4.) If you are planning a Super Bowl party, here are some easy and amazingly good ideas for feeding everyone. First, a charcuterie board would be perfect. It can be done ahead, and can serve as many or as few as you want. Make chili mac or French bread pizza. This dip is a classic, and will be gone in no time. This brie in puff pastry is super simple, but looks very impressive! One last idea…bake some loaves of quick bread, slice them, and present them on a pretty tray. A few savory choices: rosemary bread (pictured above), beer bread, or garlic cheese bread.

5.) CURRENT DECOR CRUSHES: this gorgeous ivory and blue tufted wool rug, this tripod floor lamp with little round shelves (in 3 colors), this classic blue toile pillow cover, and this coordinating floral pillow cover. (Both pillow covers are on sale.) I also love this canvas print called “Around The Clouds” and there are 3 frame colors to choose from.

6.) BE INSPIRED: If you love the combination of farmhouse style with Scandinavian, follow @bvintagestyle on Instagram. I also adore everything from @ruefer.heartandhome.

7.) AMAZING HOME TOURS: this home by Ashley Gilbreath has classic details and is full of color, and this home is stunning yet so family-friendly.

8.) WHAT TO WATCH:

• If you like shows about World War II: watch Masters of the Air on Apple TV+.
• Not new but good none-the-less: My All American and The Vow on Netflix.
• If you remember the song “We Are The World,” watch The Greatest Night In Pop, on Netflix.

9.) BOARD AND BATTEN INSPIRATION: See what you can do with even the tiniest space, and although not technically board and batten, I really like this vertical shiplap. This design reminds me of what we had in the dining room on Sutton Place. Here is the entry in our current home. It turned out even better than I had hoped!

10.) Wishing you a lovely week! XO
