Hi, hi! I’m back on Long Island this weekend…I mainly came out to visit the 2017 Hampton Designer Showhouse yesterday (check it all out on Insta stories), but I’m extra glad to be here anyway because it’s so dang hot…need to be near water! The Showhouse was great – my Mom and I attended the press preview and not only were the houses (yes, there are two this year!) gorgeous, but everyone there, from showhouse staff to designers, was so nice. We were able to meet and chat with several of the designers (including Libby Langdon!) and it was great to hear the inspiration behind their spaces. I’ll be sharing my favorites from the Showhouse starting next week…hope you guys enjoy!

PS – the photos above are a little peek at my new apartment! Still so much to do but little bits and pieces are coming along, slowly but surely. I can’t wait to share more about the decorating process here on the blog, but in the meantime be sure to follow along on Insta for sneak peeks!

And now some links for your weekend perusal:
