New furniture is an investment, and it takes time to find the right piece. There are lots of things to consider – and one of the most important is whether you want to slipcover or upholster. I’m sharing the pros and cons of each to help you make that decision.

Madeline picked some of her favorite pieces that she can’t believe made it to markdowns, along with items that already found their way into her closet this spring. Check ‘em out!

I had walked by Ms. Moxie’s Moonshop more than a few times and was always curious about what was inside. The name kind of intrigued me, too. Did they sell crystals? Was it a hippie shop and did they howl at the moon?

We have all been there…when your home starts to feel dated, dull, or lacking a fresh vibe but you don’t want to spend money on renovations. This is where you can make wallpaper your best friend. 

The debut of AIP BESPOKE brings a quarterly suite of bespoke and custom experiences ranging from design-your-own accessories and hand-painted monogramming to made-to-measure tailoring and custom footwear from some of South America’s most elite polo boot makers.

With the rising popularity of weight loss drugs and an endless stream of new diets, the false images, unrealistic expectations, and empty promises they sell us are impossible to ignore.

This week we are kicking off our Summer Sale at all three locations: The Shoe Hive, The Hive and Yellow Jacket. I asked Madeline to share some of the items she was surprised didn’t sell – and share some of the pieces she purchased herself that we still have in stock.

We discussed all the things – relationships, spring events, retirement planning, the wealth transfer and the language of money. That’s what I love about smart, confident women—the conversation goes much deeper.

Something you may not know about me: I had a not-so-awesome childhood. Well, that’s not all true. Until the age of eight it was pretty idyllic. But in the fourth grade, my parents divorced and it was a doozy. 

When I was a little girl, if I was very well behaved in the drugstore, my mother would sometimes buy me a hair accessory. I should note that at the time my hair was so long that I could sit on it, so sparkly clips and scrunchies were like currency.

Among the many design elements that shape our living spaces, lighting reigns supreme. It serves to bring all other elements into focus.

I have always had an aversion to cargo pants. I think it was because of a bad date in the 80s when the guy had some unfortunate baggy cargo shorts on.

STOP relying on your foundation and/or moisturizer “with SPF” to be your source of protection from the sun. It’s not enough! 

Since everyone's makeup stash is different, there are a few things you should look for in a makeup organizer that best suits your needs.

There are always going to be home trends that our design team hopes last forever (never leave us, wallpaper!) and others that we can’t wait to fade away.

After collaborating on a few high-end projects, we decided to form a new, expanded firm – convinced that joining forces would allow us to deliver exceptional homes to more clients.

Let’s face it, Old Town is weird. The sizes of rooms are odd and nothing is standard. If the rooms aren’t too small, they are too big for an average size rug.

Located between two cul-de-sacs and graced by the presence of an eagle's nest, this location forms a serene retreat.

We tapped two of our local home and entertainment experts, Amanda Mertins of Patina Polished Living and Rachel Gang of Helen Olivia, for tips on outdoor entertaining.

Hosting and entertaining can often bring on a fair share of stress. But, fear not! We've streamlined the entire process, making it simple and stress-free.
