Hi everyone!!!!

I know it’s been 2,000 + years since I’ve posted here, so who knows if any of you are still reading this page, but I have some exciting news to share!!!

Remember over a year ago when I shared that Apartment Therapy had come to my home to take some pictures?  Well, those pictures are finally going to be seen in the form of their new book that due out in just over a week!!!! Words can’t even begin to explain how excited I am to share my home in this format, it is truly SUCH AN HONOR (and absolutely bonkers/crazy.)

Anyway, just thought I’d share.  For those of you looking for guides and inspiration, I think this one’s for you. 

You can pre-order it here, or pick up a copy when it hits stands!

Major home envy going on for Kate Davison's San Fran space.  

This dining room and I are feeling moody today. 

Hello out there!

Congrats on getting your first space!  I remember how excited I was the first time I moved into an apartment of my very own back in college. 

To answer your questions, the couch and coffee table were both from west elm.  These were my big apartment splurges... I'd been using a hand-me-down coffee table from my mother's college days, and my couch was something I picked up for $50 at a yard sale. When I moved to New York, I finally said goodbye to both and treated myself to pieces that I really loved (and knew would last.)

The white chairs I actually found at TJ Maxx for a total steal.... They originally had dark-wood legs, but I changed them a little to compliment my space by painting them the color you see in the photos, something I think a lot of people don't realize they have the option to do when purchasing something new. Never be afraid to tweak something store-bought if it doesn't quite fit what you're looking for.  

Life lately as seen from my Instagram.

I could sing from the roofs, it feels like fall here in NYC today.... here's a pretty table to look at to get you in the mood (despite the temperature where ever you may be)

all of this, yes please.

my ideal farmhouse situation.
