Happy Halloween! And how about our black house?! I couldn’t love it more and it couldn’t be any more perfect of a backdrop for today’s holiday. More on the house and the paint job soon but I wanted to share our halloween decor because, it was too much fun dressing up our new porch, how […]
The first, and only (lord help us), room we have renovated in our Michigan fixer (aka #samuelfamilyfixer) is finished! Well, relatively anyway. We still need to remove the baseboard heater and install some new lighting and that will be happening once we start the main phase of construction. Before we even left LA we teamed […]
It has been a minute since we checked in with the Oh Joy office. She revealed the main office while we were road tripping across the country, so I didn’t get a chance to share over here but this past weekend it was featured in the LA Times (woot!) which reminded me to get it […]
One of my favorite breakfast spots in LA is the relatively new, Great White in Venice. It has a beautiful rustic beach shack vibe with white plaster built-ins, rattan lamps, wood seating, loads of plants and then the addition of modern art and gorgeous marble accents add some polish. Oh and the food!… just as […]
I’m wrapping up the tours of our Moore Residence project today with the very last one in the family room. The space’s dreamy color palette is the sum of different hues that were woven throughout the house as if this one room ties the whole project together. Just like the rest of the house, the […]
I saved a couple of the best room tours in our Mandy Moore house project for last… one is the library nook that we carved out of an un-used hallway by creating the built-in sofa to cozy up in and shelves to house Taylor’s book collection. As you will see in some of the before […]
We are in the home stretch of our Mandy Moore house tour. Sidenote: I forgot how long it takes to put these posts together, you know all the sizing photos, linking sources, and then actually writing about it. Time is something not on my side at the moment so thank you for being patient in […]
My love for cane furniture is still going strong and there have been so many cane bed options popping up, I thought it would be a perfect jumping off point for another high/low room design. For the lower priced design we used two twin beds together to make one but this bed is also a […]
Last week I travelled to San Diego with LG for the home technology tradeshow, Cedia Expo. I don’t typically take part in tech tradeshows (although from now on I just might because I was definitely nerding out over the next big thing in televisions) but I was there to install the “urban living room” space […]
A couple weeks ago I had to travel back to LA for work, and I got the chance to zip up north to partner with Cambria Estate Winery! I sat down with their winemaker, Jill Russell, to chat about the craft of winemaking and the importance of female leadership at Cambria. I often get asked […]
Between the two guest bedrooms in our Moore Residential project is a shared jack & jill bathroom, or as one reader commented, it should be called a Jack & Rebecca bath! No matter what it’s called it sure does have it all. And by all I mean ALL the things I could ever want in […]
Thank you to Shutterfly for sponsoring this post! All opinions are my own. The rest of the house is in complete shambles but we managed to carve out this little space for Clover in the meantime. I used a painters tape to create the pattern on the wall, the whole thing took me only a […]
I already shared a peek into this guest bedroom from Mandy Moore’s house a while back, but we were missing some final touches like the art and mirror so I’m happy to share the photos of the finished space! It’s light and inviting, mostly neutral but with just a touch of blush and a pop […]
This post is sponsored by American Express. Thank you for supporting our partnering brands! If you guys have been following me on Instagram, you might have caught a glimpse of our recent cross-country road-trip. Rupert and I bought a new (old) house in Michigan, packed up our Los Angeles house (the photo above was just […]
This stunning little bathroom is right at the front of the Moore house and is mostly just used by Mandy and Taylor’s guests. Previously it was quite dark institutional. There wasn’t anything special about it so we gave it a full overhaul, brightening it up with all white walls and a sleek built-in sink to […]
If you’ve been following along my IG stories, you know I have had my mind on exteriors since we have been working on ours at our #samuelfamilyfixer this week. So while I have been sharing the Mandy Moore project tours here, I couldn’t help but jump to her homes’ exterior. I sure do miss having […]
