Nantucket by Design, Tillett Textiles Latest Collection, and Newport Design Week

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 Nantucket by Design, Tillett Textiles Latest Collection, and Newport Design Week. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Nantucket by Design

If you needed another excuse to escape to Nantucket this summer, consider this your sign! Nantucket by Design returns this weekend, July 13 through 16, bringing some of the design world’s most beloved names together for four days of interiors, architecture, gardens, craftsmanship, and lots of fun.

Hosted by the Nantucket Historical Association, this year’s event marks the tenth anniversary of Nantucket by Design, and the lineup is a good one. Alexa Hampton and Corey Damen Jenkins will sit down for a “Design Duet,” David Netto joins Sarah Wetenhall for a conversation on breathing new life into the historic Hedges Inn, and Fernando Wong will share a peek at his plans to restore the gardens of Nantucket’s Hadwen House.

The festivities culminate with a Design Luncheon with Cordelia de Castellane and Tom Scheerer, moderated by Veranda Editor-in-Chief Steele Marcoux, followed by a first look at The Nantucket Show. With this year’s theme being “Etched in Time,” we know it is bound to be wonderful. And who does not like few days on Nantucket surrounded by beautiful houses and brilliant design minds? More information about the weekend can be found here!

Tillett Textiles Latest Collection

Speaking of Nantucket, Schumacher has just dipped into the archives with a beautiful new collection from Tillett Textiles, and we are completely charmed!

Founded by the husband-and-wife duo Leslie and D.D. Tillett in the 1940s, Tillett Textiles became known for its hand-screened fabrics and imaginative approach to pattern, finding fans in Bunny Mellon, Jackie Kennedy, Sister Parish, and Albert Hadley. Quite the fan club!

During the 1960s, the pair traveled to Nantucket, where they were commissioned to create designs celebrating the island’s beauty, craft, and artistry. Now, more than sixty years later, those wonderfully playful, painterly patterns are feeling as fresh as ever.

Based on the Tilletts’ original hand-painted artwork, the new nautical-inspired fabrics and wallpapers are printed by hand in the United States using the same meticulous techniques that made the textile house so beloved. And what better place to celebrate than Nantucket. During Nantucket by Design, Schumacher will toast the collection with a beach party inspired by the very island that started it all. We are ready to cover a seaside cottage in every last pattern.

Newport Design Week

On the subject of design events, just off the heels of Nantucket by Design comes the crème de la crème of them all: Newport Design Week! One of our favorite events on the design circuit, the three-day celebration brings together some of the industry’s greatest minds for a program rooted in architecture, history, and historic preservation.

This year’s theme, “250 Years of Cross-Currents in American Design,” explores the global influences that have shaped American interiors from the Colonial era to today. Expect a packed lineup of lectures, conversations, book signings, and lively celebrations, all unfolding against the rather spectacular backdrop of Newport and it’s incredible historic homes.

Ochre Court

The festivities kick off at the Newport Art Museum before moving to the magnificent Ochre Court, with a summer soirée at Rough Point thrown in for good measure. Clear your calendars and dust off your Newport summer best! More information and tickets can be found here.

A 1920s Alabama Beauty by Jenny Holladay

Interior designer Jenny Holladay has built her career on beauty. After graduating with a degree in Art History from the University of Virginia, she worked as a talent agent for Ford Models Inc. in San Francisco and Chicago. Five years later, she decided to pursue her long-standing interest in interior design which led her to join Summer Thornton Design, and eventually move back home to Richmond to open her eponymous firm, Jenny Holladay Design.

We first fell in love with Jenny’s work when her exquisite Chicago townhouse was featured by FREDERIC magazine, and we are delighted to share highlights today from a beautiful project she and her team completed in Mobile, Alabama. Styling by Julialake Graham; Photography by Laura Rowe.

This Greek Revival home, built in 1923, is located in the historic Ashland Place neighborhood. The project began with a leaking shower that came through the kitchen ceiling, so the couple decided it was time to update the bedroom suites and the kitchen. An active family of five, they wanted their home to be more tailored and a reflection of their tastes.

They love wallpaper, so Jenny and her team used it in a variety of ways—on walls, ceilings, and borders—to add a layer of softness and detail. “Their ceilings are over 10 feet throughout, so the wallpaper really helped cozy up the spaces,” she said.

“The tween girl was very specific! She wanted a pink room with Hydrangeas, so we used Cowtan & Tout’s Chantilly in pink & green for her drapery. It was perfect! We also built a new closet wall for her that utilized the space much better and looks beautiful, especially with the fabric cabinet fronts,” said Jenny.

Jenny and her team tore out the entire bathroom so that she could have an updated private bathroom that is sweet but will age with her.

“It’s perfect, and has tons more storage!” she said.


The primary bedroom is quite large, so Jenny and her team installed a beautiful grasscloth to add texture. They brought in pattern with the Alice Sergeant Andalus drapery fabric which they matched on the bed as well.

“The client immediately fell in love with that Alice Sergeant fabric, so we knew it needed to be the star of the show!” Jenny explained.



A beautiful and timeless home with exquisite attention to detail… We adore every single inch!

Jenny Holladay has been featured in House Beautiful, Frederic, Vogue, Galerie, RHome, and The Glam Pad, including both her independent designs and collaborations with Summer Thornton Design. For additional information, please visit Jenny Holladay Design and follow @jennyholladaydesign on Instagram for ongoing inspiration.

And stay tuned as we look forward to featuring more of her work!

Jean Harlow’s Home for Sale, LoveShackFancy x Target, and Jenny Walton’s Jenny Sais Quoi

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 Jean Harlow’s Estate Hits the Market, LoveShackFancy x Target, and Jenny Walton’s Jenny Sais Quoi. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Jean Harlow’s Estate Hits the Market

If these walls could talk! Old Hollywood has always had a way of capturing our imagination, and few stars embody its enduring glamour quite like Jean Harlow. Listed by David Kramer, the icon’s legendary Holmby Hills estate has just hit the market for $16.8 million, giving us a rare opportunity to step inside one of Hollywood’s most storied residences. Built in 1932, the stately Colonial Revival home remains a beautiful time capsule of the Golden Age, quietly tucked behind a canopy of nearly century-old magnolia trees.

While the estate has been updated over the years, many of its original details remain intact. Marble fireplaces, elegant boiserie paneling, crown moldings, and arched built-in bookcases preserve the home’s original character. There is even a hidden Prohibition-era bar concealed behind a library bookcase, giving us a delightful glimpse into Hollywood’s glamorous past. Outside, the sprawling grounds feature a pool with its original diving board, koi ponds, waterfalls, a tennis court, and two greenhouses, all lending the property the romantic grandeur of another era.

At The Glam Pad, we’ll never tire of homes that tell a story, especially those steeped in the magic of Old Hollywood. This is far more than a beautiful house. It’s a remarkably preserved piece of cinematic history that still whispers of glittering dinner parties, silver screen legends, and the effortless elegance that continues to define Hollywood’s Golden Age.

Jenny Walton’s Jenny Sais Quoi

Jenny Walton, renowned New York illustrator, fashion influencer and style icon, is a constant source of inspiration with her impeccable style, retro-inspired charm, whimsical wit, and endless creativity. So naturally, Jenny Sais Quoi: Adventures in Vintage & Personal Style, published by Monacelli, was one of our most anticipated book releases of the year. We are delighted to report that it is every bit as charming, clever, and wonderfully unexpected as Jenny herself.

Part memoir, part style guide, and part visual diary, the book offers a colorful peek inside Jenny’s imagination. Thoughtful personal essays, humorous stories, and poetic musings are interwoven with more than 150 of her own illustrations, paintings, and photographs, exploring everything from the value of vintage to finding one’s own authentic sense of style.

The book itself is every bit as creative as its author. Playful surprises are tucked throughout, including an artist’s palette-shaped die-cut, a miniature journal filled with sketches and musings, and split pages that allow readers to mix and match illustrated outfits. It is the sort of book to pore over, revisit, and leave permanently within arm’s reach.

Jenny Sais Quoi: Adventures in Vintage & Personal Style
Jenny Sais Quoi: Adventures in Vintage & Personal Style

What we have always loved most about Jenny is her refusal to take fashion, or herself, too seriously. It has been such fun following her journey over the years, from New York to Milan and now California with her fiancé, watching her style and creative world evolve along the way. Through it all, her world has remained elegant but playful, beautiful but never precious, and always guided by curiosity and a delight in the unexpected. Jenny Sais Quoi captures that spirit perfectly. If you, like us, believe life is infinitely more interesting with a little wit, whimsy, and vintage thrown in, consider this essential reading. Don’t forget to pick up a copy here!

LoveShackFancy x Target

There are few brands today that have so successfully carved out a world of their own as LoveShackFancy. Since its debut in 2013, Rebecca Hessel Cohen‘s unabashedly romantic aesthetic of faded florals, ribbons, ruffles, and vintage-inspired femininity has become instantly recognizable. Now, the brand is bringing its unmistakably girlish universe back to Target with its largest collaboration to date, infusing the everyday with a healthy dose of charm. With over 200 pieces, most under $25, LoveShackFancy x Target is perfectly timed for back to school.

Launching July 5, the collection features more than 200 pieces spanning women’s, girls’, and baby apparel, accessories, beauty, stationery, home décor, and more. True to form, nearly every piece is adorned with the brand’s signature prints and pastel palette. It’s a thoughtful expansion of the original collaboration, offering plenty of opportunities to bring a little LoveShackFancy magic into everyday life without the designer price tag.

Officially, the collection is designed with back-to-school season in mind, but we’d argue many of the best pieces transcend the classroom. Floral notebooks, bow-adorned hair accessories, charming cosmetic cases, and cheerful desk accessories feel just as fitting for brightening a home office as a school backpack. If past LoveShackFancy launches are any indication, the prettiest pieces won’t linger for long, so consider this your gentle reminder to set an alarm! The collaboration is available in stores starting July 5 and online starting July 5 at 5am CDT.

The Kips Bay Decorator Show House 2026, Summerill & Bishop x Blackberry Farm, and The Glam Pad’s Substack Debut

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 Kips Bay Decorator Show House 2026, Summerill & Bishop x Blackberry Farm, and The Glam Pad’s debut on Substack. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

The Kips Bay Decorator Show House 2026

One of the design world’s most anticipated annual traditions has officially revealed its next address. The Kips Bay Decorator Show House will return to Greenwich Village this fall for its 2026 New York edition. The celebrated fundraiser will transform the historic townhouse at 80 W. Washington Place into an extraordinary showcase of design talent when it opens to the public on September 16th.

Built in 1839 by William W. Berwick, the stately Georgian red-brick residence spans nearly 8,700 square feet across six levels and has a fascinating history. Once home to celebrated composer John Philip Sousa, the meticulously restored townhouse will provide this year’s designers with an exceptional architectural canvas. Original period details will be joined by dramatic contemporary amenities, including multiple landscaped terraces, a double-height great room, and a rooftop overlooking Washington Square Park.

Since its founding in 1973, the Kips Bay Decorator Show House has become far more than a showcase of beautiful interiors. The annual fundraiser has launched countless careers, spotlighted many of the industry’s most celebrated talents, and raised more than $33 million in support of the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club. Each year, the announcement of the house gives the first glimpse of what is sure to become one of the season’s most talked-about design events, and we cannot wait to see how this remarkable Greenwich Village townhouse is transformed. Stay tuned!

Summerill & Bishop x Blackberry Farm

There are few pairings more fitting than Summerill & Bishop and Blackberry Farm, two brands united by a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, hospitality, and the beauty found in everyday. Their new collaboration, a collection of table linens inspired by Blackberry Farm’s gardens, history, and traditions, celebrates the art of gathering around the table, something we so often celebrate at The Glam Pad.

Created after Summerill & Bishop founder Seb Bishop spent time on the Tennessee property with his longtime friend Mary Celeste Beall, the collection tells the story of the farm through two thoughtfully designed patterns. One design pairs delicate lenten roses, among Mary Celeste’s favorite flowers, with pea pods inspired by Andy Saftel’s painting Sam’s Time, a tribute to the late Sam Beall and the couple’s five children. The second pattern is a fresh interpretation of the well-worn denim seen throughout the gardens, particularly John Coykendall’s iconic overalls, softened with graceful hydrangea blooms.

Equal parts rustic and refined, the collection captures an elegance for which both Summerill & Bishop and Blackberry Farm are known. We just adore this collection and hope you do as well! Shop here.

Mr. Bingley’s “Pride & Prejudice” Estate For Sale

The English estate, featured as Netherfield Park in the BBC’s 1995 adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, has come to the open market for the first time in a century. Built between 1748 and 1754, Edgcote House is an architecturally and historically important 25,900 square-foot Grade I Georgian manor nestled amongst 1,704 lush acres in Northamptonshire on the Oxfordshire border.

Edgcote Estate features historic gardens and parkland with influence attributed to Capability Brown, commercial arable farm, renowned equestrian facilities, private racecourse, productive woodland, and an additional 31 cottages, houses, and apartments spread across the estate for guests and staff, poised for significant sporting potential and income generation.

Edgcote’s history includes ties to the Norman Conquest, the War of the Roses, and Anne of Cleves. And of course, in the BBC miniseries, it is portrayed as Mr. Bingley’s estate where Mr. Darcy fell in love with Elizabeth Bennet.

Edgcote Estate is priced at £45 million for the whole.

Photography and listing details courtesy of Savills.

Edgcote House and Gardens

Grade 1 listed Edgcote House is regarded as one of Northamptonshire’s finest country houses. It is an exemplar of Georgian architecture designed according to the classical principles of symmetry, balance and proportion. Of particular note is the condition of the stonework which has weathered very little in comparison to similar aged houses – a reflection perhaps of both the quality of the building work and the quality of the stone used in its construction between 1748 and 1754. Testament to its Georgian authenticity Edgcote House featured in the BBC’s 1995 production of “Pride and Prejudice”.

The house extends to approximately 25,908 square foot over four principal floors and is arranged around a grand entrance hall and exceptional suite of reception rooms. There are many wonderful features throughout including ornate cornicing and plasterwork, hand-decorated wallpaper, intricately carved fireplaces, and wood panelling. The open-well mahogany ‘great stair’ hall is a showpiece of the house, adorned with rich panelling and decorative wall mouldings designed for the display of artworks.

East facing rooms enjoy far reaching views across the lawn to Edgcote Pool and rolling parkland, which was shaped during the height of the English landscape movement. All the features associated with a house of this importance remain including formal gardens, pleasure grounds, a kitchen garden, greenhouses and a stable courtyard.

Estate History

The Edgcote Estate has a documented history stretching back almost 1,000 years. Granted to Geoffrey of Mowbray following the Norman Conquest, the manor later passed to Isabel de Bruce, grandmother of Robert the Bruce, before returning to the Crown in the early 14th century. The estate gained national significance as the site of the Battle of Edgcote in 1469, a decisive conflict during the Wars of the Roses. In the 16th century it passed briefly to Sir Thomas Cromwell and later to Anne of Cleves as part of her divorce settlement from Henry VIII. From 1546, Edgcote was held for around 270 years by the Chauncy family, culminating in the major 18th‑century rebuilding of the house and estate. In 1926 Raymond Courage acquired the estate and with his son Edward, went on to establish Edgcote as an important horse racing establishment. In June 2005, the estate, was acquired by the late David Allen, who continued its careful conservation and management doing much to revitalise the land, buildings and communities that live and work at Edgcote.

Residential

In addition to Edgcote House, the estate includes a diverse and attractive residential portfolio of 31 houses, cottages and flats. Principal among these is The Old Rectory, a charming early 18th century stone house set within mature gardens close to the church. The historic stable courtyard designed by William Smith of Warwick now includes a collection of cottages and flats within its eastern section, arranged around one of the most architecturally striking stable complexes of the period. Other notable residences include Mill House beside the River Cherwell, Brock House and Keeper’s Cottage within the former walled gardens, and a traditional gate lodge at the entrance to the carriage drive.



Farming

Most of the farmland is within a well-equipped, ring fenced arable farming operation extending to approximately 1,149 acres. Predominantly Grade 3 the land is farmed in‑hand from Lodge Farm, the operational hub of the agricultural enterprise. Cropping follows a traditional rotation including winter wheat, winter barley, oilseed rape and spring beans. More recently the rotation has incorporated options under Mid-Tier Countryside Stewardship and Sustainable Farming Incentive Schemes. The 102 acres of pasture and grassland are predominantly let on grazing licences.

The farm benefits from a comprehensive range of modern buildings including grain drying, cleaning and storage facilities, a high capacity continuous flow drier, silos, weighbridge, machinery stores and dedicated farm and estate offices.

Equestrian

Edgcote Estate has a long established racing heritage centred on Edgcote racecourse, which was refurbished in 2018. Also, the estate has two professional racing yards, and all the facilities required to support these training centres including gallops, paddocks, and schooling arenas.


Woodland and Sporting

The estate includes significant areas of mixed broadleaved woodland, extending to approximately 115 acres. Species include oak, hornbeam, lime, sweet chestnut and maple, with selective conifer planting. Historically managed for amenity and sport, the woodland offers potential for shooting, stalking and biodiversity enhancement, supported by an active woodland management and parkland restoration programme.



Crispin Holborow, Savills Private Office comments, “The Edgcote Estate represents an exceptional example of a traditional English country estate. Both the house and its setting have evolved gently over centuries, preserving the integrity and character of this classically Georgian property. Today, the estate offers all the key elements associated with an asset of this calibre, combining a mix of residential and agricultural holdings along with diversified income streams from respected racing yards. In addition, the potential to reinstate a shoot further enhances its appeal, particularly when considered alongside the estate’s prime central location.”

The Art of Gathering, Frederic’s It List, and Hill House Home x Williams Sonoma

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 Summerill & Bishop and Wentworth Celebrate the Art of Gathering, Frederic’s It List, and Hill House Home x Williams Sonoma. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Summerill & Bishop and Wentworth Celebrate the Art of Gathering

There are few things we love more than a beautifully set table, particularly one set beneath the open sky. That sentiment was on full celebration in Charleston, where luxury British table linen house Summerill & Bishop partnered with local home and lifestyle brand Wentworth for an immersive installation, perfect for summertime.

Summerill & Bishop and Wentworth

Developed by Wentworth founder G. Blake Sams and staged throughout a private residence and its surrounding gardens, the experience invited guests to wander between lushly layered tablescapes, floral-filled vignettes, and enchanting outdoor settings, transforming the property into a living expression of Summerill & Bishop’s joyful approach to outdoor entertaining.

At the heart of the installation was Summerill & Bishop’s beloved collection of linens and entertaining pieces, displayed exactly as they were intended to be enjoyed. Vibrant patterns, stunning florals, and thoughtfully styled tables created a beautiful moment that blurred the line between home, garden, and art while celebrating the importance of gathering together.

As daylight faded, the festivities transitioned into an intimate dinner hosted by Blake Sams and the Summerill & Bishop team. In an era of rushed meals and endless distractions, there is something refreshing about a brand choosing to celebrate the ritual of gathering. If this installation proved anything, it is that a beautifully set table remains one of life’s simplest yet most meaningful expressions of friendship.

Frederic’s It List

Few honors within the design world have become as closely watched as Frederic’s annual It List. Now in its fourth year, the list has quickly established itself as one of the industry’s most influential meters of rising talent.

A post shared by Norris Studio (@norris.studio)

This week, Editor in Chief Dara Caponigro announced the Class of 2026, recognizing eleven designers from across the globe, including London, Amsterdam, Stockholm, New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Tennessee. This year’s honorees are Claes Dalén, Danielette Dennis, Samantha Feuer of Norris Studio, Todd Hellmuth, Frances Jackson, Michael Joerres, Brian Jones, Brooke Michie, Georgie Stogdon, Alex Yanke of Westbourne Studio, and Bob van Zonneveld.

What makes the It List particularly noteworthy is the eye behind it. Long before launching Frederic, Dara built a reputation as one of design media’s great talent spotters through her leadership roles at Veranda, Domino, Elle Décor, and House Beautiful. Her endorsement carries weight, and increasingly, so does inclusion on the It List. The list also comes out at the five year anniversary of Frederic magazine making this an exciting moment for the publication.

A post shared by FREDERIC (@fredericmagazine)

For designers at the beginning of their careers, recognition can be transformative. The It List has become more than an annual award. It is a glimpse into the future of interior design and a reminder that today’s emerging talents are often tomorrow’s household names.

Hill House Home x Williams Sonoma

At this point, it may be easier to ask where Hill House Home isn’t. Fresh off its charming collaboration with Roller Rabbit, Nell Diamond’s lifestyle phenomenon has now arrived at the table with a delightful new collection for Williams Sonoma.

Hillhouse Home x Williams Sonoma

The collection brings Hill House’s signature romantic Americana look to outdoor entertaining, complete with garden-inspired dinnerware, striped linens, playful vegetable motifs, and pieces that feel destined for long lunches and summer suppers. Think cabbages, carrots, tomatoes, and cheerful stripes rendered in the brand’s distinctly polished yet whimsical style.

For those who only know Hill House through its wildly popular Nap Dress, the collaboration serves as a reminder that the company actually began as a home brand before expanding into fashion. In many ways, this latest venture feels like a return to its roots, bringing the same sense of nostalgia, femininity, and everyday beauty that made the brand a favorite in the first place.

There seems to be a renewed appreciation for the art of entertaining, and we are here for it. Following on the heels of Summerill & Bishop’s dreamy Charleston celebration of outdoor dining, this collaboration is another reminder that some of life’s greatest pleasures are found around the table. After all, if there’s one thing Hill House understands, it’s how to make even the simplest of moments feel a little more special. Shop the full collection here!

A Romantic Coastal Massachusetts Wedding

The Glam Pad is known for being unapologetically romantic when it comes to beautiful homes, meaningful traditions, and celebrations filled with thoughtful details. So when our former intern, Jackie Lappin, shared photographs from her sister Tori’s wedding, we were instantly smitten. Jackie is now an interior designer with Dunbar Road, and it is clear to see that exquisite taste runs in her family.

Set at the bride’s childhood home in Beverly, Massachusetts, the celebration was everything we love: a charming love story, an Oscar de la Renta gown worthy of a New England summer, and a coastal palette that felt perfectly at home against a backdrop of sea and sky. Naturally, we wanted to learn more.

The starry-eyed tale of Tori and Mark Hoeman unfolded much like the pages of a classic romance novel. When asked how the couple first met, Jackie shared the story behind their meant-to-be meeting:

“Tori and Mark’s story began in 2016 with a chance encounter in an elevator during a summer study abroad program in London. Exhausted after a red-eye flight across the pond, Tori and her best friend Gigi were heading outside for some fresh air, only to walk into an elevator full of rowdy Midwestern gentlemen. One of them (Mark), who was wearing the brightest, non-Euro Lilly Pulitzer pants they had ever seen, greeted them with a ‘what’s up pretty ladies?’ before extending an invitation to go dancing that night.

While Tori politely declined, she later found herself in the same class as the group from the elevator, and they all became fast friends throughout the summer. The summer concluded with Tori returning to Boston and Mark to Kansas, but the two kept in touch throughout their remaining college years.

Fast forward to 2019 — Tori and Mark were still on each other’s minds, wondering if that might mean they were destined to be more than friends. They gradually started talking more frequently. Texting turned into phone calls, phone calls turned into FaceTimes, and FaceTimes turned into Tori inviting Mark to join her on a family trip to Martha’s Vineyard on a complete whim.

Fortunately, Mark accepted, and it didn’t take long for the handsome, well-mannered guy, who charmingly showed up to the beach wearing a blazer, to win over our entire family. The two started dating soon after, and the rest is history.

In the summer of 2024, Mark and Tori decided to make it official, selecting the bride’s childhood home as the backdrop for their wedding weekend. Having spent much of the COVID-19 pandemic there together, the setting felt deeply personal and perfectly suited to the beginning of this next chapter.

When asked whether Tori had always envisioned a particular wedding dress, Jackie explained:

“Admittedly, Tori arrived at her first dress fitting with no vision, but the moment she saw the one, everything clicked. The Oscar de la Renta gown felt like New England summer brought to life, with embroidered hydrangeas, leaves, butterflies, and bumblebees woven into its lace, and airy layers that let the sunlight filter through in a way that felt magical. Tori bought it on the spot and canceled all five of her other appointments without hesitation.”

The choice could not have been more fitting for the celebration. The romantic embroidery beautifully echoed the coastal setting, while subtle shades of blue tied effortlessly into the wedding paper and overall design scheme, creating a sense of harmony throughout the day.

Unsurprisingly, the color palette drew inspiration directly from the surrounding landscape. Shades of blue, green, and sandy neutrals reflected the ocean, lush grounds, and natural beauty of the Massachusetts coastline. “Working with the planning team at Sinclair & Moore, the couple set out to create a palette that honored the natural beauty of the setting: abundant, organic, and effortless. They didn’t want anything overly orchestrated or loud, but rather colors that flowed seamlessly with the landscape.”

Of course, no wedding is complete without cake, and according to Jackie, selecting the flavors “quickly became a family affair,” with Tori and Mark’s loved ones joining in to sample nearly every flavor from Soul Cake. Red velvet emerged as the clear favorite, and the cake’s design echoed the wedding’s aesthetic – a simple, clean white tiered cake adorned with fresh florals for a natural pop of color.

The invitation suite proved equally thoughtful. From curating the guest list to refining every printed detail, the process was approached with tremendous care. In the end, approximately 215 guests gathered to celebrate the couple.

“Plume Calligraphy partnered with our planning team to create invitations and day-of paper goods that were refined yet rich in detail. At first glance, the suite appears simple and elegant, but upon closer look, layers of intentional design reveal themselves: a custom VM monogram shaped like a wave, a subtle nautical stripe woven into the Welcome Party insert, carefully curated vintage stamps, and a watercolor envelope liner depicting the local coastline. Together, the details set the tone for the weekend perfectly.”

From the picturesque coastal setting to the thoughtful details woven throughout the celebration, every element felt distinctly personal and beautifully considered. Mark and Tori’s wedding was a heartfelt tribute to family, place, and a love story years in the making, and exactly the sort of celebration we never tire of admiring.

From storybook romance and a dream wedding, this week is actually the anniversary of the happy couple. We wish them a lifetime of joy!

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.

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.
