We made it to our cabin late last week and took the weekend off from any diy work to really enjoy it. We ate fresh Michigan fruit, played in the water, hit a few antique shops, and read the very fitting summer volume of kinfolk while stretched out on the beach. When night came, we made a […]
We weren’t planning on tackling anything in the bedroom until the fall, but last trip there we went for it. We laid the new flooring, tore off the walls and bunk beds, and insulated. All that led me to get planning on how the room is going to come together when it has walls and […]
When I picture tie dye in my head I usually cringe and think of the crazy neon multi-colored spiral. Fortunately there are these toned down versions of Tie dye that could so easily fit my style in one way or the other … and Elle Macpherson sure did make it look good here. 1: Jeans […]
This weekend I spent some good quality downtime. I took a long nap in the sun, had late lunches that extended into dinner time, and watched a mini Mad Men marathon. (thanks Audrey, now Rupert and I are both hooked!) Image is at Gjelina, from my instagram feed. (I’m ssspics)
Over the next couple weeks some of our new Planners will be making their way into all Target stores. This one happens to be my favorite from a full collection of neon planners and calendars that I designed for Greenroom’s “Back to College” season. They will only be in the stores for a limited time […]

I’m back at work today after swapping the marine layer on the west side of LA for 100 degree sunshine in Palm Springs. I battled a floppy sun hat at the Ace and found some pretty type on the sidewalk. Images from my Instagram feed
This week was an extra busy one at work and at home so I am particularly ready for a little break. Rupert and I booked a quick last minute trip to Palm Springs this morning and I can’t wait to spend some time relaxing in the sun. TGIF for reaaaal! Image from my instagram feed.
Bea came up with another yummy creation that I got to happily indulge in… her apricot tart is perfect as a fresh summer dessert. To see Bea’s last recipe check it out here. Images by Sarah // Recipe by Bea
Here is a peek at the flooring while we were putting it in. After scraping off all of the old floor tiles and laying down the underlayment, the new floor went in relativley quickly. This photo perfectly illustrates what any onlooker would see at any point of the day on our recent trip to the […]

This weekend I had my friend Anne in town from San Francisco and we did a mini food tour of a few of my favorite spots around the west side of LA. We made our first stop Friday at the new bar in town, The Corner Door (top right photo), then Saturday we had breakfast […]
Also last month … 100 Layer Cake featured my Palm Springs 30th birthday bash. They did an amazing job compiling the photos but, as promised, I have rounded up a few of my favorites from the night. No party of mine is ever void of pattern and this one was definitely no exception. I was […]
May through my instagram feed: Last month we worked a lot on the cabin in Michigan, took plenty of walks on the beach, went picking at the rose bowl flea market, took a few hikes, went to a car show at Greystone Mansion, and had a lot of date nights.
I am not usually drawn to a heart motif, they can get a little too saccharine too quick. However, when done well they can add just the right amount of sweetness, like these guys above … and of course, the ban.do girls also really know what they are doing with a heart or two. 1: […]
A little green, a lot of charcoal, and a new foxy door knocker all make me crazy happy to be rid of the last of that old red paint color! Here it is with its brand spanking new exterior colors. You will have to excuse the clutter as we are still deep in reno mode. […]
