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.

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: 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

Having a Matisse Moment

Illustration by Abbey Lossing I’ve been noticing a lot of Henri Matisse inspired items of late. I think it’s sort of the more organic reaction to all of the colorful yet structured Memphis modern stuff going on.  In any case, I’m digging it and here are a few of my favorite iterations. Kate Zaremba Wallpaper... Read more
