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 …
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.

My first “House Crush” posts centered entirely around homes nearby where I lived in Lake Arrowhead… I figured since I was looking at homes anyway, it would be a fun way to sort of share a little bit of the process with you… (I’m still not sure if I’m staying in my house or moving, …
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 …
I’ve had this desk system from Ikea now for well over five years, and I have to say, for what I use it for, it’s still totally functional and amazing. I love all the shelves and the size of the desk is perfect for my needs. It has held up through a move and still …
One day I will have a house in the desert and it will be the mid-century modern dream I’ve envisioned forever. For some reason, I cannot seem to decorate a regular house -just anywhere, in this mid-century fashion. It HAS to be in the desert, and it has to have original design features, and it …
Leather can be an intimidating material to work with, but if you have the right tools, it’s actually pretty simple and straightforward, and can totally enhance the look with simple design elements. I love how it can transform a completely modern kitchen and give it a bit of warmth and rustic character, with the littlest …
This post was created for Schlage®. All opinions are my own. Sometimes it’s really the littlest things that make all the difference in the world! When my mom and stepdad moved into their house last year, they vowed to eventually switch out all the brass doorknobs and hardware that the old owners left behind, because …

Handmade gifts add that touch of extra effort that makes everything merrier, don’t you think? I love making handmade ornaments as gift add-ons for the holidays. Every year when I was young, my mom and I would make ornaments to give to our family and friends and I love keeping the tradition alive. They’re the …
Each November I host a Friendsgiving Dinner with Ecco Domani Wine. Whether it’s just a few friends or a larger group of us, it’s always a very casual, cozy and quaint gathering where everyone feels at home – in my home. This year my Friendsgiving included a group of women that I just adore. We …

You guys, I’m obsessed with all citrus right now, and this Grapefruit Yogurt Cake is everything and more, and it NEEDS to make an appearance at your weekend brunch table.

I finally live in a house with a walk-in closet to call my own… and I love it. I love the size, that is, but it’s by far, my dream closet. We’ve been here a little over three years now and as much as I’ve decorated the house, there are so many things I really …
* Recipe by guest contributor Laney Schwartz, creator of Life is But a Dish Hi. I’m Laney and I love spaghetti squash. We actually have a love/hate relationship. Once we get past the initial awkward part, things are all good. But the amount of effort it takes for me to cut a spaghetti squash …
