Recently, I had the pleasure of working with photographer Lou Mora for a little “day in the life” series. He literally followed me around with a camera for a day, while I worked in my studio, took a coffee break, walked the dogs, and stuck my head in some bougainvillea (as I do, habitually of […]
This weekend we mostly lazed around the house, I took naps BOTH days. A+ for me in the sleep department. Rupe also planted a new tree in our front yard while I read a book in the shade. Hope you had a relaxing weekend. x Image by sarah sherman samuel via iphone & instagram (I’m […]
We have some big news to share! Turn your volume up and press play! Rupert wrote this silly, and adorable, little poem for me on our anniversary a couple weeks ago and I thought it would be the perfect way to reveal what we have been up to the last few months and why I […]
Hope you guys had a beautiful three-day weekend. Unfortunately, I spent most of mine working but it wasn’t so bad since I am pretty excited about most of the things I’ve been working on (one of which I will share about tomorrow with my first ever video project!). I also was able to squeak out […]
There is nothing like squeezing out the last days of summer with a picnic in your own backyard and while I am still in our lovey dovey Anniversary mode, I thought it would be fun to create an intimate picnic for two. Just the ticket for a date night in or to celebrate something special. […]
Last week Rupe and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary. If you remember from last year, we take turns planning a trip for the occasion and this year was my turn. Growing up my family did a lot of traveling around the states and I love that I get to show my English husband […]
I’m so excited to be co-hosting the “end of summer social” with Urbanic this year! If you have been to one of their events before, you know how much fun they are and we have a great line-up of vendors to help make it extra special. We will also be debuting the first ever A […]
One can never have enough stools, poufs or ottomans in his or her life. Used as a footstool, a resting place for your bum, or as a side table, these little workhorses are as beautiful as they are versatile. Target sent me the stool I picked out from their new Room Essentials line last week […]
This weekend I had a busy work schedule with a fun project I am working on for Gap, but I was able to enlist the help of my friends making it seem much less like work and a lot more like a party (the best kind of work day). I can’t wait to share what […]
Hey guys our bathroom is finished! I still have to add in the final accessories (towel hooks, toilet paper holder, soap dispensers, rug, etc. etc) but at least we have a brand spanking new and usable bathroom. We also just passed our final inspection and everything got approved by the city, so our 2 bed/1bath […]
In honor of the supermoon we saw last weekend, I’ve put together a little lunar pattern spy for you. iphone case // bathing suit // pillow
Happy Monday, I hope your week is off to a good start. I’m slowly coming around from a relaxing weekend filled with beach time, a sunday hike, the supermoon, and the kick off to shark week! Rupe says it is mandatory viewing and I was hooked at Colossus. Image by me via iphone/instagram (I’m @sarahshermansamuel)
Not a lot has happened in the bedroom since I last checked-in, however we did finish re-upholstering the old bed (more on that in a minute). Now, we are on the hunt for some nightstands. I stole the little plant stand from next to the dresser so I have something to put a glass of […]
Every weekend we can, we pack up the car and head to one of the beautiful beaches up or down the coast. While we only live within spitting distance from Venice Beach, I love the rocky (and less crazy town) beaches in Palos Verdes and Malibu. Here’s what I pack for a picture perfect day […]
This weekend we tinkered around the house some more, had a date night at our local sushi place, and finished it off with our favorite hike around Will Rogers State Park. It was cloudy most of the time but that made for a pretty beautiful rosy sky Sunday evening. Who needs silver linings when you […]
Thanks for all the help with the console table selection! I was so excited that some of you chose the Mill. My three favorites were probably the Strut, the Brent, and the Mill. Once I factored in price, the Mill shot up to number one. It also helped that the dimensions were exactly what I […]
