A Classic in Villanova

I recently came across this beautiful home by Archer & Buchanan Architecture in West Chester, PA. Built on 14 acres in the countryside near old Philadelphia, it is an "homage to the gentleman farmer estates restored in the early 1900’s by famed Chester County architect R. Brognard Okie."
I love the formal, yet cozy spaces.  And, the great pops of fun color in the butler's pantry and library. Enjoy!

Every room needs a beautiful mirrored surface to reflect light and add just a touch of glamour.  Here are some fabulous pieces from the John Richard Collection.  And, some other fun pieces as well! Enjoy!

Simply Classic Sunday

Loving this 1950's colonial home that was renovated by Daniel Conlon Architects in Darien, Connecticut. Conlon's and the family's goal was to "make it look like a home from the 1940s, which was a really great period."  Clean, crisp, and elegant!    Enjoy!

Expecting a Sweet Lil' Monkey

I was honored to help host my daughter-in-law's baby shower this past weekend and what a great time we had!  The 7.5 hour drive down to Virginia was more than worth it, as she loved all the designs and had such fun with friends and family!  Thanks again to all my party friends out there, who always make these beautiful events possible with their creativity and love of a good party!  Enjoy!
