Summer with Tuckernuck, Ralph Lauren’s American Icons Stamps, and Hill House Home x Roller Rabbit

Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at Hill House Home x Roller Rabbit, Ralph Lauren’s American Icons, and Tuckernuck Comes to Nantucket. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Summer with Tuckernuck

Tuckernuck just launched a new Summer Entertaining Collection, featuring a beautiful Americana print just in time for the Fourth of July! The red, white, and blue pattern is available across tabletop essentials perfect for summer entertaining.

Tuckernuck’s Summer Entertaining Collection

The Americana-inspired collection is perfect for celebrating the season with informal meals in the backyard. Good friends, good food, and the kind of easy entertaining summer calls for.

Furthermore, Tuckernuck has officially arrived on Nantucket with the opening of A Sailor’s Valentine, a delightful new concept store on Centre Street that celebrates all things chic Americana and Nantucket lore. While the thoughtfully curated capsule collection is certainly worth browsing, it is the interiors that truly stole our hearts.

Tuckernuck Nantucket

Named after the intricate shell mosaics sailors once brought home as gifts, the shop embraces the tradition in the most charming way imaginable. Bright, punchy, and unabashedly cheerful, the space is layered with nautical references, bold color, and playful details that feel perfectly suited to summer on Nantucket. Most enchanting of all are the shell-covered walls, where shells have been meticulously arranged into decorative patterns that manage to feel both wonderfully creative and surprisingly elegant.

Tuckernuck Nantucket

Rather than relying on the pared-back coastal aesthetic that has become so ubiquitous, A Sailor’s Valentine embraces ornament, color, and whimsy. It feels fresh, spirited, and distinctly Nantucket without slipping into cliché. The result is the sort of space that reminds us why we love interiors. It is immersive, joyful, and full of personality, with plenty of inspiration.

If you’re headed to Nantucket this summer, come for the shopping, but stay to admire the shells… and be sure to check out Tuckernuck’s Nantucket Travel Guide, with insider tips on where to stay, eat, and shop on Nantucket, according to Tuckernuck.

Ralph Lauren’s American Icons Stamps

Just when we thought Ralph Lauren had found every possible way to define American style, he has landed on postage stamps.

To celebrate the United States’ 250th anniversary, Ralph Lauren has curated American Icons, a collection of 13 commemorative Forever stamps for the U.S. Postal Service. The imagery reads like a visual mood board for the Ralph Lauren universe: a weathered pickup truck, a teddy bear, a baseball glove, wild horses, a lighthouse, a barn, the Empire State Building, and, naturally, an American flag sweater. The collection’s centerpiece is a special knit flag designed by Lauren himself, framed by a field of blue denim.

What makes the project particularly noteworthy is that it marks the first time an individual has been invited to curate an entire collection of official USPS stamps. And it is difficult to imagine a more fitting choice. For nearly six decades, Ralph Lauren has built an empire on a romantic vision of America, transforming everything from Western ranches and East Coast prep schools to vintage sportswear and country estates into an enduring cultural touchstone.

Beyond the upcoming 250th celebrations, the collaboration arrives at a moment when stamp collecting seems to be making a resurgence. Perhaps it is nostalgia, perhaps it is the appeal of tangible objects in an increasingly digital world, or perhaps we are all looking for excuses to send more handwritten notes. Whatever the reason, we are firmly in favor. Longtime readers may recall our passion for stamp collecting, and we have a feeling these stamps may find their way into more than a few albums, desk drawers, and correspondence collections. The stamps can be found here!

Hill House Home x Roller Rabbit

If there are any two brands that embody joy and playfulness, it would be Hill House Home and Roller Rabbit. And if you adore Roller Rabbit pajamas and own at least one Nap Dress, this collaboration was made for you. Hill House Home and Roller Rabbit have joined forces on a limited-edition collection that combines the best of both worlds. With iconic prints, easy summer dresses, and cheerful pajamas, the collection arrives just in time for the season’s beach weekends and summer escapes.

The collection feels wonderfully nostalgic without veering into costume. Roller Rabbit’s beloved monkey motif appears across Hill House’s signature silhouettes, creating pieces that feel equally suited to a beach vacation, a weekend at the lake, or a lazy morning spent lingering over coffee and the newspaper. Bright colors, charming prints, and a healthy dose of whimsy make the entire collection difficult to resist.

There is something refreshingly carefree about it all. In a sea of fashion launches that take themselves rather seriously, this one embraces a sense of lightheartedness. It calls to mind sleepaway camp trunks, family holidays, and the sort of summers that seem to stretch on forever. Shop the full collection here.

Remembering the Historic Connecticut Home of Percy Steinhart

Today STAIR is holding the single-owner sale of the late Percy Steinhart via The World of Percy Steinhart: A Gentleman’s Life, and in reflection, we remember his charming 19th century countryside home in Litchfield, Connecticut. Known as the bon vivant founder and creative force behind Stubbs & Wootton, Percy’s life moved between Park Avenue, Palm Beach, and Litchfield, Connecticut. Across the many influences of his rich and colorful life, STAIR’s collection reflects the same thoughtfully layered and playfully disciplined sensibilities that Percy brought to his own creative practice.

Percy’s passion for design is exemplified through the extensive renovations to his historic Connecticut estate which he oversaw with an eagle eye, preserving the home’s incredible bones while making it livable within the current century. Furthermore, he decorated the home entirely on his own, displaying what Architectural Digest referred to as “an encyclopedic knowledge of the design world” influenced by legends including the greats including Van Day Truex, David Hicks, Billy Baldwin, Anthony Hail, and Mario Buatta.

Currently available through Sotheby’s Realty, the listing provides the following details about this historic 19th century estate:

This stunning 1874 Federal house sits on a 3.93-acre lot and backs up to land-trust property. It was fully renovated and designed by Percy Steinhart, the design maven who created Stubbs & Wooton shoes. The estate contains a 6,641 square foot Main House, plus a wonderful Pool House and Carriage House. In the Main House, the spacious Entry Hall leads to the Living Room with a fireplace and a charming bay window. A large Library with a fireplace opens into a spacious Garden Room. The elegant Dining Room has a corner fireplace and double exposures. Adjacent is a gourmet Kitchen with a large island, high-end appliances, and a sizeable breakfast area with a spacious Cloak and Powder Room nearby. The front and back staircases lead to the second floor and a Primary Suite consisting of a large bedroom with a bay window and fireplace, and an elegant en-suite Bath. A second Bedroom with a fireplace is adjacent to the Primary. Two additional Bedrooms with en-suite Baths, and a Laundry Room, complete the second floor. On the third floor is a center gathering room plus two large Bedrooms and Baths. A large, unrenovated room has potential for use as an additional Bedroom, Gym, or Office. The Basement has a two-car garage with a Half Bath and generous storage rooms. The property is beautifully landscaped with a Croquet Lawn, a large pool, and Pool House with an outdoor fireplace for cooking, and a Greenhouse. The Main House and Pool House have updated HVAC systems with Central Air.

Born in Havana, Cuba, Percival Paul Steinhart III studied business and later worked as an executive at Citicorp. He founded Stubbs & Wootton in 1993, naming it in homage to the English sporting painters George Stubbs and John Wootton. His passion for art, decoration, and history extended beyond his business and into his homes, where he welcomed a great number of friends to gather in the warmth of his wit, curiosity, and joie de vivre.

Traditional English and Continental furniture sat comfortably alongside European school paintings and Chinese ceramics, as well as modern furniture and decoration, including a pair of white painted plaster palm trees in the manner of Serge Roche. Latin American and Cuban fine art were central to the development of Percy’s style and worldview, with works by Guido Llinás, Manuel Mendive, Roberto Matta, and Kcho hanging vividly throughout his interiors. These works complete the story of his family heritage and demonstrate how a discerning eye finds harmony across time, place, and style.

STAIR’s The World of Percy Steinhart: A Gentleman’s Life sale, is a portrait and reflection of the man himself. His collection of furniture, fine art, and decoration carries his humor, discipline, generosity, and singular eye. It reveals someone who believed that elegance should never feel stiff, that beauty should always have a sense of play, and that the things we live with shape us in return.

GreenRow x New York Botanical Garden, Dorothy Draper Decorating Weekend, and Corey Damen Jenkins’ NYC Apartment

Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at GreenRow x New York Botanical Garden, Dorothy Draper Decorating Weekend, and Corey Damen Jenkins’ NYC Apartment. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

GreenRow x New York Botanical Garden

There are few places more inspiring than the New York Botanical Garden, particularly in the spring and summer months. What is perhaps most extraordinary, especially to designers, is its extensive archive, filled with centuries of botanical studies, rare books, and exquisitely rendered illustrations. Together, they serve as a beautiful reminder that nature has always been one of the world’s greatest decorators.

GreenRow x NYBG
GreenRow x NYBG

Now, GreenRow, a sustainable home furnishings company, is bringing a bit of that magic into the home with a new collaboration inspired by the New York Botanical Garden. Drawing from the Garden’s historic archives, the collection spans wallpaper, bedding, rugs, tabletop, linens, and decorative accessories, all interpreted through GreenRow’s signature vintage-inspired aesthetic.

GreenRow x NYBG
GreenRow x NYBG

What we especially love is that the collection feels more like a group of treasured finds than a traditional collaboration. Rich florals, painterly details, and timeless patterns evoke the charm of an old botanical folio, while hand-crafted elements lend the pieces a warmth and character that feels perfectly at home in today’s interiors.

GreenRow x NYBG
GreenRow x NYBG

Beyond the beauty of the designs themselves, the partnership also celebrates the enduring connection between interiors and the natural world. Better still, the collaboration supports NYBG’s ongoing work in plant science, conservation, and education, making it every bit as meaningful as it is lovely. Shop the full GreenRow x NYBG collection here!

Dorothy Draper Decorating Weekend

What is more instantly recognizable than the grand interiors of The Greenbrier. Since Dorothy Draper transformed the grand resort in 1946, her fearless use of color, exuberant patterns, and larger-than-life sense of glamour have made it one of America’s great decorating destinations and a pilgrimage site for design lovers everywhere.

This fall, The Greenbrier celebrates that remarkable legacy with its 10th Annual Dorothy Draper Decorating Weekend, a gathering dedicated to the enduring magic of Dorothy Draper & Company. Guests will have the opportunity to go behind the scenes through exclusive interior tours, design lectures, evening receptions, and even a visit to the upholstery workshop where the resort’s legendary interiors are lovingly maintained.

Perhaps most exciting of all is the chance to hear directly from the people carrying Draper’s legacy forward, including Dorothy Draper & Co. President Sebastian Varney, Design Director Rudy Saunders, and members of the celebrated design team. Equal parts master class and design fantasy, it will be a wonderfully colorful and inspiring weekend.

Longtime TGP readers may remember that we had the pleasure of attending and covering the event a couple years ago, and it remains one of our favorite design weekends. You can revisit our previous coverage here and here, and for those tempted to make the pilgrimage themselves, reservations and additional information can be found here.

Corey Damen Jenkins’ NYC Apartment

One of the great joys of seeing a designer’s own home is witnessing what happens when there are no client approvals, no committees, and no compromises beyond those of everyday life. Such is the case with Corey Damen Jenkins’ newly redone New York apartment, a home that feels deeply personal while showing the exuberant point of view that has made him one of today’s most celebrated designers.

Originally envisioned as a city pied-à-terre, the apartment ultimately became the primary home that Corey shares with his husband, Adam. The project was as much about bringing together two lives as it was two collections, blending decades of accumulated art, antiques, and furniture into a space that feels joyful, layered, and entirely authentic.

Rather than adhering to a single style, Corey embraces a wonderfully eclectic mix of antiques, mid-century finds, chinoiserie, and glamorous Deco-inspired lighting, all united by a rich palette of emerald, sapphire, garnet, black, and brass. We are especially fond of the deeply romantic details, from the antique map of Colombia honoring Adam’s heritage to the floor-to-ceiling chocolate silk drapery that transforms an otherwise uninspiring bedroom window into a moment of pure drama.

The result is a home that feels collected rather than decorated, proving once again that the most memorable interiors are often those that tell the story of the people who live within them.

Style Profile: Maggie Griffin Design

With a keen eye for detail, Maggie and her team design spaces that are freshly classic, and comfortable for everyday life. Their clientele spans across the Southeast featuring estate home new-builds to large renovations and beautiful interiors decorated with care.

Working with exceptional builders, skilled architects, proficient vendors, and talented tradesmen in the design community, Maggie Griffin Design creates homes designed to stand the test of time.

We are delighted to welcome Maggie to The Glam Pad today for a Style Profile Q&A and a peek inside her exquisite portfolio. Photography by Brian Bieder.

Welcome, Maggie!

Q:  Please tell us about your design firm, how you got started and what types of projects you manage?

A:  I get asked pretty often about when I got my start in design, and the answer is that I have been doing this my whole life! Growing up helping my mom, and my two grandmothers, it was so lovely to watch and see how they made their houses a “home.” My mom had a fancy Atlanta “decorator” who would make the two and a half hour drive south to spend time helping her place furniture, she would bring fabrics, and show me how to hang art. It was a wonderful introduction, and I love that I get to do that for so many wonderful clients now.


 

Q:  How do you define your style?

A:  My style is inherently very Southern. A warm, classic mix of old family pieces, colorful fabrics, and pretty prints. Nothing too precious but a great combination of old and new, with a love of entertaining and hospitality, always.

Q:  When did you first fall in love with beautiful homes and know you wanted to pursue design as a career?

A:  I have loved it my whole life! I had a playhouse in our yard growing up, and was constantly rearranging and setting up house. Same with my adored Barbie Dreamhouse and my beautiful Victorian dollhouse. By the time high school came around, I couldn’t wait to pursue this as a career.

Q:  What are some of the ways you go about making a house a home?

A:  Taking into consideration how a family operates; do they cook, do they order out mostly, do they have people over frequently, or are they homebodies? Really seeing how they live their life, and then infusing my inherent principles of symmetry, scale, and balance to create a space that reflects who they are.

Q:  What are the key ingredients of “Southern Style”?

A:  Pretty pieces that came from your grandmother, too many sets of china, and silver that’s been passed down. Comfy upholstery, pretty florals, a fair amount of buffalo check and gingham.

Q:  How do you design homes suited for entertaining, and personally, what are some of your favorite ways to entertain at home?

A:  I always think of flow. Where is the group entering from? How many do you need to fit around the table? Do we need a wet bar nearby? A coat closet at the front door? Really taking stock of how they like to entertain, and how many they’ll have over. When designing my personal home, I created spaces for large and small crowds to gather, indoors and out.

Q:  Where do you find inspiration?

A:  My favorite sources of inspiration are beautiful coffee table books, online home tours, monthly magazines, and travel.

Q:  If you could travel back in time, what period would you like to visit and why?

A:  I think I would’ve loved the Victorian era, when ornamentation was all the rage, both in homes and in fashion.

Q:  What are some of your favorite collaborations over the years, and do you have other exciting projects in the works? We love the one you did with Ballard Designs!

A:  It’s been so fun to be a part of the Ballard Designs family for so long! And to watch their business continue to grow. With the addition of my own product lines for Maggie Griffin At Home, it’s been such a labor of love.

Q:  When you aren’t busy designing, what do you enjoy doing in your free time?

A:  My family is everything to me! My nights home with my husband and our three boys are the best. I am happiest when I am with them, in my soft clothes, and we are cooking in the kitchen. I also spend a lot of time outdoors with them, and we enjoy being active as a family. Reading, doing flowers for my church, and volunteering at their school bring me joy, too.

 

Thank you, Maggie for joining us today! We love everything you do!

The World of Stubbs & Wootton’s Percy Steinhart, Peony Paradise with Christopher Spitzmiller, and Dior at SCAD Atlanta

Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at The World of Percy Steinhart, Peony Paradise with Christopher Spitzmiller, and Dior at SCAD Atlanta. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

The World of Percy Steinhart

There are collectors, and then there are true tastemakers. Percy Steinhart undoubtedly belonged to the latter camp. Today, STAIR unveils The World of Percy Steinhart: A Gentleman’s Life, an auction celebrating the founder of Stubbs & Wootton and the distinctly stylish world he created. The collection is every bit as charming, worldly, and thoughtfully curated as the man himself.

Born in Havana, Percy cultivated an aesthetic that balanced sophistication with ease like no other. English antiques mingle effortlessly with modern pieces, Chinese ceramics, European paintings, and works by notable Latin American and Cuban artists, reflecting both his heritage and his discerning eye. In true Percy fashion, elegance never takes itself too seriously.

Throughout the collection, one finds the same qualities that made Stubbs & Wootton so beloved: personality, craftsmanship, a sense of history, and just the right amount of whimsy and humor. It is the sort of sale that invites lingering over every page of the catalogue, giving a glimpse into Percy’s rarified world and the beautifully homes he inhabited.

Peony Paradise with Christopher Spitzmiller

This weekend, celebrated designer and gardener Christopher Spitzmiller is opening his “Peony Field of Dreams,” inviting visitors to Orangerie Garden to experience the height of peony season and bring home freshly cut stems from his collection of more than 2,000 plants.

Christopher will be on hand to discuss the many varieties he has spent years cultivating, offering a rare opportunity to learn from someone whose love of flowers is nearly as legendary as his lamps. For those of us who eagerly await peony season each year, this feels a bit like a pilgrimage.

Corals, whites, pale pinks, and vivid magentas will be in bloom, creating what can only be described as peony paradise. The event takes place this Saturday from 10am to 1pm at Orangerie Garden in Pleasant Valley, New York, and we can think of few lovelier ways to spend a spring morning.

Dior at SCAD Atlanta

As lovers of design, we are often just as interested in the process as the finished product. Perhaps that is why Dior: Crafting Fashion at the SCAD museum in Atlanta, immediately caught our attention. Rather than simply displaying a range of beautiful dresses, the exhibition explores the creative world behind the House of Dior and all the details that go into making a garment.

From the first muslin mock-ups to the spectacular runway moments that follow, visitors are invited into the making of the Dior dream itself. More than 100 pieces are on view, including items never before exhibited publicly.

One detail we found particularly fascinating is that Christian Dior originally dreamed of becoming an architect. Suddenly, so much of the house’s enduring appeal makes sense. There has always been something deeply architectural about Dior. The structure, the precision, and the balance between discipline and romance are the very same qualities that make a beautiful building, only Dior transformed them into some of fashion’s most unforgettable dresses.

The exhibition also traces the history of the maison, from Christian Dior through the designers who followed in his footsteps, each bringing a distinct perspective. For those who appreciate craftsmanship, artistry, and a peek behind the curtain, this is exhibition worth adding to the itinerary.

A Timelessly Refreshed Historic Federal in Charleston

Betsy Berry, founder of B. Berry Interiors, believes in the power of story when designing a home. Every space she creates is both elegant and comfortable, with unique details that seamlessly blend the history of a property with clean, modern touches.

A native of the South Carolina Lowcountry, Berry grew up with a profound appreciation for historic architecture. Her love of aesthetic design led her to study fashion in Florence, Italy, but her ardor for historic preservation held strong. After studying at the New York School for Interior Design, she melded her passions for architecture and style, working under some of the world’s most renowned designers—including Sills Huniford and David Easton.

Under Berry’s meticulous eye, this stately Federal home in Charleston’s historic South of Broad neighborhood underwent a meticulous two-year transformation.

Working with E.E. Fava Architects and Wertimer + Cline Landscape Architects, the team transformed the 8,130-square-foot residence, blending timeless elegance with bold, personalized design.

Let’s take a peek inside!

Visual Comfort x Ralph Lauren Home, D. Porthault x Stubbs & Wootton, and WOW!house 2026

Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at Visual Comfort x Ralph Lauren Home, D. Porthault x Stubbs & Wootton, and WOW!house 2026. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Ralph Lauren x Visual Comfort

Few do classic Americana quite like Ralph Lauren Home, and the latest introductions for Visual Comfort & Co. are no exception. With new pieces including the Halpern, Irving, and Embers, the collection feels timeless in that distinctly Ralph Lauren way: polished yet relaxed, elegant yet entirely livable.

What makes the launch especially fun, however, is the imagery itself. Set within richly layered Ralph Lauren-designed interiors, the rooms feel warm, collected, and deeply American in the most classic sense. There is a ease to the spaces that makes the lighting feel as though it has always belonged there. Something we always love at The Glam Pad!

The collection already has us feeling inspired, and frankly, the imagery has us pining for an all-American summer out East filled with breezy mornings, wicker chairs, striped upholstery, and long evenings by the fire. Editorial, atmospheric, and endlessly timeless, it is everything we love about Ralph Lauren’s world.

D. Porthault x Stubbs & Wootton

At The Glam Pad, we have long loved the world of D. Porthault Paris. For decades, the storied French house has embodied the sort of elegance we endlessly gravitate toward, with exquisite linens that feel steeped in beauty, tradition, and the art of living well. Naturally, we have featured the brand often over the years, so the latest collaboration with Stubbs & Wootton immediately caught our attention.

The new D. Porthault x Stubbs & Wootton collection brings Porthault’s beloved hearts, florals, and prints to Stubbs’ signature handcrafted slippers, resulting in a collection that feels equal parts French charm and Palm Beach polish. The collaboration feels especially natural, united by a shared appreciation for craftsmanship, timeless design, and those small luxuries that make everyday rituals feel beautiful.

While the entire collection is delightful, we are especially partial to the Coeurs slippers, which feel wonderfully cheerful and chic for summer. Inspired by D. Porthault’s iconic heart motif, the linen slippers are finished with embroidered hearts and strike a perfect balance between playful and polished.

The full collection is available here. We cannot wait to get our hands on a pair!

WOW!house 2026

If there is one event the design world waits for each summer, it is undoubtedly WOW!house at Design Centre Chelsea Harbour. Returning for its fifth year, the immersive London showhouse officially opens June 2nd and runs through July 2nd, once again transforming Chelsea Harbour into a dream for interiors lovers.

Sims Hilditch Courtyard Room by Emma Sims-Hilditch, WOW!house 2025
Sims Hilditch Courtyard Room by Emma Sims-Hilditch, WOW!house 2025

Featuring 22 full-scale rooms and outdoor spaces by an impressive roster of designers, WOW!house has quickly become one of the most inspiring events on the international design calendar. Part showhouse, part fantasy, the rooms always feel transportive, layered with beautiful craftsmanship, remarkable materials, and the sort of creative detail that reminds us why we love this industry so much in the first place.

Treasure House Fair Morning Room by Daniel Slowik, WOW!house 2025
Casa Branca Bedroom by Alessandra Branca, WOW!house 2025

And truly, if you are in London this June, it is a must-see. There is nothing quite like spending the afternoon wandering through Chelsea Harbour, moving room to room while mentally bookmarking fabrics, paint colors, lighting, and endless inspiration along the way. Frankly, it is the kind of event that leaves you wanting to redecorate your entire house and somehow relocate to London for the summer all at once. Tickets can be purchased here!

A Charming “Year-Round” Summer Home in Maine

When Laura Keeler Pierce‘s clients visited Rusticator, her home furnishings shop in Seal Harbor, Maine, they felt an immediate alignment with the designer’s aesthetic. They were completing the design of their summer residence in the neighboring town, a project that ultimately lead to a second collaboration: their adjacent guest house. Yet what began as a guest home gradually evolved into their primary summer residence, a place where they now spend time throughout the year, having grown increasingly attached to it through the design process.

Located on Mount Desert Island, the vision was rooted in honoring traditional design while embracing the richness of its natural surroundings. The goal was to take a classic approach to color and pattern, then introduce a contemporary layer through thoughtful lighting and furnishings, creating a home that feels collected, timeless, and fresh. Working with the architect, Keeler & Co. designed a home that balances entertaining and retreat: an open plan for hosting, paired with quieter moments for reflection and a chance to peer out onto the expansive field of lupine and the harbor beyond.

“It was equally important to the client to accommodate extended family, pets, and an active lifestyle,” said Laura. “This led us to incorporate livable, considered details. Examples include a tucked-away nook in the mudroom for their Jack Russell Terriers and classic elements such as cabinetry built into the eaves of the primary bedroom. This latter design choice nods to traditional Maine cottages, where every inch is charmingly put to use.”

The 3,000 square foot, newly constructed Maine cottage draws from the Shingle Style tradition, thoughtfully reinterpreted by architects SaltsmanBrenzel with a fresh, contemporary sensibility, while remaining true to the summer cottage roots of the town. The intention was for the home to feel deeply rooted in Maine, as though it had always belonged to the landscape. In collaboration with the architect, Keeler & Co. incorporated interior details and nuances that lend the home its character and the authenticity of an original Maine cottage.

“We appreciated the client’s desire to remain true to the traditional roots of Northeast Harbor while bringing a more contemporary, collected sensibility to the home,” said Laura. “The couple’s family has a long and meaningful history with the island, having historically spent summers there. Since completing the home, however, they’ve found equal joy in it through the winter months as well, becoming, in their own words, ‘year-round summer people,’ a sentiment that speaks to how seamlessly the home supports life across all seasons.”

In the kitchen, designed as the heart of the home for entertaining, classic cabinetry pairs with updated hurricane-style sconces by The Urban Electric Co., striking a balance between old and new. As part of an open-concept layout, the kitchen flows seamlessly into the living room, where a striking artwork, Pearlescent Waves by Gracie, serves as both a focal point and a discreet cover for the television.

This project is layered with custom touches that reflect the family’s lifestyle in a personal and thoughtful way. The tucked-away dog “condos” are outfitted with custom beds in a Lisa Fine textile.

On the first floor, the powder room offers a more playful moment, featuring a green, patterned wallpaper by Galbraith & Paul, complemented by crisp white sconces with charming, quilted glass and a marble vanity…a space that feels both fresh and timeless.

Upstairs, the second-floor bathroom plays with juxtaposition, pairing nostalgic café curtains with a richly glazed green tile, creating a space that feels both familiar and fresh. In the bedroom hallway, the laundry is discreetly integrated into the eaves and concealed behind a striped green curtain, blending function seamlessly into the design. The client also brought an exceptional eye to the project, curating the shelving throughout the home herself, which added a final, personal layer that makes the space feel truly complete.

“The client had been especially excited about a specific tile for the second-floor bathroom, but ongoing supply chain challenges made it difficult to source in time for installation,” Laura shared. “Through a combination of persistence and good fortune, the couple ultimately discovered the perfect green tile themselves, turning what could have been a setback into a meaningful, collaborative moment between the client and the design team.”

“Working with this family is a true pleasure,” said Laura. “They bring a strong sense of place, shaped by their long history on the island, along with a willingness to thoughtfully push the design. The result is a home that feels like an authentic and personal reflection of who they are.”

A Dallas Dollhouse, Mark D. Sikes for J.McLaughlin, and The Art of Antiquing in France by Sharon Santoni

Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at Dec My Room’s Dallas dollhouse, Mark D. Sikes for J.McLaughlin, and The Art of Antiquing in France by Sharon Santoni. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Dec My Room Dallas Dollhouse

There’s an old saying that “everything is bigger in Texas,” but a recent charity event benefiting Dec My Room, an organization that decorates the rooms of children undergoing long-term hospital stays, proved the Lone Star State knows how to decorate on any scale.  The annual “Room To Grow” luncheon, showcased miniature rooms designed by an impressive roster of Dallas designers, and a dollhouse custom-designed to look like the iconic Father of the Bride house.

We have written extensively about our affection for miniatures over the years here at The Glam Pad. There is simply something irresistible about them. Tiny pleated lampshades, perfectly skirted tables, little oil paintings, scaled down antiques… somehow everything becomes even more charming in miniature form. And for Dec my Room, each designer each brought their own aesthetic point of view into tiny, exquisitely detailed spaces.

What we especially love is that these rooms still feel deeply decorated and layered despite their scale. There are proper art collections, tailored upholstery, passementerie, and beautifully furnishings that somehow make us want to shrink ourselves down and move right in. They capture everything we love most about interiors: personality, storytelling, craftsmanship, and charm.

The miniature rooms and dollhouse were sold via auction last month to raise funds for Dec My Room. Whimsical, nostalgic, and genuinely beautiful, these tiny interiors may just be some of our favorite rooms we have seen all season. Please visit PaperCity Dallas to see more!

Mark D. Sikes for J.McLaughlin

Classic, polished, endlessly chic, and deeply rooted in timeless American style, we could not be more excited for Mark D. Sikes’ collaboration with J.McLaughlin’s Monogram line. The upcoming collection beautifully marries Mark’s instantly recognizable point of view with the effortless sophistication J.McLaughlin has long been known for.

What makes the collaboration feel especially meaningful, however, is the story behind it. Born out of a decades-long friendship between Mark and J.McLaughlin CEO Greg Unis, who worked together early on in their careers, the collection carries a sense of authenticity and warmth that feels refreshingly genuine.

Recently previewed in Dallas amongst a stylish crowd including Caitlin Wilson, Kimberly Whitman Schlegel, and others from the design world, the launch already feels poised to become a favorite amongst those who appreciate classic style with a fresh, optimistic spirit. In short, it is the sort of collaboration that feels both familiar and exciting in the very best way. And frankly, anything with Mark D. Sikes’ name attached immediately has our attention.

The Art of Antiquing in France by Sharon Santoni

There are few things we adore more than French antiques. A perfectly worn furniture, stacks of leather-bound books, a faded landscape painting discovered at a countryside brocante, or an oversized copper pot that somehow makes an entire kitchen feel infinitely more charming. The French simply understand that a home should feel collected, layered, and deeply personal rather than overly perfect.

Newly released, The Art of Antiquing in France by Sharon Santoni is a true love letter to that world and the sort of book we plan to keep close at hand for endless inspiration. After decades spent sourcing antiques throughout France, Santoni shares an insider’s guide to the art of collecting French pieces with soul and character, from floral transferware and quilted boutis to antique silver, paintings, mirrors, chandeliers, textiles, and garden ornamentation.

Filled with wonderfully atmospheric photography, The Art of Antiquing in France beautifully captures the romance of the hunt itself. Alongside practical advice on navigating flea markets, déballages, auctions, and fairs are recommendations for antique dealers throughout France and useful French phrases for antiquing abroad. Equal parts escapist fantasy and genuinely useful resource, it is the kind of book that will leave you dreaming of leisurely mornings spent wandering Provençal markets in search of the perfect gilded mirror or weathered ceramic vessel.

For anyone who believes the most beautiful homes are the ones filled with history, charm, and a touch of imperfection, this one is absolutely worth adding to your library.

In Case You Missed the Southeastern Designer Showhouse…

Written by Natalie Aldridge.

There is always something especially exciting about showhouse season. Each year, the design calendar fills with homes across the country, each with its own personality, charitable mission, and roster of designers eager to leave their mark. The 2026 Southeastern Designer Showhouse presented by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles closed this week, but we are revisiting some highlights today in case you missed it…

With rooms by designers including Suzanne Kasler, Isabel Ladd, Kim Mauney, Lauren Lowe, Alexandre Fleuren, and more, the house has range of perspectives while still feeling incredibly cohesive from room to room. While we admittedly tend to gravitate toward spaces with a bit more layering and exuberance, there is something deeply appealing about the restraint seen throughout this show house. Each space feels fresh, tailored, and beautiful.

Let’s take a look inside!

Elegant, fresh, and remarkably well restrained, it is the sort of house that allows craftsmanship and thoughtful decoration to speak for themselves. The newly built Chastain Park residence features modern architecture softened just a bit and refined through airy interiors, layered textures, and clean lines that feel incredibly fresh right now. It is polished without feeling formal, sophisticated without feeling untouchable, and filled with the sort of details that quietly reveal themselves the longer you look.

From the moment you enter, the home feels remarkably composed. Curved plaster walls temper the structure of the architecture, while herringbone floors, warm natural stone, tailored millwork, and layers of soft texture create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and deeply livable. The palette throughout is sophisticated, allowing proportion, materiality, and craftsmanship to take center stage.
