Behind the Masthead

“Tree Of Life Crewel” in Antique Rose

Each issue, our masthead is set against a fabric or wallcovering. Here’s the pattern gracing the Summer 2026 issue.

From the Editor

There is a particular kind of magic that arrives with fall. The leaves ignite in brilliant color, the air turns crisp, and our homes once again become the gathering places they were always meant to be. As the season shifts, we naturally retreat indoors, rediscovering the textures, layers, and quiet comforts that transform a house into a sanctuary. This issue celebrates that seasonal return with a collection of homes that honor history, embrace bold design, and demonstrate the enduring power of thoughtful renewal.
