According to Bauble Stocking’s […]
a few updates to our home
A couple fun updates 1. I bought the Kennedy console from Z Gallerie earlier in the year. I replaced a console I had for the last 7 years from World Market, and sold it on Facebook marketplace. I love the modern take on Ming style with this console table. It’s a great size, and could […]
Reading nook
Johns reading nook A few months ago there were built in bookshelves where the wall is in this photo. It went over the windows, blocked light, and just didn’t look great to us. They were not original to the house- so I didn’t feel so poorly having them taken out. It was like Christmas morning […]

Maileg Mice make the best kids gift
LOVE MAILEG MICE It all started in February of 2020 when Wes wanted an actual mouse. Thankfully we settled on a maileg mouse. We had just bought a fish, and there was no way I would voluntarily let a mouse in my house. Since then, we have added to their collection. Surf mice after surf […]

SAIl to Sable x Palm Beach Lately at the Colony in Palm Beach I’m always amazed by Beth and Danielle, the sisters behind Palm Beach Lately.

Bedroom Refresh
A LITTLE BEDROOM REFRESH In 2022 right before we had Southern Living come to the house, in a rush I had our bedroom painted while we were skiing in Big Sky. We pretty much got home from that trip, and a few days later we were shooting with the SL team. It was a whirlwind! […]
Browns and Olives for fall
Bring on the browns I love when a table comes together. Molly and I picked up these olive trees at Trader Joe’s and from there this table took shape. To spruce up potted plants, we like to cover the dirt with preserved moss. A little moss goes a long way in making an $8 plant shine in […]

A fresh fern centerpiece
This fresh fern summer centerpiece from from our latest tablescape makes me happy! We were trying to keep it tropical and beachy – and let the dogwood hill menu/placecards take the lead on where this table was going to go. Next time you don’t want to use fresh flowers, look around your yard. We […]
