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 …
What began as a simple click through from an art gallery email quickly turned into a deep dive down a rabbit hole of gorgeous interiors styled with incredible photography. Originally I thought I’d share the art I was drooling over – since my art gallery days, art features have been a regular thing here – …
I look at homes on Zillow every day. Every. Day. It doesn’t help that I get no less than one million emails from Zillow to prompt me to go look at one more house in the area… I can’t help it. It’s an addiction and Zillow is to blame. Sometimes I’m delighted by the houses …
As far as design trends go, it sort of feels like white kitchens are a thing of the past and warmer, woodsier, darker and more natural or contemporary kitchens are making a comeback HOWEVER, I sort of view white kitchens as a clean slate and depending on the materials used, offer a timeless look that …
Hi Lovecats! Just thought I’d share a little update on the family lake house we’ve been renovating for the last few months, though it’s not all that exciting, I still wanted to share the process, which of course, has taken far longer than we all anticipated. In my experience, construction and renovation always takes at …
I’ve been DYING to DIY the exterior of my office since signing the lease last October, but the weather has kept me from really moving forward with it, and now that the sun is shining and the birds are chirping, my office looks like it’s brimming with life as well… and I love it. I …
