Have you all heard of Loloi rugs? They recently sent me over a video they created that captures the process behind their handcrafted rugs and I was pretty blown away. #1 it makes me want to go to India #2 it makes me appreciate my always growing rug collection even more and #3 gets the […]
These photos make my heart swell times x a bazillion so today I am selfishly sharing photos of Archer’s 1st birthday (and my 34th) party. I shared a few sneak peeks via instagram but I had Birds of a Feather shoot so I could enjoy the party and know all the memory capturing was in […]
It only took me two years but I finally decided on a chandelier for over the dining table. I rounded up a few of my favorites, way back when, but never pulled the trigger. Chandeliers are so expensive and I wanted something that would complement the other light fixtures but make a statement in it’s […]
We are planning a trip to Florida to visit family (Rupert’s mom and my sister), and I did a little online shopping to fill my suitcase. Here are a few items that made the cut… Wide Brim Hat // Denim Dress // Sunglasses // Black Heeled Sandals // Blush Tote // Halter Bikini Top // Midi […]
What do you do when you, your son, and Johnny Cash all share a birthday? Duh… you throw a Johnny Cash themed party! And that is what we did for Archie’s first and my {cough cough} thirty fourth. If you follow along on Instagram you’ve already seen these few peeks from the day, but more to […]
I’ve been working with a client in Palm Springs to furnish a newly renovated house and we are coming up on the final install so I thought I’d share the design board for the living area. She had a few pieces already in place, like the sofa and the butterfly chair, so jumping off from there I created […]
It has already started to heat up around these parts and I am looking forward to using more and more of our backyard again. We built the benches two years ago creating an outdoor living room/lounge area that we love. The benches are still looking great however the grass to the left of the lounge […]
Did you all have a mushy gushy Valentine’s Day? We went to the beach, but it was so foggy the sand was still wet and Archie wasn’t a fan of the sand being stuck to his everything. ha! Then in the afternoon I did a weaving class with a friend which is very non-lovey dovey […]
A couple weeks back I partnered with Dove in a “trend crawl” which took me around to a few of my favorite LA spots with a handful of fashion and beauty experts. Our first stop was at the Avalon Hotel where we had lunch at the restaurant Viviane and chatted about spring trends. As with […]
I still remember when my Michigan raised self took my first trip to New York as a teenager and discovered H&M. The malls and shopping where I grew up didn’t have such stores, the only place to shop for anything fashion forward was TJ Maxx, and of course I am aging myself, but online shopping wasn’t […]
I am no stranger to an IKEA HACK and when I saw this moose (which is pretty cute on it’s own), I got to thinking… the red doesn’t match my color scheme and I wasn’t a fan of the piercing, but what if… And this furry rocking sheep was the result. Keep reading for the how-to…
Well we are fast approaching Archer’s first birthday so I figured it was time to remove the bassinet (sniffle sniffle). I am still in search of the perfect bench or stools for the base of the bed to fill the void in my heart room from where the cradle was, but I’ve added a couple new […]
It’s my favorite kind of post day… a final tour and before & afters! Here we are in the main bath, where we turned a ‘three different shades of pink palace‘ into a ‘soothing modern mini spa’. To recap… about a year ago we gutted the entire space and started from scratch. I ordered every single […]
My favorite winter piece this year has been this faux fur green beaut of a jacket…
Let’s talk family photos, shall we? Being the overzealous avid picture taker, I figured I would have tons of photos of Archer growing up, which of course I do on my iPhone but I have only taken out my good camera to shoot him a total of three times. PATHETIC! The iPhone is obviously super convenient […]
The first room we are going to tackle in project A-frame is the living room, because… windows! You can’t beat those windows, they make this space the heart of the A-frame. I want to make this the room that we want to hang out in all. day. long. I forgot to take a photo last […]
