Mastering the Art of Mixing Old & New

One of the most enduring and captivating trends in home decor is the thoughtful integration of vintage finds with contemporary pieces. This approach, beautifully championed by brands like Serena & Lily, creates spaces that feel both layered with history and undeniably fresh. To achieve this look, consider pairing a sleek, modern sofa with an antique side table, or complementing a minimalist dining table with vintage dining chairs. The key is to find balance and allow each piece to tell its own story while contributing to a cohesive whole.

Learn More About BEACH HOUSE RULES
Celebrated as a “Southern bestselling sensation” by Katie Couric Media, Kristy Woodson Harvey delivers another delightfully moving novel, Beach House Rules. This captivating story follows a mother-daughter duo as they navigate unexpected challenges, learning to lean on a vibrant community of women—and each other—after their world is dramatically upended.
Charlotte Sitterly’s life takes a sudden turn when her husband is arrested for a white-collar crime. She and her daughter Iris find themselves locked out of their home by the FBI and, perhaps even more daunting, thrust into the merciless spotlight of @JuniperShoresSocialite, the town’s notoriously snarky anonymous Instagram account. Cut off from her bank accounts and feeling utterly desperate, Charlotte accepts an acquaintance’s offer: a stay at a beachfront former bed-and-breakfast. This unique establishment is home to a community of single mothers, a place that, naturally, draws plenty of gossip in the charming but small coastal North Carolina town of Juniper Shores.
Against the backdrop of their challenging circumstances, Charlotte and Iris begin to find unexpected solace and joy with the other families. They’re surprised by how much fun they’re having, discovering a sense of belonging in this unconventional “mommune.” However, their newfound peace is tested when the women uncover a secret link connecting them all. This revelation threatens to change everything they thought they knew about their newly formed family, leaving them to wonder if their coming together was a mere coincidence after all. As skeletons emerge from the mommune closets, the question arises: Will these secrets help Charlotte and Iris reclaim their place in the Juniper Shores community, or will they shatter the sisterhood forever?
Described as “perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Jennifer Weiner” by Country Living, Beach House Rules is a charming and insightful exploration of the profound joy of friendship, the true meaning of family, and the empowering journey of reshaping one’s own destiny. It’s a testament to the strength found in female bonds and the unexpected paths life can take.
