{A Curated Life}

Stone sinks and brass fittings only get more beautiful with time.

Linen tea towels. They have just arrived, and I am loving them!

Copper pots, so lovely and soulful.

Laguiole knives, made in France, are a classic addition to my kitchen must haves.

I have been contemplating the beauty to be found in materials that can last a lifetime and beyond. Classics which stand the test of time. Simple shapes with intrinsic elegance, made with quality materials and craftsmanship.

People used to embroider their linens, such a charming thing I think. Now that my linen tea towels have arrived, I am thinking about getting mine monogrammed! A luxury I can afford, which feels really special and just for me.

Sturdy wood tables with that glow of patina that only comes with age, sweeps of marble counter tops, soft Egyptian cotton sheets, down fill blankets. For me, it is these details that amount to true luxury. It's not having a big house or expensive cars, but quality in the things you hold in your hands and that touch your skin. It takes more time to collect good quality pieces, but they will last you. Living a more curated life, making thoughtful decisions about each thing you bring into your home.
