Revisiting last Christmas morning’s surprise Nutcracker breakfast I put together for Max while working on this year’s holiday scheme…🎄✨ 🎀Whimsical details like my old toe shoes, playful ribbons, popcorn-filled crackers, pads of bow-shaped butter, and festive charm made it one of my most favorites to create — and pure magic for her to experience. 💫 #mstarrdesignstudio #mstarrdesign #farmhousedialfano #holidaytablescape

🍂 Our Fall front door: earthy, undone & featuring many a foraged elements from our yard - dried hydrangeas, mossy branches, muted pumpkins, (reusable) floating butterflies. Justtt spooky enough for Halloween yet transitions easily to Thanksgiving by removing some pieces, letting others linger, and layering in new ones. A reminder that design — like the seasons — evolves best when imperfect and lived-in. 🎃✨🦋 #farmhousedialfano #mstarrdesignstudio #mstarrdesign

Door color is Studio Green & trim is French Gray, both @farrowandball.

The week that was… 🍂🛍️👧🏻🐝📔🚪🖌️🌑🍎🍩🏡🐕🌿

CSA 🌼 haul + falling 🍂 + patio shadows
New pieces coming to our shop so soon!
17 hours with our niece
Queen Bumblebee mating (apparently rare to see!) next to me as I worked outside
Vintage finds (that book is AMAZING)
Front door views
Wallpaper went up at our No.216 Waban project, so many wonky angles!
Nighttime in the backyard
I could solely subsist on fresh cider donuts
Driving up the driveway
A very handsome old boy
Late afternoon in the garden…

🍂 Our fall front door kicks off with the wreath I made from yard hydrangeas & CSA blooms. Once it was hung, I added a few final touches—freshly cut lavender from the backyard and my DIY moss branches—and made a few tweaks to fill some holes & add justttt a little symmetry to help balance out the natural asymmetry. 🌿✨

P.S. I’ll be selling a few wreaths locally if you’re interested! 💌 #mstarrdesign #mstarrdesignstudio #perfectlyimperfectliving

Wallpaper is going up at our No. 216 Waban project. This 1930s home is full of character—some more challenging to work with than others. Case in point: the staircase & entry with its tricky transitions, wonky angles, and a delicate balance of determining which surfaces should read as ceiling vs wall. I’m not sure there’s a “right” way to do this, but we made it happen—and it turned out beautifully!

I’ll be sharing more soon, but you can find some details in my No. 216 Waban story highlight. ✨

🍂 Hydrangea season may be fading but their beauty certainly isn’t…so use them in a whimsical fall wreath! There’s really no wrong way—the joy is in the whimsy—but a few tips to help:

✨ Cut when blooms are just starting to turn/dry (early AM is best, after rain or watering). ✨ Trim stems 12–15” at an angle, close to the nearest node (aka leaves), and strip the leaves. ✨ Start with a wreath frame & greenery base (I used artificial wired) then the hydrangeas, and layer in grasses & other blooms, securing with floral wire as needed. ✨ Snap a quick pic—your camera spots the gaps your eye might miss! Asymmetry is great, holes are not.

Foraged, bought, or clipped from the yard…there’s no wrong way to make the wreath your own. More details (and materials) in Hydrangea Fall Wreath story highlight… #farmhousedialfano
