Now that I am currently in the process of trying to imagine -or re-imagine– a new life and future for myself, moving from my current location to a new location is high on my list on jumpstarting that process. I still have some mixed feelings about leaving Lake Arrowhead, like the community and my friends …
As much as I love nature and being surrounded by trees and gorgeous greenery OUTSIDE, I’ve never really been an in-house plant person (although I would DIE for an in-house atrium!) Aside from my kitchen window orchids (a mainstay in all my houses) and a possible much larger and usually tropical living room tree of …
Happy February Lovecats! I’m not sure why January felt like it lasted an entire year, but it’s over now and soon it will be summer and we’ll all be saying I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S HALLOWEEN ALREADY and then it’s NYE and BOOM! The year is over. How does it even work anymore? I don’t know… …
I was hesitant about decorating for Christmas this year for the same reason I didn’t decorate last year. I just moved into a new house in the beginng of November which means that in the last week or so I finally finished unpacking and decorating (for normal daily living) and honestly was feeling a little …
I took this year for me, to get back to me. I took this year to find myself, to create myself. I took this year to figure out what was next. Although I had the means to do so, it was a HUGE risk in many ways, and I took it anyway. A year later, …
I come from a long line of savers, which mostly has equated to frantic, jump-inducing yelps on holidays like DON’T RIP THE WRAPPING PAPER, WE CAN SAVE IT and DON’T THROW THAT AWAY, WE CAN USE IT AGAIN and SQUEEZE OUT THE SPONGE!… okay, the last one happened to be a running joke in my …
Welcome to my little kitchen! I’d give you a tour, but this is pretty much it! However, I dressed up to match so I may as well go into detail about every little thing because well, that’s what bloggers do, right? Well that’s what I’m going to do, with links to what you see, in …
I’ve had some pretty amazing closets in the past and have turned my last two offices into a closet/dressing room/home office combination because it just made sense for my work, but this is the first time I’ve had an entire room dedicated to my wardrobe and I have to say, I am very excited about …
Moving into the townhouse meant a lot of downsizing, which I am not so good at. I still have so much stuff from my first house in storage and well, you get the point. I have a lot of stuff and this is the year it’s either staying or it’s going. First to go was …
The best part of moving into a new place is DECORATING. Okay, maybe not for everyone, but for me, this is the best part. I’m actually a little worried that when I’m finished (I mean, are we ever “finished” though?) I’ll be bored and have nothing to do… and then I promptly remind myself that …
As a Lake Arrowhead local and business owner (Dogwood Tavern in Blue Jay and Dogwood Dockside at the Marina) I follow as many (if not all) local businesses on the mountain and their Instagram accounts, including the Airbnb’s, and while there are so many truly adorable and perfectly remodeled rental cabins up here, the Little …
I’m not exactly sure what I was searching for when this beautiful A-frame image popped up on my screen, but thinking it might be located in Lake Arrowhead, I clicked on it and it led me to the post A Modern A-Frame Cabin in Lake Tahoe, California on the Style Files wherein I learned that …
With spring in the air and Easter right around the corner, I couldn’t help falling in love with these adorably whimsical rabbit sculpture lamps that are equal parts Alice in Wonderland and Jeff Koons all wrapped up into one cute lamp. The addition of the collar as mini lampshade with just enough light to guide …
Based solely on the exterior, I would not call this house an oasis, and to be honest, those weren’t my words anyway, but stolen from the listing, however, I do find this home oddly appealing with its expansive modern spaces designed with an old European vibe that I’m just drooling over. It’s confusing to describe …
I stumbled upon Gwyneth Paltrow’s Architectural Digest home tour the other day on youtube and just HAD to share. You may have seen it already, because there are almost 2 million views at this point BUT if you haven’t seen it, give the video a quick watch because it’s a truly unique and beautiful home …
