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 …
Artist Spotlight // Joe Mortell & His Dreamscapes …I Want to Live in
I spotted these incredibly awe-inspiring spaces on Instagram and immediately wanted to move in! Upon doing a little more research I found that rather than actual living quarters, these images are works of art by New York Times senior designer, 3D animation and illustration artist, Joe Mortell and I just had to share! In a …
DIY Home Decor // Faux Stone Hand Sculpture, Statue, Art, Jewelry Holder
Okay so… this is a really simple DIY, almost unworthy of a post BUT it turned out pretty cute so I thought I’d share anyway. I did far more work to create my DIY Faux Stone Accent tables than I did on this, but since I had a little spray paint left over, I thought …
How To Turn and Old Table into a Statement Desk
Wearing: DIY Faux Fur Knot Headband, Checkered Sweatshirt, DIY Vintage Levi’s with Pom Poms I have used the Ikea Expedit Desk in two different home offices now for about 10 years, and it has worked out really well for me. When I took over this new office space though, I knew I’d need a new …
