I’m beyond thrilled and grateful to be featured in this month’s issue of Style At Home Magazine! It’s always so exciting to see our home in a publication that I admire, and this article was extra special. Not only does the interview focus on this blog and my shop, but it also included several photos that I took myself! I hope you’ll check out the full feature here. Thanks again to Style At Home and Sara Calton for such a great experience.
Today I’m thrilled to share the sophisticated yet cozy home of Annie Diamond, the talented lady behind the blog, Most Lovely Things.
Back when Annie and I first started our blogs, I lived in New York and Annie lived in California-crazily enough, we now both live in the same small town in Connecticut!
Annie has taken her California style and infused it into her classic New England home.
The pared down colors of black, white and neutral tones along with the pitch perfect mix of “modern meets country” make Annie’s home so warm and inviting.
The white painted stone hearth is beyond amazing!
Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us Annie.
He’s 12 weeks old and has now been a part of our family for almost four days.
The other day, I officially welcomed Cosmo into our home on Instagram – along with a request for any and all new puppy advice.
Even though my husband and I both grew up with dogs, we’re pretty clueless as to how to train a puppy (it’s just now dawning on us that our parents really handled that responsibility).
The response to my plea for help was great.
We received a lot of advice for new puppy parents like us.
New Puppy Tips
Some of the tips were suggested by multiple people- which really made me take notice.
Here’s a few of the ones that stood out – and by all means, please feel free to add your own to the list!
– Be consistent with taking him out for potty training.
– Keep a schedule and crate train him for sleeping.
This was the most popular piece of advice- having never heard of this before, I did some research and ended up getting this one.
If nothing else it looks pretty on the door- but honestly, so many people have raved about training their dogs this way that it makes me think we can do this too!
-It takes about two weeks for dogs to adjust to the new surroundings, be patient.
-Invest in some baby gates.
-Keep a ticking clock and a t-shirt that’s been worn next to the puppy when he sleeps. (we don’t have a ticking clock-but I found an old sound machine from our baby days, and might try this)
While I don’t have more dog content, I do have more posts about what’s going on with our home…
Wish us luck, hoping to be on a better sleep schedule soon, as I’m someone that really needs her sleep
