To make it extra special, we added gold trim and rivets, and the result is a gorgeous, sleek but classic mirror that would look good in literally any type of decor from modern to traditional. It also would be incredible in a bathroom as well, although the scale is on the large side! Perhaps a smaller version in the future for powder rooms?

You can order it now HERE! Also check out our other designs with Cooper Classics HERE!

I was feeling inspired by the new collection, so I put together two quick mood boards for each color way!

You can shop the whole collection here!

When times are heavy, we deserve little treats wherever we can spare the time or money – be it a nice walk or a new candle. In an effort to urge you to be kind with yourself, here are few small ways to boost your mood within your home.

Several of you asked for tips on how to decorate a mantel when it’s NOT holiday season, so I pulled together examples with objects that work well for three different types of installations – under a TV, with a mirror and with art. Also – some great fireplace screens and tool sets, since those really add a nice layer (in my living room above I used this screen and this tool set).

For a mantel with a mirror above (I typically place mirrors above if there is statement art elsewhere in the room, as my living room above has). If it’s a larger square or rectangular mirror, I do like to lean a smaller art piece against it and then layer a variety of objects of different heights – candlesticks, small sculptural objects, candles, etc. If the fireplace is non-working or you’re styling it in the summertime, I love a big stack of birch logs (not a big fan of candelabras in fireplaces myself…)

I also like to layer objects on mantels with large art above – sometimes with a smaller piece in a different medium (a sketch or photograph if the large art is a painting, for example). Sconces are always preferred, if possible (some fabulous cordless ones here if you can’t or don’t want to wire for them). I also love a little greenery, but understand if you can’t keep things alive (me neither), so I included some great faux greenery items like this papier mache flower.

For a mantel under a TV, your decor is limited to the width of your mantel versus the width of the TV – you do not want object cluttering your view of the screen. Some slim tapers and low objects are a good idea if you have the space. You can see in my family room below, I only have a couple small things to add a little interest, but nothing major, which would feel forced.

Admittedly I have NOT designed many yellow rooms in my career – it’s just never been my favorite color historically (yellow paint being one of the hardest colors to get right in my book). The guest suite above was the most yellow space I have photographed I can share- which is not a lot of yellow. But if 2025 was the year I fell back in love with red, 2026 is going to be the year of me and YELLOW. I’m finding myself saving a lot of rooms done in yellow on IG and have a pile of yellow fabrics I’m loving on my desk. All of a sudden I get really excited when a client suggests yellow for a room! So I pulled together some favorite things I’ve found in this tone. All the links can be found HERE.

How do you feel about yellow? Are there other colors you want to try out in 2026 that maybe used to be on your “no thanks” list?

Here are some favorites for greenery and accents:

And some favorite faux trees, accompanying accents and ornaments:

Of Note:

• Invest in a good fake tree- this one looks amazing and a good balance between sparse and full.
• Also invest in really good faux garland, especially anything at eye level – Afloral’s Norfolk Pine and this faux cedar are my two favorites.
• I buy all widths and types of velvet ribbon in a palette – last year was all copper and neutrals, this year a mix of brown, blue and olive green. I like both vintage frayed velvet like this and wired ribbon as well.
• I love a good tree basket- I love that this one is hinged so you can put it on AFTER the tree goes in the stand!
• I don’t swap out pillows or decor for Xmas other than sheets for the kids and an occasional throw – like these.
• Our “kid tree” is a bit of a freestyle event, but the tree in the living room is MINE! LOL. I like to have a few sets of consistent ornaments like these glitter stars and tonal balls– and then mix in funny and collected ornaments from over time. This ornament is speaking to me this year.

Since we launched my tabletop collection with Kassatex, I’ve been wanting to play around with how I’d design a full table using these items and it came together SO beautifully. I think the plum and light blue paired together is rich and autumnal and yet fresh and a little unexpected. Paired with the resin horn accents (this vase is a MUST have at $55, it’s SO SO good!) it really feels perfect for Thanksgiving. I even went ahead and designed a cute kids table that is indestructible to coordinate so you can focus on enjoying your meal and not if someone spilled on the linens!

Also, a reminder that we launched shower curtains in Greek Key to match the towels, a new grey colorway of the best-selling Beacon Hill bath accessories, and a very fall-appropriate resin horn bath accessory collection as well.

Thanks for all your sweet comments and emails this week. I’m so glad to have this community to lean on during tough times. XO

First up, our gorgeous tabletop items from our Reverie Collection, including:

• Ripple / Fluted Marble Reversible Placemats
• Ripple Embroidered Dinner Napkins, Lola Ditz Dinner Napkins
• Ripple Embroidered Cocktail Napkins, Fluted Marble Cocktail Napkins
• Cambridge faux horn Napkin Ring Set
• Sconset Woven Chargers
• The Cambridge Vase in a faux horn (you’ve probably seen peeks of it from our recent photo shoots – it’s SO good).

We wanted to keep the color palette for the table linens holiday-agnostic, so you can mix and match and blend in with any decor theme.

We also designed something new for us – menorahs! Over the last few years when putting together gift guides and holiday decor round ups, I noticed a lack of modern menorahs. I know that this is an heirloom piece, often passed down in families, but for anyone looking for a new menorah for Hanukkah, we have you covered in this fluted marble version (in both Ivory and Grey).

We also have new bath accessories! We worked with the team to update our best-selling Beacon Hill bath collection, now available in a dark grey marble.

We also loved the faux horn resin we used in the table top collection so much, we made it into bath accessories, including a waste basket, tissue box cover, soap dispenser, and more.

All of these items are available now – can’t wait to see how you use them in your homes!

Step 1: Preorder my new book, “Elements of Timeless Style: Creating a Forever Home”. Not only does it provide lots of helpful advice, it will look very nice on your coffee table or bookshelf :)

Step 2: Watch this video, where I really break it down for you.

Step 3: Add in some cute and practical accessories, frames, book ends, art work, candles, etc. Click the image below for links!

One of my most popular posts of years past was a bookshelf accessory round up and a client of mine alerted me that a lot of the links were dead/no longer available, so I updated the post to include some new fresh finds!

The key to successful bookshelf styling is to mix up the contents- small art, photographs, sculpture, boxes, trays– you name it. I even have a animal skull I found in the woods (and bleached, don’t worry) on mine under a cloche. Anything goes! Also, be sure to change the direction of your books from shelf to shelf (or even within the same shelf)- placing some stacked horizontal and others the normal orientation with bookends.

Some faves right now that I’ve spotted across the interwebs:

• only item not linked in the image is my new wallpaper which you can purchase HERE.

We do a LOT of bookshelf styling – it seems to be something almost every client needs our help on when installing a project – so I thought I’d share a selection of my favorite neutral, go-with-any-home accents we like to use on bookshelves when styling. Obviously copious amounts of books are the first thing you need, but adding in objects, small art and carefully coordinated picture frames makes them look polished and interesting.
