However, …
DIY DECOR Inspiration // Tiled Tables
If you’ve been noticing design trends reminiscent of the ’80s, you are not alone. The soft pastels and big bulky rounded edges on everything from sofas and chairs, to tables, architecture and even kitchen islands, surprisingly looks fresh and new again. And for those born after the ’80s, it probably looks like nothing you’ve ever …
Home Decor // Dark & Moody Powder Room Reveal
I feel like I’ve been stringing you guys along with this final bathroom reveal (I mean, for those of you who care lol), but I promise I’m not! I blame the quarantine that has me motivated and inspired and feeling great one day followed by two days of complete lack of motivation, anxiety and mini …
Home Decor // Mountain House Rustic Living Room
We moved into this new house at the beginning of June and since we already had so much stuff (that actually complemented the space, it was pretty easy to decorate) and I’ve been meaning to share it with you since July. Though, I have to admit, that since it’s a rental, there seems to be …
Decor Inspiration // Woodsy Chic Boutique // Jeannine’s Home Furnishings
I have found a few really amazing home decor/design boutiques up here and while they all lean a little on the woodsy side, each has its own distinctive style and this is one of my favorites. Many offer interior design services as well. Just as you enter the Lake Arrowhead Village, there’s a gorgeous little …

Lake House Decor // Home Office Progression… Incomplete

Lake House Update | Beachy Guest Room BEFORE and Choosing Paint Colors with Sherwin Williams…
 Looks oddly similar to our old master bedroom, no? 😉I tend to be one of those people who doesn’t paint every room in her house a different color. I like neutrals, I like consistency, and I don’t like walking into a room of a house that doesn’t look like it fits with the rest of …
My New Office: Vanity & Work TableThe Mirror You Helped me Choose + New Chairs
A month or so ago I asked you guys to help me choose a mirror for my vanity area in my new office/workspace. While I really loved all of the mirrors, I went with the Ablenay Mirror from Lamps Plus because I thought it would really work well with my Italian lamps, as well as …
Bringing the Outdoors In // Decorating with Branches
Lake House Pinterest Board via French GreyI have been known to, on more than one occasion, spy an amazingly large fallen tree branch while outside, decide it’s perfection, drag it home, wash it, and use it as decor in my own house. Note the word “fallen”, as I would never cut a tree and steal …
Console Table Styling & Decor Inspiration
I love a great console table with a pair of dueling lamps at either end. It must be the symmetry of the look that is so pleasing to my visual eye. In fact, I was hoping to get the look behind our new sectional sofa on the window side, but low and behold, I don’t …
Our New Sectional Sofa & Coffee Table Decisions…
Our new sectional sofa finally arrived over the weekend {YAY!} and we are so excited to finally have a new and comfortable couch after living with one lacking that most important element, for the last 8 years.

Home Decor Spotlight : Ceiling Beams
I have a love affair with ceiling beams, I really do, so I’m super excited that our main room, my new studio and office space, as well as our master bedroom, are lined with ceiling beams. It’s unfortunate though, that downstairs, they’ve all been painted from their original dark stain to a taupe color, which …
Trying NOT to Visually Decorate our {Possible} New House is REALLY DIFFICULT, especially because that’s all I want to do
We are apparently in phase two of our loan process and in escrow on our house in Lake Arrowhead. Everything is looking good and technically, monetarily speaking, we should have no problems getting this house.
