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 …
Sunday House Crush // Little Apple A-Frame Mountain Cabin
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 …
Sunday House Crush / Rustic Modern A-Frame Cabin in Lake Tahoe
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 …
Celebrating Spring with these Adorable Rabbit Sculpture Lamps
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 …
Sunday House Crush // The Ultimate Oasis in Santa Barbara
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 …
Old World Meets Contemporary Inside Gwyneth Paltrow’s Home
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 …
Art + Interiors / Decor + Photography // These Fine Walls Art Gallery
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 – …
Sunday House Crush // Contemporary Mountain Charmer
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 …
HOME // Family Lake House Kitchen Renovation Inspiration
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 …
Home // Family Lake House Renovation Update – Lake Arrowhead
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 …
Sprucing Up The Exterior of My Office with Faux Ivy Vines
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 …
Home // A New Lake House and Renovation Project!
LOVECATS! I’ve missed you! Life has been unsteady… April was a dumpster fire but the flames have been extinguished and I’m working on rebuilding and rising from the ashes. Could I use ANY MORE metaphors in one sentence? Probably…. but I’ll spare you 🙂 After almost a month of silence and self care, I finally …
Office Decor // Help Me Choose a Rug for my Office
I knew when I moved into my office that I would eventually want to invest in a rug or two since I’m not entirely 100% happy with the rugs I’m currently using. I have a natural color faux cowhide rug in the sitting area and a blush pink real cowhide under my desk. I actually …
Office Bathroom Makeover with Hand-painted Art Accent Wall
Though I haven’t quite finished decorating my project room and still want to add a little fun exterior styling once the weather warms up, now that the bathroom is finished, I feel like my office renovation is complete! I’m so grateful I had Chad to help me with this entire makeover because it would have …
Home Decor // Hand-Painting Walls – Abstract Line Art Faces
We finished my office bathroom a few weeks ago but I have yet to put the finishing touches on it because I just wasn’t quite ready… my vision wasn’t complete, but I’m closer now 🙂 Since I’m renting and paying for all the upgrades, I didn’t go all out on the bathroom but instead used …
