above image via Canadian Log HomesI LOVE my fireplace and hearth, but it doesn’t have a mantel, which honestly makes holiday decorating a little difficult. The mantel is where so much goodness exists for seasonal decor, don’t you think? When we first moved in, {four years ago this month!} I wanted to install a …
I started decorating for Christmas over the weekend, as many of you probably did too… because I just can’t do it until after Thanksgiving… and was pleasantly surprised at how much fun I had. Since this is the first holiday season I’ll be spending alone, I have to admit that I dreaded it a little …
I started following Insieme House on Instagram a few years ago, and was amazed at what Astrid could do with the limited space she was working with. And through the years, I’ve watched her adorable blue A-frame home grow and change and become lovelier with each passing photograph, and she never fails to get every …
I ADORE Judy Aldridge’s eclectic style, in home decor and in fashion. I find her posts and photos not only instantly inspiring, but so dreamy, I just want to live in the spaces she creates. She’s constantly designing and redesigning rooms and switching up the nooks in her home so they look fresh and new …
The 2016 Zac Posen Pinot Grigio bottle for Ecco Domani Wine is so pretty, it’s perfect for Summer soirees as well as all the upcoming holiday celebrations. The metallic dots in gold, rose gold, silver, and black, make it an excellent choice for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve table settings, AND having a designer …
This is my favorite of the two videos I shot with MODE Media for Ace Paint Studio back in May, where I spent the day in LA filming with Sabrina Soto and S Squared Productions and had a blast. In this fun little segment, we turned a boring corner into a Fun Speakeasy Lounge with …
Remember a few weeks ago, or was it just last week? Man summer is just flying by! Anyway, I shared a little Behind the Scenes look from my day on set with MODE Media for Ace Paint Studio thinking I might only see the finished video on my sidebar, but alas! One of the two …
You know when you walk into a space and are immediately drawn to a certain area, and you just want to exist there for a moment in time because somehow the energy is calling out to you, begging you to experience it for just a while? That’s the feeling I wanted to create when thinking …
I do apologize to all the other cute little shops here in Lake Arrowhead, but Road Trip is the best in show. It’s possible I’m a teensy bit biased though, not only because I met the owners last weekend and had the most fun with them Saturday night BUT, I’ve been DYING to get into …
* This post was created for Signature Kitchen Suite. Signature Kitchen Suite will be exhibiting and featured at LA’s biggest design event, Dwell on Design, at the LA Convention Center from June 24-26, and let me tell you, this is luxury kitchen appliance lust at its finest. Curated by the editors of Dwell magazine, one …
At the end of March I surprised my mom and stepdad with a brand new mattress by Tempur Sealy, which they desperately needed. It was the Cocoon by Sealy mattress and it ARRIVED IN A BOX… YES, A BOX! We were all basically stunned and amazed that a Cal-King mattress could not only fit in …
Generally, like any creative endeavor, when I start planning for a tablescape collaboration with Ecco Domani, I begin with a theme in mind and then start pulling items from all around the house that happen to fit that theme. Though a little cliche, this month’s theme WAS April Showers Bring May Flowers. However, once I …
Our fabulously talented friends Josh and Rafi, who make up the design team FORM Design Studio, and who have some serious celebrity clientele in their portfolio, though I’m not naming names, have just launched a stunning paper goods collection with Dempsey and Carroll and I’m so lucky to have gotten a first look at it …
Though this table was styled for a bridal photo shoot, I think it’s just the perfectly pretty and feminine spring tabletop. From Easter to Mother’s Day, these pretty florals, layered with texture and color, along with colored glassware, vintage dishes, and gold flatware, are just the perfect inspiration for all the coming holidays. It’s so …
