We can all use a good second chance every now and then.
From furniture to houses, accessories to, yes, people, reinvention is one of the best gifts we can give ourselves.Â
And, sometimes, when life changes, in order to move forward, we could all use a second act.Â
That’s exactly what this stunning home became for a pair of empty nesters.Â
And what a stylish second act it is!
Perfectly appointed for a pair–or a party–
And all decked out for the holidays,
We can’t imagine a better place to start a brand new chapter.
Or, for that matter, a better bathroom.
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas Eve Eve–and plenty of space for fresh starts in 2021!

It’s summertime on the North Carolina coast and the livin’ is easy. Unless, that is, you’ve just lost your mother to cancer, your sister to her extremist husband, and your husband to his executive assistant. Meet Gray Howard. Right when Gray could use a serious infusion of good karma in her life, she inadvertently gets a stranger, Diana Harrington, fired from her job at the local pharmacy. Diana Harrington’s summer isn’t off to the greatest start either: Hours before losing her job, she broke up with her boyfriend and moved out of their shared house with only a worn-out Impala for a bed. Lucky for her, Gray has an empty guest house and a very guilty conscience. With Gray’s kindness, Diana’s tide begins to turn. But when her first love returns, every secret from her past seems to resurface all at once. And, as Gray begins to blaze a new trail, she discovers, with Diana’s help, that what she envisioned as her perfect life may not be what she wants at all. In her warmest, wisest novel yet, Kristy Woodson Harvey delivers a discerning portrait of modern womanhood through two vastly different lenses. Feels Like Falling is a beach bag essential for Harvey fans—and for a new generation of readers.
