    By Sara Bliss on June 18, 2012
    Clearly, Maryam Montague has superpowers. Maryam is the mother of 2, and a human rights and democracy specialist who advises governments. Wildly impressive on its own. But Maryam also has another very prolific and more creative identity as a designer, writer, blogger, and hotel owner. Wanting to put down roots after traveling the globe for her career, Maryam and her husband […]

    Get the Look: Washington School House

    By Sara Bliss on June 8, 2012
    I love it when an antique architectural gem is given a sparkling update that manages to both preserve the original details that give it character and bring it into the 21st-century.

    By Sara Bliss on May 25, 2012

    Library Wallpaper at The Pig Hotel in England

    By Sara Bliss on May 21, 2012

Hung on either side of a fireplace, the wallpaper adds so much character and cool to the room. As more people download their bestsellers (like Jill Kargman’s new The Rockstar in Seat 3A), I’m not surprised that library […]
