I love working with Sarah. She has a beautiful sense of style, great resources, is incredibly flexible, and has opened my eyes to new avenues that I would never have considered but now love. I’ve referred her to several family members and friends, each with a different style and Sarah has been a perfect match. She’s a pleasure to work with.
Having worked in graphic and industrial design for 25 years, I was hardly a decorator’s dream client. I had high (read unreasonable) standards, extensive (but not interior) design experience, and was highly opinionated (but never in doubt). Luckily for me, my wife, and my apartment, we met Sarah Trumbore. She taught me what works and what doesn’t work in an apartment design scheme. She brought impeccable taste, design management experience and knows every resource in New York. She was a delight to work with. A true professional. I look forward to seeing the work her new firm will produce. I know it will be great.
Working with Sarah has been a delight! She listens with the upmost professionalism, her follow through is amazing and her style is just what I was looking for in a designer. With all these attributes, I also recommended her to my daughter.
I knew Sarah from way back when, and I have watched her grow from a young girl with a passion for interior design, into a college graduate of interior design who has worked for some amazing designers. So when I moved from Boston to South Carolina I knew I needed her expertise and eye in helping me with a vision for our new Southern Paradise. I was so impressed with her ideas, excitement and execution. She turned a dark, boring house into something publishable. She works with so much passion for the trade and that passion has grown over the years from a girl who knew she wanted to be a designer, to a woman who has created some of the most breathtaking spaces. We absolutely love and get so many compliments on the beautiful home she has helped create for us! We will continue working with Sarah for years to come…
I am not one to wear flip flops often, especially having lived in NYC for over a decade, you need some barrier between your feet and the street. You can usually find me in a mule or a loafer during the summer months. Some of my fav picks for this season below.
pink raffia loafer – stubbs & wootton mules – soludos espadrille mule – raffia loafer – tassle mules – denim mules – pale blue driving loafers
The kickoff to the summer season starts Memorial Day weekend which is only a couple weeks away! I’ve rounded up some fun summer entertaining ideas that go beyond your typical BBQ. All of these can be tailored to your guests whether the get-together is for kids, coworkers, friends, etc. I find that the fun can either come from the activities or the food. Enjoy!
1.) Movie night under the stars- I came across this link here from Camille Styles and I just have to do this! They style it for kids but I would totally get together a bunch of girlfriends for wine and movie night while watching one of my all time favorite movies, Troop Beverly Hills!
2. Change up the seating- Instead of serving dinner at a dining table, why not set up a low table or create a backyard picnic. link here
3. Don’t overlook the power of lawn games! I find them to be a great ice breaker and they keep the party going. They can be tailored to accommodate any guest list. Link here and here.
Make the food fun!
4.) Ever since I saw Chrissy Teigen and John Legend throw a crabtacular with Chef Roble on Bravo I just fell in love with this idea! It takes away the formality of dining and lets people get a little messy. Wax paper down the center table, seafood, bibs = summer. To check out clips from the episode with Chrissy and John click here. To try it yourself link here, here and here
5.) No one likes to see a stressed out host so parties where you can prep in advance are ideal. This is a great idea where all of the prep can be done in advance. You can set up the pizza prep station, a great bar station and throw the pizzas on the grill when people have completed their creation. Link here. The link is set up as an ad but their styling is great for inspiration!
6.) Another DIY option link here. You can prep a fun station and let your guests choose their own adventure.
7.) The ultimate BBQ is the pig roast. Link here. My dad has requested this for his 70 1/2 birthday party (actual day is in December) If anyone has tried this, let me know your tips! Would love to hear them before I attempt it myself.
I have shopped for many toddler beds over the years. It is such a special time when your tiny baby becomes a little person, the room should reflect that. A project I am currently working on, the little boy was so happy when the Phillip Jeffries accent wall was installed.. he hugged the wall! It was so sweet but also a reminder that kids really care about their space and that should be encouraged. The biggest step for this transition is usually the bed. I always like for it to be a statement, either with the fabric, the scale or the shape. Let’s face it, kids’ rooms get messy so the bed needs to be the anchor and also the reassurance that it can be pulled back together.. one day!
I like a lot of these options because the fabric can be semi customized (or even fully customized) or there are many color options available depending on your littlest love’s preference.

I am currently in the process of transforming our landscape and outdoor area, outdoor everything really! From paint, to gardens to furniture. I am working with the firm Christie Dustman for the landscape and I am super happy with the initial plans! Hoping to have this ready for summer which is almost completely unrealistic. It’s like I’ve never heard of a lead time before! We shall see how far we get.
Look below for the furniture direction (for now!) and some inspiration.
1. Outdoor Sofa 2.Stool 3. McKinnon and Harris (Trade) 4. Console 5. McKinnon and Harris (Trade)

I really want to cover the house in ivy. When looking through the town archives it seems our 1920s Tudor style home once was, maybe it’s time to bring it back! Some inspiration below.

I was also inspired by yesterday’s talk with Stacey Bewkes and Susanna Salk at the Boston Design Center to look back at some of the classics by the great designers and style makers. Particularly Bunny Williams’ Connecticut Home with John Rosselli as well as Aerin Lauder’s family home in Palm Beach. If you don’t follow Stacey and Susanna on Instagram you should as well as check out the Quintessence blog and their web series ‘at home with’ on YouTube. They are fabulous!!

I definitely won’t be planting any Palm trees in New England but how can one not be inspired by this estate!
