Hanging out with Holley at Farm Rio
Someone call the doctor…because it looks like there’s a yellow fever outbreak! With Farm Rio’s stunning array of yellow floral and tropical prints, I’m thinking this could be highly contagious. FYI…I might be going bananas….because I am pairing Farm Rio’s banana...
Hanging out with Holley at Zara
One of my favorite places to “hang out” is Zara….in the store or online. So, no surprise, I am loving their summer-blues selection. I must admit, I am smitten with Zara’s tie-dyed blue and white midi dress. I’m giving it a sophisticated vibe on our board with white...

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.

With the onset of the busy fall gathering season comes the quiet anxiety that so often accompanies it. We want to gather the people we love, yet the thought of opening our front door feels heavy before guests even arrive.
Now is the perfect time for us to connect with my FREE coaching calls launching Monday, October 5. I`m on a mission to help women host with ease and confidence regardless if you are a new or a seasoned host wanting to gather differently.
Comment CALL below 👇 and I`ll send you more details. I`m just a call 📞 away.
Give yourself permission this season to set a simple table and let your home be lived in.

SAVE this checklist before your next houseguests arrive.
After 40 years of welcoming people into my home, I have learned that true hospitality is simply removing friction before your guest even feels it.
Here are the little details I keep in our guest bathroom so nobody ever has to secretly search through medicine cabinets or ask for help:
• Extra toothbrushes and travel toothpaste
• Travel mouthwash and floss picks
• Feminine products placed openly in a pretty canister
• Makeup wipes, which also saves your good white linens from mascara
• Single-dose headache, antacid packets and allergy medicine.
• A little stain remover pen for quick dinner spills
• A dedicated stack of waffle hand towels right by the sink
• Extra toilet paper and tissues
When everything is out in plain sight, your guests can relax and feel completely cared for.
What is the one thing you always forget to pack when you stay with friends?
Behind this closet door is 40 years of gathering, collecting, and inheriting.
I could have opted out before the stacks of linens, silver tureens, glassware, and candle holders got this big.
I decided not to because I love gathering people around the table that much.
My mother and grandmother`s Johnson Brothers Friendly Village china lives right here alongside decades of estate sale finds. The closet is filled, some may say slightly out of hand, and I would not change a single shelf.

Comment HOST and we will get you on the list!
Your excuses came knocking. And I’ve heard every single one of them.
“My house isn’t ready.” “I don’t have enough space.” “I don’t know what to serve.” “I’m too busy.” “I’m not good at entertaining.” “I’ll host when…”
Here’s what I want you to know: you do not need a bigger house, a perfect menu, matching dishes, or more confidence before you invite people in.
Sometimes you just need someone to help you figure out what’s actually getting in the way.
That’s where I come in.
After years of hosting, producing events, and helping women create gatherings that feel warm and welcoming, I’m stepping into a new role: your personal hosting mentor.
Not to teach you how to host like me.
To help you discover how to host like you.
Beginning October 5, I’m opening House Calls—complimentary one-on-one conversations where we’ll talk about what’s keeping you from opening your door and find a simpler, more realistic way forward.
Because I believe we need to start inviting people into our homes again. Not when everything is perfect. Now.
Your table doesn’t need to impress anyone.
It just needs people around it.
