THE TRUITT HOUSE EDIT
Come with us as we tell meaningful stories of preservation, restoration and hospitality. Explore Suffolk, Virginia’s rich history and share in our favorite experiences at The Truitt House.
Super Fun, Friend-Pleasing, Yes-I’ll-Have-Another Desserts
During our warm Virginia summer season, I try to keep the dinners light—but let’s be honest, I’m still going to want dessert. So I rely on a simple truth: the freezer never lets me down. When it’s too hot to bake and too late to run to the store, I turn to my stash. Whether we’re dining al fresco on the terrace or having an impromptu evening in the dining room, I’ve always got something sweet (and wildly satisfying) ready to go.
Soft Clothes, Full Hearts, and a Charcuterie Board
A cozy Sunday night at The Truitt House turned into the perfect gathering of old friends—with soft clothes, shared stories, and a relaxed charcuterie-style supper. In this post, we share our favorite kind of effortless entertaining: low-key, high-comfort hospitality that’s all about good food, meaningful conversation, and making time for the people who matter most. Plus, a peek into the woodshop for a behind-the-scenes look at Brian’s latest handmade board in a classic tumbling block design.
Westover Spring Luncheon at The Truitt House
A spring send-off with the Westover Garden Club—part potluck, part salad art show, and full of the kind of friendship and fun that makes hosting a joy. It was a beautiful afternoon celebration of a year well spent, all around the table at The Truitt House.
