The bedroom is coming along bit by bit. Here are a few shots of us in the process of putting in the new ceiling. We picked up this carsiding from menards, my mom and I painted it, then Rupe and my dad put it up. Voila! done and done. So far in the bedroom we have: […]
While putting together last week’s style post I came across the lookbook for the charming French brand Cotélac. I had bought this bag on my last trip to France and never bothered to look up their online shop until now. Have you guys seen this? I love LOVE the way they styled their Spring/Summer 2012 collection. […]
Well, this was about all I saw of the beautiful weather this weekend because about 30 minutes after I took this photo I got violently ill with food poisoning! I am very glad to be feeling back to normal now, but what a waste of a weekend… hope everyone else had a more pleasant break. […]
It was extra fun putting together today’s style post because I was beautified by my good friend and makeup artist to the stars Ximena Rolfe (she put on a smokey eye that I have been trying and failing at doing for the last 15 years) and then shot by Mike Carreiro, the same great guy […]
Ok, lets talk about this fireplace. We have made a little progress on it by scraping off all the old paint and re-painting but that is about as far as we have gotten so far (look here to see it in its original state). There are a few things that need desperate attention and a […]
You may recognize these big bad bows from my 30th birthday party. Since the feature on 100 Layer Cake and the photos I posted here, I have received a few inquiries on how to make these oversized fascinators (or fantasticles as Rupert calls them). So, here is a quick & festive DIY project to adorn your […]
This weekend we took the dogs on a nice long hike along the cliffs down in palos verdes and I got a much needed bang trim.
I never saw a scallop pattern I didn’t like and here are a few beauties that I am really loving. 1: Dress from Dorothy Perkins // 2: Rug from Urban Outfitters // 3: Purse from Lisa Stickley
Holy moly it is starting to look like a real kitchen! Remember how it looked when we first moved in (look here)? That under the counter refrigerator definitely opens up the space big time. As you can see, we still need to put up a backsplash, put on cabinet hardware, and put up some shelving, […]
Being a U-shaped kitchen, we had to do just a little tricky work to get the countertops to look seamless. We started with two 96″ butcher block countertops from Ikea. Once we cut the piece out for the range we were able to take the remnants from that and frame out either side of the […]
… my new business cards fresh from the printer! Of course no card of mine could be without pattern so I did a quartet of different prints. Images by Sarah (me)
This weekend I took advantage of an open schedule and slept in an extra hour or so and indulged in a sunday nap. I loooove my naps. Image is of our LA bedroom from my Instagram feed.
YIPPEEE for a toilet! …and for a sink and shower too for that matter. I’d say the bathroom has come a long way from this, and although we still have some things left to do, at least we have a functional bathroom (we were living with it like this for just a few days too […]
June through my instagram feed… June was a full month of: lots of beach time, both in Michigan and home in LA, work on our cabin, a few gjelina dates (amanda I still want that sweater), a trip to palm springs, a dear friends wedding, loads of snuggles with the pups and Urbanic’s Summer Social. […]
Lace can go kinda granny real quick, but this beautiful Alexander McQueen dress is anything but. It has an edge that would make itself at home in my closet in a heartbeat and it also inspired todays pattern spy. Why not add a little lace in your wardrobe or to your next party? 1: Alexander […]
Remember how I mentioned here how I wanted to make a gold stump night stand like this one? Well, lucky lucky me… God must have smiled down on me because I found the perfect stump right on our beach! I’d say free is much better then the $325 version. Hopefully it turns out as well […]
