The Entertaining House is a website that has become synonymous with style, simplicity and affordable luxury.
The Entertaining House, has been described as "Design in regards to all aspects of your home, life and LIVING... a wonderful [site] filled with positivity, wit and intelligence." With "elegant, and simple pleasures based on life's humor." The Entertaining House was recently nominated to Modenus' Top 100 Design and Architecture blogs. Part magazine, part memoir, The Entertaining House is about living well and living a well lived life within a means - where family heirlooms can co-exist nicely with kind finds from today, both in the home and in fashion. Style is a balance of everyday pieces and luxury, and should be affordable and available to all. It is my hope that The Entertaining House inspires, entertains and educates.

She believes that life can be stylish, sophisticated (and yet whimsical) within a means. She has recently embraced a Slow + Simple way of living as well. Why create extra steps?
