The Salt Report | Volume I

Welcome to The Salt Report, your inside peek at what our team is loving right now, from favorite products to fresh inspiration and lifestyle finds. We kick the series off with our Founder and Creative Director Sarah Brady, read on to get to know her and what she's currently coveting.

A Trend Catching My Eye

Stripping things back but keeping spaces inviting with soft textures, earthy tones, and natural wood. This dining room from our Riverside Drive Project is the perfect example.

Where I'm Getting Inspiration

This season always makes me crave richer color and cozy, layered textures. I keep gravitating toward deeper tones and those tactile, lived-in details that add so much depth to a space. I’m heading to Italy tonight and can’t wait to soak in the architecture, history, and honestly, even the everyday rituals. I know I’ll come back buzzing with inspiration, and I’m excited to weave those discoveries into future projects in thoughtful, layered ways.

What I'm Using to Style

Building on the idea of layering, I’m drawn to sculptural vessels and taper holders in varying heights, striking accents that bring dimension to a neutral palette.

What's In My Shopping Cart

This Farm Rio maxi in cream and earthy prints has been perfect with sandals for summer, and I can’t wait to style it with suede boots as it gets cooler! Lately, I’ve been gravitating toward tailoring with a sense of ease, a tailored blazer paired with effortless denim, finished with a sleek belt for the perfect take on transitional style.

My Dining Destination

One of my favorite spots in Rumson is River Pointe Inn, perfect for both a night out with my husband or catching up with girlfriends. The menu is exceptional, and the wine selection is equally impressive.

What I'm Making

Now that the kids are back in school, weeknights feel busier than ever, and I’m always on the hunt for quick, healthy dinners that everyone will actually eat (no small feat!). Lately, this Half Baked Harvest recipe has been on repeat in our house. The flavors are cozy, slightly sweet, and just bold enough without scaring off picky eaters. 

Bonus: it makes amazing leftovers for lunch the next day.
