After living with my pink sofa in the studio for a while now I thought mayyyybe I would get over it, but I haven’t. It still makes me smile on the daily, and now I’ve been seeing pink sofas all over the place so I’ve rounded up my current faves so you can get the […]
If you have been following me around on Instagram or Snapchat (@sarahssamuel) you know I’m in New York this week. Before I left I dropped into the Trunk Club LA location because my ‘new mom’, ‘laid back california’, ‘work for yourself’, wardrobe needed a serious tune-up before the trip. Trunk Club recently opened up their services […]
Created with Petco Pet adoption has always been near and dear to my heart. I wish I could personally house all the homeless pets out there but for now Rupe has limited me to our two (adorable) dogs. However, I am gearing up for the second annual ‘Clear the Shelters‘ pet adoption campaign, coming up […]
I’m excited to share a kind of a dream project that I’ve been working on for Bri Emery of Design Love Fest. Her patio is TO DIE FOR so when she came to me for help with the design and furniture selects in the space I couldn’t wait to get started. She wanted it to […]
A couple weeks ago I invited a few of my favorite boss lady friends over to break in the new studio. I’ve been working so much lately and all the women that came are killing it too so I used the newly finished space as an excuse to lure them all over to take a […]
Well ‘knock on wood’, we found a new contractor! I am not sure why it has been so hard to track someone down for this project but I hope you guys have been bearing with me while we get all that sorted out. I don’t remember if I shared, but we need a new roof, […]
I’ve been wearing this dress on the regular, to meetings, to the pool, on lunch dates, and to the huntington gardens. So basically everywhere, and to get even more wear out of it, when there’s a bit of a chill in the air, I’ve been throwing a pair of jeans on underneath. I didn’t think I was […]
Hey guys, we are growing over here and I am looking for the next hire! I am looking to fill two positions. First, is an on-site Los Angeles based designer/creative dynamo. We are a small studio so I am looking for someone who can wear a lot of different hats and thrives in a fast paced environment. I […]
Excuse the absence this week. I am still playing catch up from the holiday weekend… Send help! We spent a couple days in Palm Springs, checking in on the A-frame (update coming soon!) and beating the 100 degree + heat with some pool time at the Avalon Hotel. After a rough couple weeks of at […]
It’s a shame we don’t really use this back corner of our yard enough year round, but it’s that time of year when we have dusted off the cushions and are putting it to good use again. Especially for happy hour use. I teamed up with Target again to deck it out and throw a […]
Last year my friend Kristina finished renovating her home from top to bottom. She selected all the fixtures and finishes herself while managing all the sub-contractors. The house turned out AMAZING but after undertaking such a huge project, being a mother to two boys, and co-running her blog 100 Layer Cake, she ran out of […]
Be still my heart… this room! I came across this space in Australia designed by Whiting Architects (shot by Sharyn Cairns) recently and about had a heart attack from all the good going on in there. The neutral color palette with that gorgeous shade of green (so close to the green of my kitchen!), the laid […]
I finally found the culottes of my dreams and have been wearing the heck out of them ever since…
We are back with another installment from the “real mom series“. I have to admit I am more excited to read the other mama’s input on this topic than I am to write it… you see, Archer is 15 months old and we have just begun putting plans together for his education and boy can it be […]
Sometimes a space just calls for backless stools… when you have a pretty bar that you don’t want hidden or when you are going for a minimal look with clean sight lines, they can be the answer. I’ve been searching for some recently and have rounded up a few of my favorites out there right now. CUSHIONED // HEMI […]
Last week I had the pleasure of co-hosting an opening party for one of my favorite paint brands, Farrow & Ball. They have just opened a new showroom in Pasadena and along with the event, they asked me to create an IRL “city palette” moodboard inspired by the city, to showcase at the party. I […]
