I’m back with more from our recent trip to Miami! Visiting South Beach was a big ole trip down memory lane. Rupe and I checked out our old apartments, stopped by the place where we first met and made sure to drop in at all of our favorite spots which I’ll be sharing below. Some […]
I realized this weekend that we will have lived in LA for seven years now, this month! It took us a while to settle in but lately it just feels like it keeps getting better. I guess I made it past the seven year itch. 🙂 We spent Saturday and Sunday jumping around town running […]
I’ve shared a little about 31Bits in the past, but if you haven’t heard about the awesome things they are doing, you can take a peek at their mission here. In a nutshell, they work with women in Northern Uganda, purchasing jewelry from the artisans on a monthly basis creating a working relationship that empowers […]
If you follow me on instagram you might remember this jacket from my birthday celebrations and an oscar party. As soon as I laid my pattern loving eyes on it, I had to make it mine and have been wearing the heck out of it ever since. Jeans by Pilcro c/o Anthropologie // Graphic Tee by […]
Ok guys, sorry for the lack of house updates. There hasn’t been anything too exciting going on and everything is still so not pretty, it isn’t very inspiring to take photos of, or look at, really. Thankfully the end is getting near(ish) and most of the major stuff is done! I can’t wait for the […]
Remember when our house looked like this. It was after phase one of the kitchen renovation and when we were still trying to make the house look like it wasn’t all under construction (and before we gave up that pipe dream in our third month of the major renovation). You will be able to see how […]
This weekend I did a lot of last minute prep work for my One Kings Lane sale (which starts tonight!), but also took some time to fit in a stunning california hike, my favorite. Image by me via instagram (@sarahshermansamuel)
Happy Friday guys. I wanted to share some exciting news! I’ve partnered up with One Kings Lane to do an A Sunny Afternooon Artisanal sale! I’ve been a big fan of One Kings Lane for quite some time, so when they approached me to sell my own products I about jumped out of my chair. They […]
Anthropologie sent me these beautiful pants from their colorful line of Hyphen Chinos just in time for our trip to Miami and they quickly became a staple in my travel wardrobe. I picked the “candied ginger” colorway, which happens to be my latest hue obsession. You may also recognize it from my new studio floors… CAN NOT […]
I’ve done a big re-stock of previously sold-out boards and napkins over in the shop today, and added these new solid Rock Maple Hexagons into the mix! Cheers to more sunny afternoons. 🙂 Maple Hexagon Board by A Sunny Afternoon Image by Sarah Sherman Samuel
The good: Saturday we drove downtown to check out the Parachute Market, a beautifully curated design fair and then stopped by the equally beautiful Ace on the way back for a little snack. The bad: On the drive home I started not feeling so well. The really ugly: We arrived home to a freshly varnished hallway […]
I have yet to choose any furnishings or accessories for the bedrooms in my own house, but I’ve been working on a client’s home in Manhattan Beach and thought I would share what I am calling a “modern beach” guest room. Living in a beach town, we wanted to give the room a coastal nod […]
When I lived in Miami, this neck of the woods was the old manufacturing district with abandoned warehouses on every corner. Now the big buildings have turned into giant canvases featuring artist’s work from all over the world. Rupe and I spent a day wandering around the streets soaking up all the creativity….
This weekend we spent a day in Miami touring the Wynwood art district and cramming in some more beautiful beach time before bidding adieu to Florida to get back to our home state of California. Once back we eased back into normal life with a brunch at Gjelina and a hike around Palos Verdes. Now […]
Now that the bedroom is drywalled, I am dreaming of all sorts of pretty wallpaper. Here’s a few of my favorites… giraffes by jill malek // andanza by laundry // dark floral by ellie cashman // malachite by cole & sons // nuvole by cole & sons // wabi by calico wallpaper // travertino by osbourne & little // ferns by lisa […]
The trash pile is gone, two out of three coats of stucco done, and the roofing has been approved…
