Last year around this very time I was packing up my stuff, yet again, and moving out of the townhouse on the water in Lake Arrowhead and into my parents house, also in Lake Arrowhead, which I have referred to as Le Dome because well, for obvious reasons, it is a geodesic dome. There were …
One of my favorite things about my new house is this old bathroom… I JUST LOVE IT 🖤 💛 It’s black and white with a yellow tile counter and an arch over the tub/shower and it reminds me of all the bathrooms in all the old houses I grew up in as well as family …
Since my current and most immediate goal in life right now is to leave Lake Arrowhead, move off the mountain entirely and into a different house in the flatlands among the palm trees 😊, I thought I better get busy sharing the house I’m living in now before it’s too late! When I moved into …
As much as I love nature and being surrounded by trees and gorgeous greenery OUTSIDE, I’ve never really been an in-house plant person (although I would DIE for an in-house atrium!) Aside from my kitchen window orchids (a mainstay in all my houses) and a possible much larger and usually tropical living room tree of …
Happy February Lovecats! I’m not sure why January felt like it lasted an entire year, but it’s over now and soon it will be summer and we’ll all be saying I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S HALLOWEEN ALREADY and then it’s NYE and BOOM! The year is over. How does it even work anymore? I don’t know… …
I doubt this post is going to be that exciting BUT I feel like it’s pretty informative IF you’re interested in shortening a rug so it fits your space better… so if you’re into that kinda thing, then keep reading 🙂 Rather than two small rugs, I wanted a long runner for my little bathroom …
This DIY should technically fall under Renter Hacks because if I owned this place I would have simply hired someone to remove this ceiling fan and install a pendant lamp and call it a day (I don’t mess with electrical). But sometimes having constraints forces you to get a little creative and that’s just what …
At the beginning of last month (October), after stopping at the farmer’s market in Twin Peaks, Michelle and I took a little drive to Running Springs to check out a new little shop that just opened up called Hilltop Haus and it did not disappoint! I don’t go to Running Springs often, but it’s another …
The best part of moving into a new place is DECORATING. Okay, maybe not for everyone, but for me, this is the best part. I’m actually a little worried that when I’m finished (I mean, are we ever “finished” though?) I’ll be bored and have nothing to do… and then I promptly remind myself that …
With spring in the air and Easter right around the corner, I couldn’t help falling in love with these adorably whimsical rabbit sculpture lamps that are equal parts Alice in Wonderland and Jeff Koons all wrapped up into one cute lamp. The addition of the collar as mini lampshade with just enough light to guide …
Based solely on the exterior, I would not call this house an oasis, and to be honest, those weren’t my words anyway, but stolen from the listing, however, I do find this home oddly appealing with its expansive modern spaces designed with an old European vibe that I’m just drooling over. It’s confusing to describe …
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 …
I knew when I moved into my office that I would eventually want to invest in a rug or two since I’m not entirely 100% happy with the rugs I’m currently using. I have a natural color faux cowhide rug in the sitting area and a blush pink real cowhide under my desk. I actually …
We finished my office bathroom a few weeks ago but I have yet to put the finishing touches on it because I just wasn’t quite ready… my vision wasn’t complete, but I’m closer now 🙂 Since I’m renting and paying for all the upgrades, I didn’t go all out on the bathroom but instead used …
I spotted these incredibly awe-inspiring spaces on Instagram and immediately wanted to move in! Upon doing a little more research I found that rather than actual living quarters, these images are works of art by New York Times senior designer, 3D animation and illustration artist, Joe Mortell and I just had to share! In a …
