As the days start to get cooler and summer travel fades, I always feel like fall is a time to slow down and reflect. Last year was a hard one for many reasons, but along with the trials came many blessings. My youngest was in a bad accident less than a year ago and is completely healed. I recently hurt my finger, and when I got my stitches out, he was asking me how it felt. I said there were so many things that could have been a lot worse this year. His response was, “Mom, we are thriving and making lemonade!” Which is completely true—and I’m grateful.
Interiors and Insider Guide
In the Fall 2025 issue, we’re shining a light on creativity, beauty and seasonal inspiration—with a special spotlight on Washington, D.C. Along with insider tips to enjoy our nation’s capital and its many attractions, Contributing Editor and Partnership Director Bek Mitchell-Kidd features a stunning transitional new-build home in the Palisades neighborhood, a perfect example of modern elegance blended with timeless details, and a view of the Potomac River.
Inspiration
Bek also highlights the incredible work of DC Central Kitchen. By addressing the root causes of hunger and poverty in D.C., this nonprofit continues to transform lives through food and community.
Spotlights
You’ll meet artist Leslie Archer, a D.C.-area native, whose work captures both emotion and movement. And learn how Sapelo Skin Care is turning the beauty industry on its head with a revolutionary approach that nurtures the skin’s natural renewal process—without the injury and inflammation that have long defined traditional treatments.
