Monthly Favorites: May Edition

Happy end of the month! (almost) As 2019 moves along, I feel as if the days are flying by and I wanted to create a way to remember some of the beautiful moments I experienced as well as some fresh items and trends I think you as a reader would find interesting. Let’s get started!

Affordable furniture:

Finding a great deal is paramount for the charitable work that I take on each quarter. When designing a space for a family in need, I try to find pieces that are not only functional and beautiful but of course fit our budget as well. Below are some of my favorites finds this month.

1. Canopy Bed 2. Entertainment Center 3. Task Chair 4. 6-Tier Bookcase

Decorations (Summer vibes):

The Hearth & Hand collection hit the stores this month, and it is spectacular! That pretty bike with a a basket just waiting for flowers has my name all over it.

1. Woven Cement Planters 2. White Bike 3. Shiplap Bird House 4. Kid’s Market Cart 5. Bocce Ball Set 6. Weekender Bag 7. Door Mat 8.Woven Lounge Chair

My favorite Instagram accounts:

When appropriately used, Instagram is a great tool and can offer endless inspiration. This month as I channeled my inner Marie Kondo, I became obsessed with organization and Ria Safford’s account RiOrganize is filled with so many great ideas. There doesn’t seem to be a nook, cupboard or shelf she cannot transform. She is definitely one to follow!

It’s my dream to one day build a cottage as a guest house, and although my family is still working towards that goal, it hasn’t stopped me from saving pictures now that offer great inspiration. The Cottage Journal is a must if you are looking for curated ideas for any interior.

Lastly, the Northeastern Nautical Instagram account offers excellent ideas for travel throughout New England. Julia documents her trips beautifully, and I always look forward to her posts.
