The new neutral isn’t a shade of white at all .

The new neutral isn’t a shade of white at all . . . It’s a soft charcoal and it’s here to stay. Not as harsh as black, but still winter-ready. Gray is slowly replacing off-white as the new go-to neutral, according to expert decor sources like @housebeautiful and @benjaminmoore. I personally love it for tabletops - and if you’re afraid of how food looks on dark dinnerware - it’s actually amazing! Check @crateandbarrel if you just want to dip your toes in this fun shade. They have quite a few dinnerware sets in gray shades - I’ll link to my collection in my story . . .

Hallelujah! It’s finally cooling down here in Ph

Hallelujah! It’s finally cooling down here in Phoenix after a really long and hot summer. The air is crisp in the mornings and nights, which means the majority of our dining will now be alfresco for quite some time. Taking advantage of the fall bounty at my local farmer’s market, I set up this table in my garden, using produce as my decor. A simple kraft paper table runner became my easy table covering and individual mini copper cocottes hold fresh crudités as a starter before dinner. Don’t underestimate what’s in season for both cooking and for decorating!

Throwing parties and entertaining is looking a lot

Throwing parties and entertaining is looking a lot different for most of us these days and the upcoming holidays will certainly be unique as well. Very small gatherings and hosting micro events outside with plenty of spacing safely in between guests is now the norm. My good friend, Leslie @leslie.lehr, and I, had a few girlfriends over last night to learn beauty and holiday makeup tips by our expert and friend @lisa_moorebeauty. It was a lovely evening with lovely ladies who I cherish - such a great way to start the weekend! Happy Saturday friends!

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know that

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know that Tuesday nights are pretty special at my house. We call it Grandma Dinner Night and it’s exactly what it sounds like. The Grandmas come over around 6, we pour them their beloved cocktails, gather in the kitchen while I cook, and then sit down at the dinner table to reconnect - three generations over a home-cooked meal - and enjoy each other’s company. Our kids are expected to be present and sometimes we have to schedule dinner time around their activities so we can all be together. I set a different table and try new recipes each week. So many of my friends asked to see photos of my table and wanted to know what I was cooking, and this is really how To Have + To Host got started. You can usually catch videos of my table and what I’ve served for Grandma Dinner Night on my IG story by Wednesday or Thursday. And I’m very honest about whether my dish was a hit or miss and whether it’s worth your time to try it. I hope you enjoy seeing how this tradition has become such an important part of my family’s week and that maybe you find inspiration to try something similar!
