Moving day came a little too quick, we were just not quite ready. So, we packed and moved and packed and moved all weekend. Since there are a lot of things we want to do to the house before we move our stuff in, most everything we own got packed into the garage. It took […]
We have a serious shortage of closet space around here and in the new house it is going to be even less, so I made myself a garment rack that I wouldn’t be ashamed to have out on display. Now my favorite items won’t get lost in the wardrobe abyss. Here are the supplies needed […]
Did you guys get a chance to see my Style at Home feature over on Glitter Guide yesterday? I was so happy when they asked me to participate because I knew that we were moving soon and I thought it would be a great way to say goodbye to the house. Of course I have […]
I’m a bit late with my July review. How is it mid-august already? Last month we took a little break in Palm Springs after the big push of launching A Sunny Afternoon, took a trip to the cabin for some summer fun and spent some QT in the workshop making more serving boards. Back in […]
Exciting changes are happening over here! I am stoked to finally share that we have sold our townhouse and bought a little house (with a yard, yayyy) here in LA. It has been in the works for quite some time now, but with how things have gone for us en route to selling and buying… […]
Hey all you LA folks, I am having a yard sale this Saturday along with a few of my favorite designer friends, Kendra & Amanda. I have a lot of furniture, shoes, clothes, books, cameras, and SOOO many stationery items. Throughout all those years at Greenroom I collected and stored away an insane amount of […]
I couldn’t be happier with the positive response I have gotten with A Sunny Afternoon. I am ecstatic to know that so many of you were also looking for special little items to dress up your picnic and table. So, I want to say thank you to all of the Smitten Studio readers by giving […]
After a busy week out and about, we spent most of the weekend right at home (with the exception of a quick lunch at Wurstkuche and a little hike with the pups). I spent a good amount of time sorting through our closets & garage in preparation for an upcoming yard sale (stay tuned for the […]
Well, it was only a matter of time before I snuck one of my A Sunny Afternoon products into a Pattern Spy. I mean, of course I am biased but they are surely some of my favorite patterns ;), the crosses/plus signs in particular, and if you like those napkins you may be into this […]
I’m pretty sure you can never go wrong with a pair of your favorite jeans and a white tee. On weekends you will most likely find me in some rendition of this outfit. Pickwick & Weller sent over this tee and it has quickly become a true fave. Lucky for you guys they are offering […]
As promised… here are my favorites from the second set of the zebra shoot. How gorgeous is that Rachel Pally dress in the last photo and did I mention there is a video? If you haven’t seen it yet, I would head on over to Glitter Guide and give it a gander. It definitely captures […]
It’s easy to say that not everyday do you get to work with a dazzle of Zebras, so when Caroline of Woodnote Photography approached me about styling a shoot that promised just that, there was just no turning it down. Here are a few of my favorite shots of the day and check back for […]
I have been feeling a bit under the weather the last few days, fighting some sort of cold. So other then a lazy picnic on the beach Sunday, I spent most of the weekend sleeping or watching Friends re-runs and wishing my mom lived closer. I hope you guys had a better weekend! Image by […]
Many of our serving boards sold out much quicker than anticipated so, while in Michigan, I made sure to get a lot of time in the workshop to replenish and they are back up in the shop today! Each board is handcrafted out of a solid piece of American Walnut by either me or my dad and […]
I’m back in LA today dreaming of the time we spent last week at the cabin. Every time we go I fall in love more and more with my home state of Michigan. The best part of this weekend was filled with sunshine, looong beach days, quiet walks, sunset beach fires, and a few games […]
Remember a while back when I was looking for a new chair to replace my two yellow one’s that I sold? Well, it took me long enough, but I finally made a decision. I ended up going with a vintage Knoll Hardoy chair (aka. butterfly chair) that I picked up from Surfing Cowboys. This chair […]
