What We’ve Been Up To… 

Though the weather may suggest otherwise, it’s time to start preparing your home for fall. For us, that means several things: bringing out hides and sheepskins to warm up the floors, refreshing guest rooms in anticipation of out-of-town visitors, swapping out brighter art for works with more autumnal tones, prepping the porch for cooler weather, and making sure we’ve got plenty of options for curling up with a good book. Still hoping to hang onto that summer feeling as long as possible? Here, you’ll find everything you need to host one last summer soiree.

A Parting Piece of Knowledge… 

The first form of photography debuted in 1839—a process that produced a black-and-white image called a daguerreotype. It wasn’t until the early-20th century that photographs were widely available in color. And while we can’t deny the beauty of a brightly hued photo, there’s something about a print in black and white that feels striking and wonderfully nostalgic. Whether it’s a fashion print, a historical shot, or a dramatic landscape, these photographs are the perfect way to create a monochrome moment in your space. Discover how to do it here.
