If you remember from the bedroom “before” photos, there were initially two sets of identical bunk beds. Each of those bunk beds had a closet at the end. By removing one set of bunk beds (to fit the double bed) we also removed one good sized closet, and replaced it with just the tiny linen […]
I packed my bag and headed up to Ojai yesterday for a little getaway with a great group of creative ladies. Hosted by the Bash Please girls along with Catherine and Jaimi, they have put together a little “girl scout camp” themed retreat. Here’s a peek and what came with me. Shopping guide: Arvada Tote […]
This weekend went by in a complete blur. I spent most of it working on different projects and then before I knew it, bam it was sunday night. I did pop into the darling shop called Flannel where they feature items that are all Australian designed. They had such a beautiful selection of porcelain pieces by Mud Australia… […]
May was a busy month. I pretty much had to tear myself away from the computer and an ever growing to-do list in order to take some time to rest and reset. Sometimes taking a few steps (or days) away from work is all you need to be even more productive when you return. A few […]
Along with the lounge chairs, we got our dining table and dining chairs squared away. Since I was loving the Redsmith and the Tolix so much from my initial search, but neither of them were really in my budget, I dug a little further and came across these Tabouret chairs on Overstock. They were a perfect […]
We spent our two last days at the cabin this weekend trying to savor it all before our LA return. The warm thunderstorms, long walks, crashing waves, cozy cabin, and empty beach were exactly what we needed after a couple tumultuous months. Now I’m recharged and excited to share with you guys everything that has […]
I “accidentally” forgot to pack a bathing suit this trip so, of course, I had no choice but to get a new one in Chicago on our way to the cabin. Luckily I found this L. Space number to save the day… as it, along with my chambray shirt, has become my daily uniform. Shopping […]
Remember from the planning post that I was looking for a couple chaise lounges? I ended up going with the Appalaro Chaise from Ikea. After a fun assembly session with Rupe (these were actually the easiest thing I have ever put together from Ikea), we were all set to do our best lounging. More to […]
We spent half of the weekend in Chicago visiting Rupe’s brother’s family. We had a blast catching up, sharing stories, and doting on their three little boys. The other half was spent at the cabin, taking long walks on the beach to zen out before assembling Ikea furniture. Those flat packed boxes get me every […]
The painter in me is always drawn to a good brushstroke pattern. Here’s a few that I have my eye on now. 1: Black Road artwork by Dwell Studio // 2: Brushstroke Pants by Elizabeth and James // 3: Char-Bea bedding by Ashley G for Urban Outfitter
We are heading to the cabin this week and I’m so ready, my bags are already packed. Here’s a peek at a few things that will be coming along with me and a few that are still on my cabin wardrobe wish list. The weather in Michigan is generally unpredictable and especially this time of […]
This weekend I worked a lot but also fit in a long walk by the water with the dogs and a trip over to the Long Beach flea market, which is where I picked up those copper beauties. Hope you all had a great weekend! Images by me via Instagram (I’m @sarahshermansamuel)
Tagging onto yesterday’s post and the table search, I picked out the Rocha table to see how it sits next to my favorite chair options. I don’t usually like to have a matchy matchy dining set (even though that’s exactly what we have on the inside of the cabin). Sometimes it works, but I prefer […]
As you can see, our patio is still very much empty. While it makes for great uninterrupted views from the living room, it makes relaxing on the deck next to impossible. Last year we did so much work on the cabin that we didn’t spend near as much time as I would have liked outside. […]
I run cold (as Rupe would say) so it took the 100+ degree weather in palm springs this weekend to get me back into a skirt. I don’t always go for a midi length skirt but in pleather?… I just couldn’t help myself. Paired with the studded sandals and my snake print bag the material […]
It was high time to get out of the house and get in some relaxation time. Rupe surprised me with a weekend trip to Palm Springs to take a break from the busy whirlwind my days have become lately and to celebrate his almost finished recovery after surgery. We happily swam, read, ate, and relaxed […]
