Athena Calderone’s Brooklyn townhouse

Athena Calderone’s Brooklyn home has continued to be a source of inspiration for myself. Her approach to interiors (and food) is the inviting mix of traditional sensibility + modern form, while remaining unfussy and warm. I come back to her home time and time again but one space is a sure favorite of mine: her patio, and the beautiful flow between it and her kitchen. The checkered tile paired with vintage ironwork furniture is a beautiful take on classics that has me scheming to reinvent our own patio that we renovated in 2020. If you’ve never explored Athena’s work, do yourself a favor this weekend and browse through her beautiful home portfolio as well as her Instagram that features plenty of cooking tips and recipes to catalogue away for a special meal.

This week I picked up – yet again – a Facebook Marketplace find for our living space. I had intended for this coffee table to go in our tv den but decided to style in our front room instead. Watch here for my tips on how I quickly style coffee tables, consoles + the like!

SHOP OUR COFFEE TABLE

I opened a can of worms on Instagram when I asked a question about towel hook placement in our main bath – I don’t like that I can see the towels hanging in the mirror, so I had been exploring other possibilities of where to hang the towels. The discussion divulged into how often a towel should be used and people definitely have opinions!

I shared a few practical items I used daily around the house, including our USB lighter, wine aerator and the large canister that houses our coffee – along with the wood scratch repair that gave coffee table new life:


Happy Friday!

A moment for my latest @facebook marketplace find A moment for my latest @facebook marketplace find 🫶 this wrought iron chaise for $50 + new cushion from @walmart is going to my mvp this summer. I rearranged the back patio a bit and I’m loving how it feels. Just a little reminder that it doesn’t take big bucks or an overhaul for something to feel fresh again!

There is a beauty and ease that comes with life by There is a beauty and ease that comes with life by the sea, whether it be on northern or southern shores. Seashells are a quintessential beauty that are worn by living creatures, eventually discarded for us to enjoy or broken down to become one with the earth. They’re a reminder of the beauty of life and how powerful nature can be. And because of that, I think they’re a perfect addition to any room – no matter where you live!

We started planning and renovating this space abou We started planning and renovating this space about two years ago and I have a few takeaways now that we’ve lived with it:
- so glad we fit as much shelving into this space as possible
- storing our microwave in here is 👌
- I toyed with the idea of adding an ice maker in here…kinda wish I would have
- the wallpaper was the best splurge
- removing walls isn’t always the answer (we split a hallway in two to create this space)

You can read all about this project on the blog! Link in bio 🫶
