Welcome to my Handpicked by Milk and Honey Group newsletter. For new subscribers, in this weekly newsletter, I share my top picks for the week - trends or particularly noteworthy design. Each week I share an interior, a real estate listing, and a style item that I think is special. I hope you'll let me know what you think!
1] Handpicked: INTERIOR
I recently discovered Laura Stephens and love her pops of color with her decidedly British sense of style. I fell in love with this home she designed - the mash-up of the patterned wallpaper, opinionated paint color, and bold upholstery meant instant love for me! And the lighting - swoon! Her taste references traditional design but it all feels a bit cheeky which I love.
2) Handpicked: REAL ESTATE
This home in Concord isn't much to look at now, but the neighborhood is phenomenal. One of those old-fashioned communities where kids play in the street together - riding bikes and playing soccer - and neighbors bring over a casserole when you move in. Who doesn't want that? The exterior is tired but it's a blank slate just waiting to be refreshed!
It has some lovely light, which means it has potential! A new kitchen, new baths, and perhaps an expanded rear addition and you've got an amazing investment in coveted Concord!
3) Handpicked: STYLE
Having grown up around the water, the vernacular of the ocean has permeated Blakely Little's art. She founded Blakely Made and is inspired by the landscape around her - marshes in Charleston, her international travels, and her hometown of Annapolis. Her work is sun-soaked and dreamy but also has an Impressionist influence.
Blake's work is at home equally in a beach or lake house, but also as the grounding of a color palette in a suburban or city home (just imagine that sunset painting with a wall in Farrow and Ball, Dimity). What do you think?
That's all from our team this week - can't wait until next week!
