Bringing personal touches into a home is always high on my priority list when designing spaces for myself and for others. One of my favorite ways to do this is to incorporate artwork created from memories or photos that mean something to me and Shutterfly makes it super easy. Whether you are looking to get […]
I probably say this with every new space but this might go down as one of my all time favorite bathrooms I’ve designed. The color palette, the fixtures and the extra special floor, I just can’t wait for it to all come to life. So many little details went into this room and a little […]
I’m pretty sure a cocoon dress might be the most comfortable and surprisingly flattering maternity silhouette out there. I have basically been rotating 3 cocoon dresses throughout the entire pregnancy and the best part is it is completely flattering without a bump as well. Somehow Miranda Bennett has figured out such a magic shape perfectly […]
You’re probably thinking, that looks nothing like a nursery and you are right because this was/is our family room/Archie’s playroom. We have a two bedroom house (i.e. small) and sleep is VERY important to me so I am not into the toddler sharing a room with a baby thing so we are planning to convert […]
It is just starting to get into the really good season for Palm Springs so I am ecstatic to take full advantage of all the outdoor space at the A-frame and I am equally thrilled to be able to share the full exterior tour today! We worked on the landscaping of the a-frame bit by […]
I’m using the term “artful modern” again to describe today’s high/low look but this time it’s in the living room. It is a simple term but it sums up how I strive to make each piece special by looking for unique silhouettes and shapes in furniture so that the pieces of the room become like […]
A while back, I shared the design plans for the Oh Joy studio kitchen and today I get to share the final space, complete with a couple before & afters! I have to say, at first, it was a little intimidating designing a space for such a well known power house of a brand as […]
I’m about 32 weeks pregnant today and am still finding lots of non maternity options that work so well with or without a bump, like this off the shoulder dress from Urban. Even though it still feels like summer here, the color palette of the dress is getting me in the mood for fall, and […]
Whenever I am looking for an extra special or unique piece, Candelabra is one of my favorite sites to scope out. Of course you can have style and a beautiful space on a budget but when I can, I always try and do a mix of high and low pieces. More often than not, the […]
Last week we threw a little party to kick off the launch of my wallpaper line with Lulu and Georgia and I truly felt like the belle of the ball. I have so many plates spinning at the moment that it felt really nice to pause, gather some friends and fellow female entrepreneurs and celebrate […]
When Bri of Design Love Fest bought her new house she settled in fairly quickly but one room that went relatively untouched was the dining room. When she reached out to me to design her patio space she also wanted to tackle a few other areas in the house and the neglected dining was next […]
Most would assume being pregnant in the dog days of summer is not the greatest timing, luckily where I live in LA it usually never gets too too hot (last week aside) because being by the ocean keeps the temps lower. So, for me, it is kind of ideal timing. It means I can wear […]
I’ve got some news about everyone’s favorite This is Us mama, Mandy Moore! Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get any plot lines for the new season out of her, but at least I have some updates on the house. The mid-century home renovation is moving right along and today I’m sharing our plans for the kitchen! […]
I don’t think I will ever get over pink, millennial or otherwise, it is such a versatile color with it’s light shade and it looks good with practically every color. Even orange! Image by Anna Pirkola // Painting by Emilie Lindsten // Image from Olive & June I don’t typically gravitate to, or even like, orange […]
You may have caught on Instagram a while back that I introduced the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence into my beauty routine. I have been using it for about a month now and I’m here to report back on my findings! First, let me start off by saying, I did not actually really have a beauty routine. Up […]
Today’s high/low look is all about the entryway. This space is often overlooked which is so sad because it is the first thing guests see on arrival. Even if you’re small on space you can find a few special things to make your entry high on style. SO many people ask me about my front […]
