I’ve been feeling a little down on myself because I’ve been having the hardest time keeping up with blog posts lately—it’s not easy to keep up with the daily ins-and-outs of creating content when there are also larger, ongoing projects in the works! So I thought I’d share a peek at one of those projects […]
Every morning, when I wake up and walk into our recently completed kitchen, I pinch myself that this is my home! As I’ve shared, the 4-month renovation process wasn’t easy, but it was so worth it to have a light, bright, beautiful, and functional space for cooking. Grateful doesn’t even really begin to describe how we […]
Last Friday I got a sneak peek at a new home decor launch from Target, and while I know it’s totally a cliche to say it, I can’t resist: Target does it again! The latest release is an in-house brand called Opalhouse, and it’s pretty darn special. Target’s design team drew upon inspiration from around […]
As much as I love the luxury of a stay at a fancy hotel, there’s an undeniable appeal to renting a house while traveling. You feel like you have a home base to relax in, and you get to live like a local for a while. And if you play your cards right, the rental […]
Exactly one year ago, I was wrapping up an epic adventure in India with the team from Jaipur Living. In the time since then, it’s been wonderful to watch all the great things the company is up to. They’re consistently at the forefront of the trends with their ever-evolving collection of rugs and other home […]
Last weekend we took a quick 2-day jaunt to Mexico for a friend’s wedding, and the trip reminded me that I’ve yet to share photos from our honeymoon in Todos Santos on the Baja Peninsula last December! That vacation was definitely one of the highlights of 2017 for us—second only to the wedding itself, of […]
For years I’ve been crushing on Australian design. It seems as though every time I see a residential or commercial project that both pushes the envelope but also feels totally approachable and inviting, it’s located Down Under! It’s hard to put my finger on exactly why that country’s interiors firms have such visionary sensibilities, but […]
I’ve lost track of how many years I’ve known Donna Garlough, but suffice to say we go way back. She’s been a prominent member of the design and online media scene for ages, first as a magazine editor and then as the style director at Joss & Main. And as if her resume weren’t impressive enough, for […]
Who doesn’t love a hot-off-the-presses design project to ogle? That’s exactly what I’ve got for you guys today: A just-completed, whole-home renovation from Bay Area-based interiors guru Jeff Schlarb. Jeff describes his signature look as “Rad Elegance”, and the phrase is utterly apt in these images from one of his latest projects. It’s the perfect […]
We are so close to wrapping up the final few details on the resources used in our kitchen renovation! It’s been such fun sharing the journey with you; and writing about it after the fact, turning the spotlight on my amazing design and brand partners, has really helped me shift into gratitude for how beautifully this […]
As wonderful as it is to ogle design images on Pinterest and decor shopping sites, there’s nothing quite like seeing it all person. Not only is it important for for the benefit of being able to touch a chair’s upholstery, test a pitcher’s weight, and of course test a sofa’s tush comfort, but it’s also an […]
When we finally finished renovating our kitchen late last November, we were so ready to move back into it! We’d been cooking on a hot plate in our bathroom for three months at that point, our foodstuffs were stored in boxes in the living room, and poor Ivan had worked with the electric hum of […]
