A Taste of Tuscany

By Kayla Kitts

Hi Friends,

Although simple in design, this antique 12-light chandelier makes a dramatic statement in a cozy white casita. True to traditional Italian style, designer Lori Venners coordinated wood-beamed ceiling, reclaimed larch hardwood floors and a neutral color palette for an open, airy feel. The white walls and linens allow the Old World-inspired furnishings to provide visual interest in the room. With an ebonized finish and detailed hand carvings, the antique four-poster bed ensures guests will have opulent dreams. Architecture by Thom Oppelt.

Design Styles Defined - French


By Erinn Valencich

Hi Friends,

Learn about the most popular styles in interior design. Discover which one fits your home best.

An ornate, fanciful and decorative style is characteristic of this look. Colors range from rich, sun-drenched Mediterranean hues to softer, muted shades. Often, one color or fabric is repeated throughout the space. It's characterized by rich details and extensive use of gold, bronze and gilt. Antique or heirloom furniture, layered dramatic window treatments and abundant fresh flowers fill out a French home. Design by Camilla Forte.

Table Settings for Outdoor Entertaining

Hi Friends,

Beautiful table settings are a great way to take your outdoor entertaining to the next level. Be inspired by these tablescapes made for the great outdoors courtesy of HGTV.


Chic and Sheer
Jamie Durie, host of The Outdoor Room, used clear Louis XIV chairs, hot-pink accessories and fresh flowers to make this table setting a conversation piece.


Casual Elegance
There's a lot going on in this comfy outdoor room, so the table setting needs to be simple. Everyday items like a steel tub, white tableware and small potted plants add style without overwhelming the space.


Island Fever
This long table is the perfect outdoor setting for someone who loves to entertain. The bright tableware pops against the natural dark wood.


Coco Cabana
An alfresco meal poolside? Yes, please. Once again, Jamie Durie transforms an outdoor space into an oasis using bright colors, durable materials and comfortable fabrics.
