About This New England Style Home Decor
Our mission at Threshold & Gate
A division of Linda Smith Davis' New England Fine Living, LLC.
Inspired by New England's rich history, refined classic style, and slow-paced lifestyle my hopes are to inspire you to create your own version of fine living at home or while you're out and about.
Whether it's a treasure from the past, or a new item from today, the beautiful collections I've curated will help you tell a story about your life and how you enjoy your own version of fine living, without saying a single word. If I wouldn't use a product myself, gift to a family member, or give to a friend, you won't see it here as one of our special offerings.
Whether it's here, my blog, or my YouTube channel (New England Fine Living), my hopes are to help you find your own version of Fine Living, no matter how simple or grand that may be, no matter where you live.
Love Linda - A Kindred Spirit
What is Linda Smith Davis' Grand Union Design Style?
In a nutshell: The Grand Union Style is a distinctive interior design style that is focused on relaxed, yet refined ,interiors inspired by New England's history. This design style showcases the rich heritage, design styles, and items one might have found in New England's historic homes, inns, and taverns, while incorporating design influences and products from the original 13 colonies, the British Isles and Western Europe. The Grand Union style is also a thoughtful curated blend " or a grand union" of family heirlooms, found pre-loved items, and a few new items that work together seamlessly. This style evokes old-world charm, timeless relaxed elegance, family heritage, yet offers modern comfort.
A home decorated in that Grand Union style is welcoming, approachable, and meant to be enjoyed by family and friends vs a home full of museum quality items that have a don't touch or don't use feel.
