While furniture hunting and shopping for the studio, I couldn’t quite find the right credenza to fit the space that didn’t come with an insane price tag so I looked to ikea, per usual, and started doodling in my notebook to design a piece using their “besta” cabinets as building blocks. I wanted there to […]
I’ve been buying up all kinds of woven bag, for myself and for gifts, like crazy! It’s one trend I am fully on board with and so happy there are so many good ones out there right now, so I’ve rounded up a few of my faves for your shopping pleasure. x Gaia Ark Bag […]
If you read yesterday’s post, you saw that we’ve set up a bed to temporarily convert my studio back to a guest house. You see, we have family coming to visit for the holidays and without any spare bedrooms in the house, I wanted to make sure they had a comfortable place to welcome them. […]
Well, I’ve switched some things up a bit… there’s a bedroom in our studio! We have family coming in for the holidays so I’ve temporarily converted the studio to a guesthouse. When Archie arrived we transformed our only guest room to his nursery, which left us with no space for family to stay, other than crashing […]
A few months back one of my favorite design firms, Consort, reached out to me about a house they were designing in Hollywood and I ended up making a custom mobile for the nursery, inspired by the one I made for Archer. The house belonged to Erin Fetherson and out came Domino Magazine where it was featured in the […]
I bucked my fairly neutral usual packing strategy and filled my bag with a palette inspired by the high desert landscape of our destination… Utah! You may remember one of my favorite trips from a couple years back when we did THIS ROADTRIP but this time we are headed straight to Utah and staying there. Here’s […]
Pattern mixing, layers, and a little animal print, is one of my go-to recipes for interiors and entertaining, so it makes sense that it translates right into my wardrobe as well. Old Navy invited me to try share how I translate that look into my every day with pieces from their latest collection and I was pretty excited to […]
Out with the old and in with the new. We tore down the old pergola which was completely rotted, and about to fall down on its’ own at any moment, and the new one is up! And now we have to decide on the exterior paint color! Currently it is a dark brown and I […]
I’ve been working with a beautiful apothecary company on a few projects lately and meanwhile completely fell in love with the brand. Founded by make-up artist Rosie Jane Johnston, By Rosie Jane is a local LA based company whose products are handcrafted in small batch runs and made using natural and organic ingredients. From the […]
I am a total holiday nerd, I think we’ve covered that before, so to me, Halloween is the mark of the beginning of my favorite time of year. And while I have never really dived into Halloween decor I wanted to have a little dinner party for a few girlfriends, so tonight is the night! What usually comes […]
I put a few finishing touches on our family room with the help of Lulu & Georgia and thought it was time I share the before and after of the space! Lulu & Georgia is one of my new go-to spots for decorative home items and as I shopped the site I found so many […]
It’s Monday morning and I just took my tiny commute to our new office and I’m thrilled to share the finished tour with you. It all started with white paint, and a whole $&*# ton of it. The floor is a white epoxy and the walls, trim, and ceiling is Decorator’s White by Benjamin Moore. […]
I am a bit of a rug hoarder and I am often asked where I find the vintage ones, so I wanted to introduce you to my favorite source… Frances Loom. Kelly, of Frances Loom, has an incredible eye and I have 5 rugs from her site that I have collected over the course of a […]
Happy Monday! This weekend I literally stopped to smell the roses. SO MANY ROSES. It was one of my favorite events of the year, the Veuve Cliquot Polo Classic, where our usual sunday hiking spot (Will Rogers State Park) is transformed into the dreamiest event, dripping with flowers, champagne, and the best people watching you could […]
While our A-frame still has no bathroom, about a half of a kitchen, and is covered in saw dust, we are getting extra familiar with all the hotels and lodging options in Palm Springs. One of my favorite Airbnb’s in the area is The Amado where we stayed this week while checking in on the construction of our […]
This post is an advertisement by Cotton. I love the simplicity of one long accent pillow on a bed, it feels finished without being fussy and makes making the bed extra easy. I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect extra-long lumbar pillow basically ever since I made our headboard (2 years-ish ago), but none have really jumped […]
