There’s an architectural installation trend I’m so drawn to lately: natural stain slatted wood. Every time it pops up in my feed or in a home tour or on Pinterest I just pause and think, wow that’s such a clean and interesting look, and so fresh and modern! Room dividers, staircases, and shelving units are…
Happy Memorial Day weekend! I’m off to a barbeque this afternoon and tomorrow the beach! I love this weekend that kicks off the best season: summer! My client’s full scale home renovation is nearing completion and once we’ve styled it and I’ve photographed it, I’ll be revealing different spaces. It’s all coming together beautifully, I’m…
There’s a bold blue subway tile at my local Starbucks that I’m in love with and I have to touch it every time I stop inside for a coffee. Bold colorful tile is a major commitment but when it’s the perfect hue in the right space it makes an incredible statement. Have you noticed how…
G’day friends! I was in Sydney, Australia in January with my brother and we had an amazing time! It was my second visit to this vibrant city and I got to explore some areas I didn’t see my first time around. Sydney is so full of life with so much to do and see and…
Hello friends! Hope you’re well. I’m a busy bee trying to get three big projects done before I leave for Australia in two weeks, yikes! Much to do! I’m remodeling my daughter’s closet, building some shelves for a kitchen, and finishing my office too, whew. Have you been to Target this week? Their dollar bin…
I’ve been keeping myself busy this week assembling my new office space, it’s all coming together so well. With the fresh paint on the walls and the furniture in place, I’m ready to tackle 2019 with new energy. There’s something about having a new office that’s jump started so many ideas, I’m so so happy to have a…
Here we go, starting a new year! I’m a little late in getting this post up, it’s hard to get back to work after a lazy week off, but I’m finally feeling recharged and ready to go. :) This time of year always feels so good to me, the promise of a fresh start and…
I’m off to get my Christmas tree today and start decking my halls. I used to go all out with the Christmas decorating and host a big Christmas party, but these days I simply decorate my mantel, the tree, and hang some garland on the staircase. It’s simple and just festive enough, and less work…
I had the fortune of a getaway to Oahu last week. It was an impulsive trip for therapeutic reasons, and I decided when I went I was going to spend as little as possible while still enjoying the beauty of the island. My focus was to feel the aloha and appreciate the magic of Hawaii without…
Weekend greetings! I’m headed back home to California today after a much needed getaway. Hawaii is always so good for the soul and I feel so refreshed and ready to take on the upcoming holiday season! I gathered so much inspiration while I was here, everything from artwork to hotel lobbies to tropical botanicals. I…
Happy weekend everyone! It’s been an unusually busy one for me. Between the high school homecoming game and dance and sleepovers and soccer games, I didn’t have much time to sit still. I did have the house to myself on Friday night for a few hours so I watched this post war film on Netflix curled up on…
I set a goal for myself at the beginning of the year, I vowed to take weekend getaways to three new US cities that I had never been to before. I checked Austin, Texas off my list in April and in May I spent three very fun days discovering the best of Seattle. My favorite…
My weekend has been super chill, the kids are back in school and I’m just hanging out in my hometown. I went to a comedy show last night, that was fun, but then came home to find a mini disaster with my latest DIY project, I’ll share more information about that tomorrow! I don’t know…
So let’s say you’re coming to visit me in Northern California but on this trip you’ve only budgeted one day to get the “wine country experience”. Well my friend, secretly I’m thinking you should have taken a little more time than 24 hours to soak it all in because the Napa/Sonoma region is a destination,…
