Many of my favorite bathrooms have tiled floors AND walls and since I love that look I thought I’d share what I look for in a good tile pairing. It’s essentially just like mixing patterns in your wardrobe, which I can never get enough of, and it’s even better when bringing it into the home. My […]

Speaking of bathrooms… I mentioned last week that the nesting bug bit and I decided I needed a new bathroom NOW. The original bathroom is the last remaining room of the house that we hadn’t renovated. We have always planned on “someday” renovating it but when I started to use the small bathtub to ease […]

Up until my pregnancy I had never tried yoga, (which you can probably tell from my horrendous form, and how so very un-califorinian of me!) however, staying active and gaining strength throughout my pregnancy was a priority so I couldn’t think of a better time to start. Old Navy provided me with some extra incentive […]

from the weekend: showers, house guests, maternity shoots, renovations… oh my!

2015 has officially started off with a BIG bang in all the best ways. Over the weekend I worked with photographers Katherine and Luke of Max and Friends to document this mama to be time in my life and they couldn’t have been sweeter or more talented to work with. I’ve only gotten a little […]

Happy first of the year! I’m taking a quick moment to look back at some of my favorite posts from 2014… #1. I moved in to my new studio space, built DIY shelves, settled in with a lot of plants, and finished it off with the perfect light and some DIY artwork. #2. Rupert turned 40 this year! We […]

Here’s a peek into our house as decorated for Christmas. Better late than never right?, and who knows I may never take down that little white tree… … and certainly not this DIY wall hanging. 🙂 I wanted the holiday decorations to blend with the decor but still add all that extra sparkle that makes […]

I hope you all had a great Christmas. Rupert and I spent ours hunkered down with just the 2 (.5) of us and the dogs. It was the first time we didn’t travel to see family and I definitely missed them and the snow, but it was also really special knowing that it will be the […]

from the weekend: baby showers, beautiful kitchens, and holiday fun

This week started off with a bang so excuse my weekend post on a Tuesday night! I am still recovering from the festivities and I’m noticing you don’t bounce back as quick at 31 weeks pregnant. Sunday started and ended with a party and we had gatherings in between, keeping me up well past my […]

I’ve always been a fan of the pencil skirt and the silhouette has come even more of a staple in my wardrobe during my pregnancy.
