Dinah’s favorite spot on our ATV rides to and from the barn on our Virginia farm? In my lap, held snugly within the crook of my available left arm as we forge fallow fields and shallow streams on our way to the cutting and vegetable gardens. She sniffs the air savoring every new smell and keeps deft watch for unfamiliar critters on her land, oblivious to the lurching clutch and the bumpy course…not to mention the heedless speed of her lead footed driver. She trusts me completely. And oh, the places we’ve been and the sights that we’ve seen. I love her madly. #my #girl #dinah #beautiful #friend #wild #ride #happy #days #country #life #style #inspiration #puppy #love #photo #everyday #memories #farm #lifestyle #natural #beauty #terrier #time #photography #friends #forever #dogs #dogsofinstagram #photooftheday
Up the stone stairs to this new project today in the lush New York countryside. Four stories of fireplaces, bays, handblown glass and charm, charm, charm on rolling green acres! So excited to get this one on the way for longtime clients as we prepare to install another couple of seaside beauties very soon. Swipe left for a glimpse of the rear view and gardens! #new #project #photo #beautiful #house #lush #landscape #wonderful #friends #happy #me #interior #design #classic #beauty #architecture #home #decor #life #style #inspiration #photography #interiordesign #homedecor #luxury #lifestyle #excited #designer #photooftheday
…and what we created with this morning’s garden haul. Fresh arrangements of peonies for the living and family rooms, and mock orange blossoms for the breakfast room and bedside at Elway Hall. Have a beautiful week everyone. And don’t forget to stop and smell the flowers. 🌸 #country #life #style #inspiration #photo #beautiful #flowers #garden #love #interior #design #home #decor #nofilter #photography #interiordesign #colorful #homedecor #pretty #pink #flower #spring #sunday #designer #interiors #natural #beauty #happy #weekend #photooftheday
They’re back…and so are we! Back from the cutting garden this morning where the first of this year’s peonies have popped! The perfect flower for Mother’s Day, since it was my mother Carolyn’s favorite flower. And she loved the sweet fragrance of the mock orange, which is also in bloom. Happy Mother’s Day to all of the wonderful mothers everywhere, here with us now and forever in our hearts. We love you! 🌸🌸🌸 #happy #mothersday #beautiful #pink #peony #pretty #spring #flowers #photo #mother #love #flower #power #color #interior #design #home #decor #family #memories #life #style #inspiration #photography #weekend #country #lifestyle #interiordesign #homedecor #photooftheday
We might argue that there’s no wrong side of the bed to get up on here in our “Brown Bedroom” at Elway Hall. Beautifully “flowered” by the ladies of the @gardenclubofvirginia for this year’s historic home tour, the colorful boughs and blossoms stand in colorful contrast to the dark, chocolatey tones of our cork wallcovering for @vervainfabrics . Swipe far left to see fringed, chinoiserie branches artfully arranged within a centuries old Chinese vase we acquired while working on an incredible project in Beijing. 🎎 #handsome #bedroom #fresh #spring #flowers #natural #beauty #historic #garden #house #tour #photo #interior #design #flower #power #beautiful #flowers #designer #home #decor #life #style #inspiration #interiordesign #love #homedecor #luxury #lifestyle #interiors #photoftheday
A quick project site visit yesterday to check progress on cabinetry, lighting and wallcovering.

Peonies, azalea, and lush viburnum in our primary bedroom at Elway Hall. Arranged by my lovely friends from the Fauquier County arm of the @gardenclubofvirginia for last week’s @historicgardenweek tour, this was one of dozens of beautiful floral arrangements of fresh cut flowers that greeted visitors touring our home last week. All for such a wonderful cause which we wholeheartedly support. Our thanks to all who joined us Wednesday! 🌿
A wonderful memory…one week ago tonight. The most beautiful table was set by our friends at @collectedbyschwung to celebrate @jeffreymarksinc ‘s fab new book “This is Home”. The food, wine, conversations and camaraderie were a highlight of Spring Market 2025. A heartfelt thank you to our delightful hosts Dominique and Rudi. Cheers to beauty! 🥂#beautiful #event #magical #table #delicious #evening #photo #food #wine #cocktails #interiordesign #love #designer #friends #happy #smiles #lovely #flowers #perfect #dinner #party #photography #interior #design #memories #photooftheday
