A perennial favorite, deviled eggs are easy to make and always popular at parties. This is my mom’s version, and it remains our family favorite

People are drawn to New England style for lots of reasons, but one we hear over and over is that they love the traditional feel of our houses and gardens. It’s true that architecturally our houses resemble a child’s drawings

Your spirits will lift every time you see this cheerful basket full of spring’s signature flower. For this daffodil door basket, I’m using faux flowers from Michaels and a willow basket specifically made for hanging arrangements. To make this door basket even more quick and easy, I selected floral bushes from the craft store. Don’t be afraid to really cram the foam in because you’ll need a firm anchor for the stems.

Wherever you live, add this bit of New England flair to your outdoors. Their wide arms provide the perfect spot for a mug of coffee, a glass of wine, or a stack of books. For the classic New England look, we favor pristine white chairs made of painted cedar. On spring and summer mornings, you’ll find me out back on my Adirondack, with a mug of coffee perched on one arm, and book on the other.
