I saw this house listed for sale last summer and fell in love with it… of course it wasn’t blue then, and it looked more like it was about to collapse, but I still loved it. It was only $350k at the time but needed a complete face lift, major work, and a new roof. …

Sunday House Crush // Beauty & The Beast Vibes
Happy Sunday Lovecats! Here comes a Sunday House Crush that is far more affordable than the usual house crushes I share… not that it is entirely affordable for everyone BUT it’s one of the few under a million that I’ve shared… and I just kind of LOVE it. Mostly though. I love the BATHROOM! It’s …
Sunday House Crush // Open Architecture & Dream Bathroom
I actually spotted this home on an Instagram story of a local realtor up here, Michelle Calkins, who consistently makes me giggle via her stories, as well as keeps me in the loop about what’s going on locally in our liitle community. Definitely follow her if you’re a local! This house is about a minute …
Sunday House Crush // Old North Shore Estate on the Lake
I’m having so much fun with these Sunday house crush posts because it really gives me a chance to peek around the real estate on the mountain, especially into areas I can’t go by car or foot! There are so many really amazing places up here that you never really know about unless maybe you’re …
Sunday House Crush // Liberace’s Mountain Home
I stumbled upon this listing and found my jaw dropping at each consecutive click to the next photo, because I’ve never seen anything like this house up here (in Lake Arrowhead). It just sort of seems out of place among all the very cabin style mountain homes -though it is trying to keep a mountain …
Sunday House Crush // Open Floor Plan & Windows!
I am slightly OBSESSED with this mountain house. I LOVE the layout and open floor plan and I love most of the upgrades done to it, which is rare. Oftentimes I’d rather just find a really cool place that hasn’t been touched, but this place is move-in ready. I would make a few small changes, …
Sunday House Crush // French Chateau Estate on the Lake
This house is incredible and the photos do NOT do it justice! It’s in the Palisades, just minutes from my house and I pass it when I take the walk along the lake instead of the lanes… and every time I stop at it because the location and view of the lake from this point …
Dogwood Tavern Renovation / Inspiration / Rustic Modern
Last year around this time, my partners and I acquired the building that is in the process of becoming Dogwood Tavern. While we had planned on doing a sort of quickie fix-it to open early 2017, it turned into a full-blown renovation. Much of the structure has remained the same, but the entire place has …
Sunday Property Crush // Robin Hood Lane Dream Estate
I was nosing around Zillow’s homes for sale in my area again (Lake Arrowhead) and stumbled upon this incredible French Normandy-style lakefront “masterpiece” which, according to the listing, blends classic Old World architecture with state-of-the-art amenities. Not only that, this dreamy estate is located on the tip of its very own private peninsula right on …
Sunday House Crush // Lake Arrowhead “Aspen” Estate
This Aspen Inspired Private Luxury Mountain Retreat ( via Zillow ) was recently sold in September, but it still popped up in my recommended local homes email, because obviously at $2,875,000, it’s totally in my price range 😉 and I’m crushing on it… HARD. At 5 beds 5 baths and 5,495 sqft, it’s not a …

House Hunting Again // Living in Lake Arrowhead, CA
I’ve shared in a few posts about having to sell my house… Things have changed a little bit and I have a choice to stay, though it’s an expensive one, and as quickly as I can usually make decisions, the choice to stay in this house or to sell it and move is one that …
Smells Like West Coast Pheromones
What I’m Wearing… * Vintage Emilio Pucci for Formfit Rogers as coverup… blue version available at Etsy – mine is missing the waist tie… but I like it better loose-fitting * Vintage Levi’s cutoffs – also seen here and here * Badlands Desert Hot Spring Ikat Bikini from Mauka Collective * Panama hat * Gucci …
Royal Oak to Dogwood Tavern // Before – Renovation
If you happened to have read this post then you’d know that along with two amazing partners, I’m opening a bar/restaurant up here in the mountains called Dogwood Tavern… AND I’M RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED ABOUT IT. It all began late last summer and by the end of October we finally secured the amazing space in Blue …
