There are only two things in this world of which I will never tire. One, cute animals. And two, vignettes. It’s true, nothing snaps me out of a bad mood faster than a cleverly styled tabletop or an otter eating lettuce on Youtube. Vignettes I love because they can be pulled together in minutes. I love them because everyday things – a branch from the yard, a child’s toy, a vintage teacup – always make them more interesting. I love them because they have personality. I love them because they’re artistic and inspirational. I love them because they make me happy … even sans otter.

A favorite vignette from my LA trip this spring.

Best tableau ever by A. Shaw Antiques at Highpoint.

I love Thanksgiving. It's a time for entertaining, celebrating and opening our homes to family and friends.

We all want our interiors to be at their best during the holidays. For me it's about creating an environment

that is beautiful, relaxed and welcoming for guests – whether it's in my own home or one of my client's.

Below are my iphone shots from a Huntley & Co. photoshoot this past Friday in Virginia. I am in love with

these images right now; they convey everything I love about decorating and setting a scene. Often the

best way to find ideas for your own space is to look at the examples of others. Hopefully you'll find some

inspiration for your own home and Thanksgiving table amongst the shots below. Happy holidays!
