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.

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.

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!
Palm Beach Chic: By Jennifer Ash Rudick
When a new book titled Palm Beach Chic is released, you know I am going to get excited… Written by long-time Palm Beach resident Jennifer Ash Ruddick, this book has me positively giddy! Palm Beach Chic takes you on an insider’s tour of 25 extraordinary homes and gardens in and around Palm Beach including landmarks by legendary Palm Beach architects Addison Mizner, Maurice Fatio, and Marion Sims Wyeth. There are also cozy cottages nestled amid tropical foliage, an exotic Moorish casbah, postmodern villas, a sprawling ranch, and Mad Men-era vintage condos.
Jennifer’s lifelong fascination with houses of all kinds began with her first trip to Palm Beach when she was 12 years old. Her family was house hunting, as her mother was soon to become the publisher of the Palm Beach Daily News (aka “The Shiny Sheet”) and her father an editorial writer for the Palm Beach Post. “From my adult perspective today, I realize that Palm Beach was basically what it had always been – the land of dreams come true…” she said. I couldn’t agree more! Palm Beach Chic truly captures the mythic setting of this American paradise.
Let’s step behind the hedges and take a peek inside the homes of notables including Laura and Harry Slatkin, Leonard Lauder, Meg Braff, Liza Pulitzer Calhoun, Mimi McMakin, Pauline Pitt, Lars Bolander, Josie Natori, Lisa Perry, Terry Allen Kramer, Beth Rudin DeWoody, and Jorge Sanchez.

I spy Dodie Thayer’s lettuce ware… A Palm Beach essential!
Step inside Villa Artemis, built in 1916 for the Guest family, and backdrop for the iconic Slim Aarons photograph featuring the legendary C.Z. Guest.
Palm Beach Chic features over 400 glorious color photographs and is available for purchase through Amazon. Jennifer Ash Rudick is also the author Private Palm Beach: Tropical Style, which I highly recommend as well. You will definitely want to add these exquisite books to your library!
