Spring

Ariana’s Desk: Currently putting finishing touches on a project Ive enjoyed working on with dear friends in Westport. Its been such a fun collaboration to help this family personalize their beautiful new home. We incorporated soft tones, lots of texture and great timeless furniture to give this young family the right amount of comfort and interest. Check back to see the full project on the portfolio soon.

Small Business I’m Currently Smitten with BoAndAnStudio. Love all the patterns and textures on these pillows that are resonably priced and great quality.

Kids corner: Just enjoying the new season of cheerleading, baseball, softball and theatre for the 4 mini Villaltas.

What’s cooking: LOVING Cook Beautiful by Athena Calderone. She is a spicy little Italian from Brooklyn like me and I just cant get enough of her home decor, fashion and amazing cook book. Feels fresh, healthy and not too fusy.

Chestnut Hill Happenings- We have been slowly finishing off the sunroom this season and are enjoying indoor outdoor living. Just got this couch from Crate and Barrel both the kids and husband love the comfort, depth and fabric. Will be great for when we entertain in the spring and summer, or spend a Sunday reading a good book.

In my cart

Fashion: Loving these pants and knit shirt for a laid back but collected look.

House: Always finding some fun things from my girl Shea at Target for our house of crazy. Getting this rug for the primary bedroom. We have been through 3 and until our goldens stop mudding up our rugs this is just the right amount of style but without the $$$.

On my nightstand: With the change of seasons, my skin is craving something light but nourishing. Loving this product that came highly recommended.

Podcast Im loving: Always The Daily and for a bit of design entertainment Alice Lane. I love how they conceptualize the design process but come at it with a really positive happy energy.

Happy May! Check back in June!
