Cole & Son Wallpaper

Recently my mom showed me one of her favorite Instagram accounts -- Cole & Son Wallpapers. Her love affair with Cole & Son began in Bath, England where she stayed in a flat adorned with their classic Hummingbird pattern.  I have to agree with her. Their Instagram feed is like a candy store for design enthusiasts. 

Creative Hostess Gift Ideas

It's hard to believe that the holidays are officially here! (Boy, this year flew by!) I'm looking forward to all of the parties and events over the next few weeks, but with the fun comes the need for some hostess gifts.  Sure, a bottle of wine or a bouquet of flowers are nice, but I try to come up with something a little more creative. It's an easy way to show the host or hostess that you put some thought into the gift and appreciate the invite.

Apple and Butternut Squash Bisque

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and that means its almost time for me to make my favorite apple and butternut squash soup! I wish I could claim this recipe as my own, but it actually came from a Plated meal I received last year. Seriously guys, if you haven't looked into Plated, you need to. All of their recipes are incredible and super easy! Their apple and butternut squash soup was so delicious I made it on repeat last winter (with just a slight variation to the recipe so I didn't have to turn the oven on). I hope you like it as much as I do!

Designer Highlight: James Farmer

A few weeks ago I was scrolling through the explore page on Instagram and I stumbled across an interior designer named James Farmer (@jamestfarmer).  It wasn't long before I was mesmerized by his instagram feed and researching Farmer's design company online.
