A Chic Palm Beach Home by McCann Design Group
Frequently, I am contacted by readers looking for recommendations on interior design firms, and Palm Beach-based McCann Design Group is always on my list. McCann Design Group is known for their fresh, sophisticated approach to creating beautiful spaces, inspired by the coastal subtropics. Today, I am sharing one of my favorite projects from their portfolio…. This home is located on the North End of Palm Beach, and it is absolutely gorgeous!
McCann Design Group (MDG) was founded in 2000 by Sara McCann. In 2013, MDG opened HIVE HOME, GIFT & GARDEN with carefully-chosen collections of furniture, lighting, home accessories, gifts, stationery, and plants. Make sure to stop by next time you are in West Palm Beach! Online shopping will be available soon. And please stay tuned, as I will be sharing more from MDG’s incredible portfolio*!

Kate Spade’s New Home Collection
Kate Spade just launched a fabulous new home collection that embodies the brand’s femininity, whimsy, and wit offering flirty furniture, lighting, rugs, and other staples. The line’s inspiration, said Kate Spade New York president and creative director Deborah Lloyd, is “interesting people leading interesting lives. I imagine these pieces in the homes of Karlie Kloss, Iris Apfel, Audrey Hepburn…”
Do you see the signature gold Kate Spade bow at the bottom of this chic Georgia Chest?
I’m in love with the painterly dots and clean lines of the Downing Desk in the style of Tommi Parzinger. You can read the story behind it here.
How adorable is the Pavilion Dot Cylinder Table Lamp?
And the Dickinson Large Pendant is so glamorous with its stunning starburst design and clusters of pearls and crystals.
Also from the lighting collection is this Ellery Sconce with a fabulous gold bow. I’m obsessed!

Design Crush: Sarah Bartholomew Designs
One of my favorite Instagram accounts belongs to Sarah Bartholomew Designs, an incredibly chic and talented interior designer based in Nashville. Sarah is known for her sophisticated, timeless, all-American style. The classic beauty also happens to be a muse and model for Mark D. Sikes and his new MDS Stripes collection, which I plan to write about soon. And her fabulous Pinterest account was named one of the 10 must-follow southern Pinterest accounts by Domino Magazine. She is a true style icon!
Sarah Bartholomew Designs will be launching a website in a few months, which I cannot wait to feature. In the meantime, here are a few of my favorite images I have pulled from her Instagram account…
This is one of my absolute favorite entryways. It is just stunning! Sarah and I clearly share a passion for Pierre Frey’s Toile de Nantes, leopard carpets, and blue and white Chinoiserie! Image via Amy Berry.
Sarah’s elegant formal living room… perfection! Image via Amy Berry.
You know I love a classic white kitchen with blue and white accessories!
Ahhh… La Cornue!
Now that is a glamorous laundry room! I’m loving the Quadrille Climbing Hydrangea wallpaper.
More perfection in the powder room.
I’m in love with Chou Chou by Sister Parish. I hope to see more of this lovely bathroom on Sarah’s website!
Quadrille’s Lyford Trellis and Leontine Linens = a winning combination!

Traditional Perfection in Upstate New York
This gorgeous Georgian Colonial came on the market some time ago… I saved the pictures and never got around to publishing. Built in 1915, the home and English gardens have been renovated to timeless perfection. Details such as hand-painted Chinoiserie wallpaper in the dining room, a classic white kitchen, rich wood paneling in the family room, and loads of chintz in the guest rooms including one of my favorites… Bowood by Colfax and Fowler, make this house a dream come true. I could move right in!
This elegant 4,381 square-foot home features five bedrooms and six baths. It is positively exquisite, yet warm and cozy… the perfect family home. I could not love it more!
