The Art of the Entry: Classic White

Recreate the Look of this Classic Birmingham Home

Shop the Entry

What We Love: I love the classic entry -- black doors, white shutters and planted boxwoods. The eyes are drawn to the symmetry of the house which makes it visually appealing. I also love the white on white look (white house/white shutters). Recreate The Look:  Gas Lanterns. Ever since living in Charleston, I LOVE the look of gas lanterns. You can find similar lanterns that flank this door in the Carolina Lantern collection by Carolina Lanterns. Try the Madison or Aspen Lanterns. Potted Boxwoods. I love these aged Terra Cotta planters from One Kings Lane. The antique finish gives them a vintage feel. If you're looking for the exact planters shown, try these traditional terra cotta ones by Hayneedle. House Numbers. Opt for brass house numbers from House of Antique Hardware. I'm going to order the same…

My Favorite Rosé Wines to Drink All Summer

My Top Seven Rosé Wines

Draper James

With the warmer temps, you can be sure that I always have one drink on hand for our guests -- a rosé, also known as the Hampton's Gatorade. There's a reason why #YesWayRosé and #RoséAllDay are always trending on social media, especially during the summer months. Today, I'm sharing my top seven rosé wines that I love to enjoy all summer long. Summer Water. I have to admit, I love the name of this wine and the branding behind it. I also love the crisp taste of the rosé. The Market at Sea Island sells this wine -- which is how I originally discovered it. Expect a dry, light wine with notes of grapefruit, white peaches and strawberries. Hogwash Rosé. On our recent trip to Napa, we met the owner of Hogwash Rosé, an Atlanta native, Boo Beckstoffer.…

Bedding Basics

Essentials for Your Guest Bedroom

Garnet Hill Bedroom

I have always preferred white bedding and love how it adds a luxurious feel to any bedroom. If you haven't already invested in a good quality white duvet, I would encourage you to consider one next time you redo your room. As much as I love the brightness of a white duvet, one of my favorite aspects of using white as a base is that you can easily add color and texture without having to change all the bedding. It allows you to incorporate seasonal colors and styles without breaking the bank. I recently wanted to bring one of our guest rooms to life by incorporating not only a little color, but also some pattern and texture. I turned to Garnett Hill, where I frequently find accessories and other items for our home. I love…

Recently, Kelli and I were in New York, a place I always love to visit. Coming from St. Simons Island, I really appreciate a couple of days to take in the fast paced city. While there we had the best time! And just in case you missed it, I created a mini-restaurant guide to share with you all of my favorite dining spots around the city. When I was getting ready for my trip, I was looking for outfits that would be comfortable for walking (all I do is walk when I'm in the city), yet stylish enough to make an impression. I opted for these blush Tibi pants that I actually wore when I presented at the Southern C Summit. The wide leg cut is super comfortable, but the waist tie detail makes them look really polished. I paired them…
