Happy Monday, all! I’m finally crawling out from under two weeks of the flu, and I’m back in action with another renovation resource deep dive! It’s time to turn our attention to those tiny finishing touches that, small though they may be, make a big difference in setting the tone of a space! For our hardware […]
Whenever I set a meeting with a friend and the date is a few weeks hence, I joke that we’ll settle on a location once we’re nearer to the appointed day, since “ten cool new restaurants will probably have opened between now and then.” And while the turnover in LA isn’t that drastic, there is always […]
You know how some people have a thing for shoes or bags? Or maybe their drawers overflow with more pairs of jeans than they can possibly hope to wear in one lifetime? While I’ve been known to indulge my impulses for a killer tote or must-have heel, my biggest weakness occurs on a much larger […]
As I’ve been traveling down renovation memory lane and sharing all our kitchen makeover resources with you guys, I’ve had flashes during which I all-too-vividly recall the hiccups we had along the way. No home project is ever without obstacles, of course, and our kitchen was no exception. There were the two weeks our plumber […]
Interiors trends come and go, but one thing that’s here to stay is gallery walls. Pausing to admire a successfully executed one, whether in person or on Pinterest, fills me with delight. It’s almost like the wall is sending a love letter my way—one with a sense of order and harmony that makes me feel […]
The funny thing about doing a kitchen renovation is that, as with any new experience, you find yourself taking delight from small things that you’d never even considered before. That’s exactly what happened for me when it came time to select and then install our Waterworks brass faucet and farmhouse sink. I went from being […]
Okay. Now that we’ve got the breakdown on the biggest components of our kitchen makeover crossed off the list (did you catch our cabinet + tile posts?) it’s time to start honing in on the mid-sized elements! After two months of demolition and the initial build-out, it was so rewarding to see things start to take […]
Happy Monday! Jumping back into gear with another deep-dive post into the resources and process for my kitchen makeover with Studio McGee! We started last week with the tile floor and backsplash, and now we’re moving on to one of the trickiest yet most essential and satisfying components: the cabinetry! Since I was already intimately […]
Photos of our completed kitchen remodel have at last been released into the wild! Did you catch the full reveal on My Domaine last Friday? Or how about the complete breakdown that Studio McGee did on our process and all our resources? It’s been such a delight to see the enthusiastic reception that this project […]
Happy Friday, friends! Popping in today with another bedroom makeover sneak peek in the lead-up to the full reveal. Obviously the centerpiece of a bedroom is, well, the bed—so whatever we chose had to be really spectacular! I’ve had a variety of bed frames over the years, ranging from a $99 Ikea special to a […]
Well, last week’s smooth transition into post-holiday reality has been replaced with this week’s “frazzled squirrel on a sugar high” mindset. I don’t know what it is but my focus is all over the place! Somehow, though, in between eking out a few emails per hour and pacing aimlessly back and forth between my desk and […]
In the last week I’ve talked to so many people who are using the slow ramp-up of January to ease back into work and set new priorities. I’m myself am in the same boat. In contrast to the holidays, when the blog posts seem to write themselves (gift guides! tablescapes!), January is my time to […]
