If you live in Westchester and you are not eating your way through pumpkin season, we need to talk. 🎃

Chantilly BXV is a small-batch bakehouse worth visiting any time of year, but their pumpkin spice tres leches makes fall the best time to go.

Baked by Susan does a scratch-made pumpkin pie worth every bite, and if you have kids, they are hosting a pumpkin pie-in-a-cup class on November 1st.

Original Pancake House | Best Pancakes serves pumpkin pancakes with seasonal spice, whipped cream, and nutmeg that are exactly as good as they sound.

Moderne Barn Restaurant is a Best of Westchester winner with a pumpkin cheesecake on the menu: ginger graham crust, crème fraiche, and cranberry compote.

Save this and tag someone who needs a fall food plan.

Millennial gray had a long run, and on this week’s Chic Living Home Styling, I am breaking down what is replacing it.

Color drenching is leading the shift, with walls, trim, and ceilings wrapped in one deep shade. Think of a study in olive green or a bedroom in warm terracotta.

Wallpaper is back in a big way too, and it goes well beyond the tiny accent wall. Picture botanical prints in a powder room or a moody floral behind the bed.

Tile has become the statement piece of the kitchen and bath, from handmade zellige in soft glazes to checkerboard floors that feel classic and a little playful at the same time. The new neutrals lean warm: creamy whites, mushroom, and camel, plus browns with real depth.

Home design should always come down to personal preference first. If gray still makes you happy, there is nothing wrong with that. Trends are inspiration, and you get to decide what to keep.

And if you are ready for a change, paint is still one of the least expensive ways to make a major impact in any room.

Spooky season in Westchester is officially here.🎃

From the Great Jack-o’-Lantern Blaze in Croton-on-Hudson to the Tarrytown Halloween Parade on Main Street, there is no shortage of ways to make the most of October.

Swipe for everything happening this month, save this so you don’t lose it, and tag the person taking with you.

Things can get a little off topic when your clients trust you this much. 😅

When people trust you with one of the biggest decisions of their life, they tend to trust you with everything else too, and I would not trade it for anything.

If you have been thinking about buying or selling in Westchester, send me a message. Fair warning, we might end up talking about a lot more than just houses.
