Heather's Vintage Granny Chic
House Tour

Name: Heather Spriggs Thompson
Location: Nashville, TN
Size: 2100 sq. ft.
Years Lived In: 3 months in this house (although I have lived in Nashville for 11 years)

The vintage stylings of Heather Spriggs Thompson feel like a beautiful echo heard around the internet. She has set the bar high in the mainstream media, when it comes to making vintage pieces not only feel beautiful, but modern and comforting. Although she's only recently moved into her current home, it's already filled with picture-perfect places where you can easily see yourself...

Corey's Converted Barn
House Tour

Name: Corey James Gash
Location: Costa Mesa, California
Size: 700 square feet, plus 220 square feet
Years lived in: 8 months

Corey's the kind of guy that can figure out how to do almost anything. Not only does he love to figure out creative ways to solve problems, but he's really good at it. Case in point, he turned a dilapidated barn into a modern home almost completely on his own using skills he already had plus a little help from Google. And did we mention he only spent $3,600 on the whole renovation and was able to do it green?

Acido Dorado
Weekend Getaway

Name: Acido Dorado
Location: Joshua Tree, California
Size: 1,350 square feet

About a year ago, we were contacted by architect Robert Stone about a project he had just completed out in Joshua Tree, an unique ebony washed pavilion specifically designed as a vacation destination with a "new desert aesthetic". He called it Rosa Muerta. But we just remember it as possibly the most unique place we've ever stayed in. During that short stay we noted hundreds of feet away Robert was busy working on another structure, a yin to Rosa Muerta's yang. Last weekend Robert invited us to be the first guest occupants of the recently completed Acido Dorado, a golden desert getaway...

The Grand Dining Rooms of the Newport Mansions
Newport, Rhode Island

Entertaining at Newport’s turn-of-the-century seaside “cottages” (read: “humongous mansions”) was clearly not a casual affair. But after last year’s austere holiday party season, we must admit that we find the over-the-top opulence of these dining rooms kind of appealing, even if there aren’t exactly any formal banquets looming in our future.

How To Tell Drinks Apart at a Party

When Werblers get together on the holidays, a cluster of scotch glasses is left behind on every horizontal surface. It can be hard to tell which drink belongs to which relative, especially as ice melts and fill levels morph when no one is looking. Thankfully, there are simple ways (beyond the old red lipstick trick) to differentiate between germs.
