The Guide

Fresh floral items for your home, elegant, 19th-century pattern glass anyone can collect, three stylish new places to sip or sup, a roomy American Foursquare in need of saving, a Windham vintage shop packed with unexpected treasures, roadtripping through Belfast, top designers’ wallpaper picks, and straight-shooting advice on your home and garden conundrums.

Get Inspired
