Poolside Lounges

Now that we have a pool, I’ve been in the process of furnishing it. While we had outdoor furniture before, the style doesn’t really fit our new mid-century home and we needed some additional pieces, namely pool lounge chairs.  I wanted something with a clean mid-century feel that didn’t feel cheap but that ultimately was...

Get the look: black and blue entryway

Hi all, it’s Kate Cabiltes. I am a fan of the aesthetic of Cortney Bishop Design, so much so that I’ve featured one of her bedrooms here previously. This entryway is eye catching but still clean and calming. I love the light wood floors and white shiplap walls layered with various textures and patterns. The... Read more

Roundup – Breakfast Room Pendants

I am working on a friend’s breakfast nook in her open kitchen area.  She has a modern vibe in her house – a little mid century, but maybe more sleek with a pop of color.  The ideal set up is a round pedestal table, clean comfy seating and a beautiful pendant above.  Here are a... Read more

Roundup: Counter height bar stools

I’ve been on the hunt for a pair of fun stools for the end of our kitchen island at the #hotlantamidmod.  Luckily for me there are lots of counter height stools out there on the market now.  However, I think a lot of people still get confused about what size stool to buy for a... Read more

Get the Look: San Francisco Proper Hotel

Hey there, Kate Cabiltes here! This modern, fresh and quirky hotel lobby space really caught my eye when I spied it on my Instagram feed. The San Francisco Proper Hotel is filled with rooms that are easy on the eyes but the open lobby is especially inspiring to me. Outfitted in furniture and décor that... Read more

Roundup: My Favorite Bedside Sconces

Recently I’ve spent a lot of time looking at bedside sconces for our master bedroom and also for the kids’ rooms. I really love a sconce at the bed. It offers directional lighting so one person can sleep while the other reads and it keeps our nightstand surface uncluttered which is key if you have... Read more
