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 …
Lovecats! Just a heads up! This is a guest post, which I don’t do very often 🙂 But I think it’s pretty interesting and I thought you might think so too. I learned about Feng Shui and the connection between humans and a universal energy over 20 years ago (yikes!) and have always designed and …
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 …
Cocoon by Sealy reached out to collaborate a few months ago and offered to send me a new mattress as part of our partnership. Now, as much as I would have LOVED to try out this new Cocoon by Sealy mattress, I really didn’t need a new mattress for the master bedroom or for any …
Growing up and living in Los Angeles with hundreds of restaurants and food options just minutes away, eating out or delivery dinners were the norm, but since moving up to the mountains, where our choices have diminished, we actually use our kitchen and eat in nearly every day of the week now, which I love. …
Another great designer find via Joss & Main, you may know Jessie D. Miller from HGTV Star season 8 where she earned her nickname, “The Design Daredevil.” She’s recently curated a sale at J&M, Jessie D. Miller/Behind the Design, where you can find many similar pieces to the ones she’s used in the photos from …
It’s that time of year again, and I think this year more than ever, I’m relaxed and so ready to enjoy friends and family in holiday gatherings on every level. I’m not sure exactly why it is, but I finally feel settled up in these mountains and honestly don’t ever want to call any other …
You had me at Fall… The days are getting shorter and the nights a bit chillier and the sunlight through the trees casts a warm glow onto the streets and in through our windows and you just know the leaves are about to change color and begin falling and everything will be magical again… phew! …
Trevor LOVED the citrusy aroma! When we bought our home {almost three years ago now WOW!} it was move-in ready. I think it had been a foreclosure and then a flip, so while much of the house had been upgraded and the kitchen and bathrooms renovated, they were just sort of good enough and obviously …
But since it is NOT for sale, but it IS available for weekly holidays via One Fine Stay, I’m going stay in it for a few days and fantasize about how it would feel to exist in its modern 1920’s Spanish Revival elegance – among what looks to be an original Jackson Pollock painting. LOOK …
A-lister, Reese Witherspoon has created and launched a new online shopping destination in honor of her Southern heritage called Draper James, named after her grandmother and grandfather, from whom she learned to dress and act like a lady, to take pride in my home, to reach out to help a neighbor, and to always invite …

Written by guest contributor Paisley Hansen For many people, the kitchen is the heart and crowning glory of their home. Not sure what to do with a small space? What about those awkward spaces that no one really knows how to use? Make the most of the space in your kitchen and add to the …
Written by guest contributor Paisley Hansen When you have a small living space, more than just your decorating potential feels cramped. After all, you want to conserve what little room you have and keep things from getting and feeling stuffier. Fortunately, by thinking outside the box, you can make your home feel less like the …
