I posted this historic house from 1845 in Essex, Connecticut designed by the lovely design duo Olasky and Sinsteden a few weeks ago. The home is featured in the November/December 2019 issue of New England Home but the photos online were a little small. Photographer Read McKendree and Max Sinsteden were very generous in sending me larger images to swap […]

This holiday season is mostly in full swing in New York but the late Thanksgiving has pushed some things back. The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree was just lit yesterday and the Park Avenue Tree Lighting is scheduled for Sunday night. The Bergdorf Goodman “Good Times” holiday windows have been for a week. I don’t think […]

I was supposed to decorate my apartment for Christmas on Sunday but my gift guide took so long to put together that I didn’t have time. Seeing everyone’s houses decorated on Instagram is giving me major fomo now and none more so than Fairgreen Farm which is the home of Amanda Brooks. It’s just been […]

There aren’t that many holiday decorated houses published in magazines so I get very excited when I find one.
