Before I get into too much progress I am going to go ahead and post the rest of the “before pictures”. Here is the living room’s current state. A few things I wanted to point out are: #1, notice the beautiful water damage on the ceiling and the pealing paint on the fireplace. #2, The […]

I am back in LA now, but about a half an hour before I had to leave to get to the airport we put on the very last piece of siding! So that checks a big project off of our lists. Now, you will still have to IGNORE THE UGLY COLORS because we have to […]

My parents and I put a big dent in the siding work today. Here are a few photos of my dad and I hard at work. I am drilling the holes and spacing out the siding, while he is cutting the pieces to size and hammering them in…some good quality father daughter teamwork.
Today we tackle the siding…We decided to go with fiber cement siding because it has the durability of concrete but the look of wood, is low maintenance compared to wood siding and we get to paint it whatever color our hearts desire. yee haw. Here are a few of the planks that are just primed, […]
We jumped right in this morning…my dad tore off all of the old nasty siding while my mom and I tackled painting the ceiling. After one coat my arms and neck feel like they are already going to fall right off. I realized today that my 60 year old dad has way more stamina then […]
I made it to the cabin today! After a long day of travel from LA it is a huge reward to be welcomed by this. I realized that when I posted the “before” photos of the exterior of the cabin I left out the view, which is by far and away the best part! I […]

Here are a few shots I took with instagram of some recent afternoons spent along that cool block called Abbot Kinney. Shown is the Mascarpone Panna Cotta from Gjelina and Rupert about to enjoy […]
This weekend I was one of the lucky ones to take the photography workshop, Photo | Camp, with Laure from At Home At Home and Morgan from The Brick House. Another bonus was that it took place here in the super fun studio of Ban.do. Laure took this photo of the space that I kinda […]

Woo hoo! I put in our cabinet order for the kitchen today … it feels good to have that big purchase done. We went with these white cabinets from RTA Cabinets (number 10). Now that the cabinets are on their way I thought I would gather up all of the items we have for the […]
It was an insanely windy day Sunday. We took the dogs for a hike over the cliffs of Palos Verdes and literally almost blew away! On the plus side there was no one else out there so it was a beautiful walk along the ocean, but on the down side, that night it took about […]
Here’s a little look into what is currently on my desk at my home studio: 1. I have been carrying around and using this fabric covered notebook everyday for about month or so, and now I can finally say that it is going to be for sale in Target starting this month! I featured it […]
