Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.She taught me how to prepare fabulous food, entertain guests with style and design a traditional home with a pop of color and a splash of animal print. Share my fondness of blending Mother’s mid-century style with a modern spin.

I love styling a coffee table with my four proven tips to curate a chic, interesting, and lovely place to land.
A coffee table can be a space to draw guests in - a lightly scented candles like this one from @catherinewhite.art.
A gorgeous vessel for flowers like a cocktail glass from @alanakayart.
A stack of design books and gardening books with a page open begging you to take a peak.
And a vignette of three of anything that appeals to you. I love using green this time of year yearning for early spring. These three vases do that.
And, you`ve got to start with a good foundation like this brass coffee table sourced for me by @lillianhudsondesign.

My mother loved Erma Bombeck`s wisdom. I think that`s how she got through her days as a mother of four while helping my daddy run his business.
Erma`s message about waiting to host until your home is "perfect" is sage advice. People want to gather with us, not our things. Hosting is your gift to your friends. They are not coming to spend time with your carpet. Your friends need an evening out to feel loved, be seen and heard and nurtured.
Schedule the dinner party! Host with intention, not perfection.
