A room scene from Serena and Lily




Interior design is my second love after fashion. Hours are spent on Sundays pouring over Elle Decor, old copies of Domino (which I refuse to give up) and Apartmenttherapy.com. Stumbling on Serena and Lily in House Beautiful this month, I was immediately smitten and obsessed. This boutique home decor site is a little piece of heaven.


Every few months or so the itch to rearrange or whip up an entirely new color scheme overtakes me. Apparently, the urge is surfacing because I've buried myself in sketches and fabric swatches for recovering chairs and hanging new curtains.


Serena and Lily is bursting with vibrant bedding, pillows, furniture and accessories for home. The Chai Nesting Tables and pink leather Moroccan Pouf are fabulous and functional. Savvy but budget minded fashionistas will appreciate the chic take on everyday decor. After having curtains and pillows custom made, spending $88 on a ready made pillow isn't such a scary thing.


In their own words about how they came together founders Serena Dugan and Lily Kantar say:

In retrospect, it wasn’t simply the advantageous fit of designer with businesswoman that made sparks fly that day – it was our shared aesthetic and shared vision of the baby’s room reinvented. Children’s spaces that are fresh and style-driven, with dynamic color and pattern combination, timeless and comfortable through sophistication and simplicity…this is what we both dreamed of.

At the end of the day, that's style even adults can appreciate!
