We couldnt say YES fast enough when Traditional Home asked us to design a room for their Napa Valley Showhouse this year. Located at Charles Krug, which happens to be the oldest winery in the area, we took on the task of designing the front sitting room in Peter Mondavi Jr.s former home located on the property.

Tory Burchs house in Southampton instantly came to mind as inspiration a chic layered look with a global flair. We selected Meg Braffs Ferns wallpaper as the perfect canvas to complement Napas understated, yet charming atmosphere. From there we brought in muted tones of jade green, slate blue, and coral mixed with brass accents. Our goal was to stay true to the surroundings but with a touch of glamour and sophistication.

A HUGE thank you to all the vendors that donated and loaned us everything for the space. It couldnt have been done without their enormous generositywere so excited to finally reveal the finished product!

Be gone ugly beige carpet and boring white walls! Meet your new friendswe think youll like them much better.

Meg Braffs grey and white Ferns wallpaper was the first thing we selected to set the tone for the whole room. The wall-to-wall sisal from Holland & Sherry gives a casual & inviting vibe layered with a 1940s vintage Moroccan rug.

Weve been lusting after these chairs from Jeffrey Alan Marks collection for Palecek for a while so we were really excited to finally use them. The cushions and throw pillows on the sofa are upholstered in our favorite MK Collection fabric Spot On in Arctic.

The ceilings, doors, and trim are painted in Benjamin Moores Chantilly Lace one of our go-to paint colors!

The oversize brass mirror from Made Goods serves as a focal point over a parchment covered console and hide benches from Coup dEtat in San Francisco. The pair of table lamps are from Ro Sham Beaux with custom silk shades and the framed Mandalas are from Harbinger.

The Parisian inspired settee is from Cisco Homewhich is off set with jade green garden stools from Made Goods. The vintage 1970s metal floor lamps (complete with a pair ofStrawberry Fields Foreverfinials!)and glass cocktail tables are also from Coup dEtat.

Books are the best accessory! Thank you so much to Martin Showroom and Ma(i)sonry (two must-visit design stores in Napa) for letting us borrow these fabulous tomes for our room.

Inner Gardens provided the tree and square basket. The barware is from the online shop of yours truly and the art is by Alex K. Mason.

Fully stocked!

The giant marble bowl and shagreen box are from Made Goods. The gorgeous succulent arrangement was done by local floral designer Julie Stevens.

Julie also did this pretty little arrangement of pink dahlias.

The African bone beads are also from Martin Showroom in St. Helena.

The Showhouse is open until November 17th so if youre in Napa be sure to check it out and have a wine tasting while youre at it! More info here.

And an extra special thanks to Patrick Cline for taking all these gorgeous photographs. Check out his new website UPLO if you havent already an awesome way of printing and sharing photos that were totally addicted to!

Xoxo Hillary

Clinton said the Russian hacking was "almost unthinkable" and compared the intrusions into a variety of Democratic bodies to Watergate, the infamous break-in of the Democratic National Committee in 1972 by aides close to then President Richard Nixon.

"This is like Watergate only now in cyber time," Clinton said during her in flight press conference, echoing a comment Tim Kaine, her vice presidential nominee, made this week.

"It is stunning that we are facing this and especially from a foreign power that has the capacity, with the consensus is that they have used, to extract information and to enable that information to be made public."

US intelligence officials say there is strong evidence showing Russian intelligence behind hacks into the DNC and attempted hacks into other Democratic organizations.

Clinton said it was "interesting that this activity has happened around the time Trump became the nominee" and said the Republican nominee's ties to Putin -- including glowing statements -- "raises even more serious questions about Trump."

"Look, he very early on allied himself with Putin's policies," Clinton added. "He seems to have this bizarre attraction to dictators, including Putin."

On the Russian president, Clinton said it was "very clear [Putin] is quite satisfied with himself" for the intrusions.

While speaking to the American Legion, a veterans' organization, last month, Clinton said she would treat cyber attacks "just like any other attack" and would "be ready with serious political, economic and military responses."

Clinton started flying with her campaign press corps on Monday, debuting a Boeing 737 plane for the next 63 days of the campaign. In flight, Clinton headed to the back of the plane and took over a dozen questions from reporters. This is the first time Clinton took questions from her traveling press corps since Ashland, Ohio on July 31.

During the question and answer, Clinton responded FBI notes on her interview with the investigative body and denied that she knew anything about aides wiping her server with a sophisticated program known as BleachBit.

"I don't know anything about that," Clinton said. "That was not something I was aware of and I think the fact point out that there was no connection. It wasn't something, as far as I understand, that was related."

Clinton's conversation with reporters was cut shot during her flight because she had a fit of coughs while answering a question. Clinton suffered a similar couch attack earlier in the day during a rally in Cleveland.

Clinton dismissed conspiracy theories about her health that have festered, in part, because of her coughing attacks.

"I am not concerned about the conspiracy theories," she said. "There are so many of them I have lost track of them. So I pay no attention to them."

Asked if they were sexist, Clinton simply said, "Hmmmmmm."

EXCLUSIVE

Hillary Clinton told ABC News' David Muir today that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, should not have to step down before the election from his position at the Clinton Foundation.

"I don't think there are conflicts of interest," the Democratic presidential nominee said in a joint interview today with running mate Sen. Tim Kaine. "I know that that's what has been alleged and never proven. But nevertheless, I take it seriously."

To watch David Muir's interview with Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine, watch "Good Morning America" at 7 a.m. Tuesday and "World News Tonight" at 6:30 p.m.

"I'm very proud of the work that the Clinton Foundation has done," Clinton said. "It's a world-renowned charity because of the work that my husband started and many, many people helped him with. ... He started this great work. He has made it his life's work, after the presidency. And he has said, if I am so fortunate enough to be elected, he will not be involved. And I think that is appropriate."

Clinton Foundation Official Requests State Lunch Invitation, Special Seating for Foundation Allies, Emails Show

Clinton Foundation to Close Overseas Fundraising Branches If Hillary Clinton Wins

In August, a conservative group shared emails with ABC News that it said revealed new evidence that allies of the Clinton Foundation had received special treatment. Conservative groups also released government email traffic and internal call logs that showed foundation donors also sought and at times got special favors and access to the State Department.

Clinton said today that no decision she'd ever made as secretary of state had been "influenced by anybody."

"I feel very good about the work of the foundation. I feel very good about my service as secretary of state. No decision I ever made was influenced by anybody. What I made a decision based on was what was good for the United States, what was good for our values, our interests, and our security. And the State Department has confirmed there's no evidence of any such influence at all.

"All of these questions about the Clinton Foundation, I am more than happy to answer," she said. "But I do hope that people will take a look at what the foundation has done, what charitable enterprises it's involved in. ... No decision I made was, you know, influenced by anything other than doing what was best for the United States."

SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER Susan Sarandon refused toendorse Democrat presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton in a hypothetical matchup between Clinton and presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, telling Larry King in an interview that a number of unforeseen things could still happen to prevent Clinton from clinching her Partys nomination.

In an interview with King on Monday, the 69-year-old Oscar-winning actress said she would wait and see what happens before endorsing a candidate in what is presumed to be a Trump-Clinton general election matchup this fall.

Im not saying I endorse Hillary, the Thelma and Louise star told King. Im not. Im gonna say Im gonna wait and see what happens. Theres a lot of things that could happen.

When pressed by an incredulous King as to what might happen to prevent Clinton from advancing to the general, a defiant Sarandon replied: So many things.

She could have health issues. She could not get the nomination, Sarandon added.

You think Bernie [Sanders] could get it? King asked.

Yeah, I think he can, she responded. Hes a miracle that hes even in this. I think that now hes been to the Pope, maybe theres another miracle thats going to happen.

Clinton currently leads Sanders by a wide margin in both pledged delegates and so-called superdelegates, Democrat party insiders and officials who may cast a vote for whomever they please regardless of primary outcome. According to CBS News, Clinton needs only to win 17 percent of the remaining pledged delegates to secure the Democrat nomination outright.

Clintons health has long been an issue in this years election cycle, most recently when the candidate disappeared fromthe ABC Democratic presidential debate stage in December for an extended period of time for what her campaign said was an extended bathroom break. Breitbart News previously reported that a law enforcement source believed the extended break stemmed from a flare-up of a previous brain injury, though the Clinton campaign refuted the report.

Sarandon is one of Sanders most vocal celebrity supporters. In February, the actress wrote on Twitter that it is insulting that other people think she would vote for Clinton based on gender alone, writing: I dont vote with my vagina. The actress has also said that passionate and principled Sanders supporters may have trouble voting for Clinton in a general election.

The top finding: Clinton seemed repeatedly unable to recall key information about her use of a private email server as secretary of state. Here are some other highlights from the new documents.

On 39 separate occasions, Clinton told the FBI that she did not "recall" or remember key elements of the training or classified information process.

In regards to an email with classification markings, Clinton said she did not know what they meant and speculated it indicated paragraph markings.

According to the report, Clinton said "she did not pay attention to the 'level' of classified information and took all classified information seriously. CLINTON was not concerned the displayed email contained classified information. CLINTON believed the email amounted to a 'condolence call' and questioned the classification level."

Clinton repeatedly said she had no reason to think emails to her contained info that was inappropriate for personal email. She said she trusted those emailing understood what was appropriate.

"Clinton did not recall receiving any emails she thought she should not be on an unclassified system," the report read. "She relied on State officials to use their judgment when emailing her and could not recall anyone raising concerns with her regarding the sensitivity of the information she received at her email address."

Clinton defended discussion of the Obama administration's controversial drone program in emails on her server, saying she felt conversation was "part of the routine deliberation process" and "did not give her cause for concern" regarding classification. She recalled many conversations about future strikes "that never occurred."

The former secretary of state said she thought drone strike information classification "depended on the context," noting it was an important tool but "frequently in the press."

Clinton said it was well known she used that email address: "At least a hundred, if not several hundred State employees" had that contact info.

Yet some State employees said they did not know her actual address since she appeared merely as the letter "H" in the sender field of the email. And "the majority" of Clinton's aides interviewed by the FBI, including her most senior staffers, did not know of the home server until it became publicly reported or after Clinton left the State Department.

Clinton said she did not have conversations with anyone "with regard to using the server to avoid" Freedom of Information Act regulations. Clinton denied that avoiding FOIA rules was a reason for setting up the system.

Clinton's correspondence with confidante Sidney Blumenthal has drawn particular scrutiny. But Clinton said that while Blumenthal is a "prodigious" writer, she said the information he provided was "sometimes accurate and sometimes not."

Regarding an email asking an aide to remove markings, Clinton said she was directing him to create talking points and "had no intention to remove classification markings." She explained she thought a "non paper" was a way to convey the unofficial stance of the US government to foreign governments.

Clinton's team had an "oh s*** moment" in late March of last year, according to the report. A few weeks after The New York Times first revealed the information about Clinton's private email use, a person -- whose name has been redacted -- "deleted the Clinton archive mailbox" and "used BleachBit to delete the exported .PST files he had created on the server system containing Clinton's emails."
