I’m not a huge sale person. You definitely will never find me waiting in line for hours with other rabid shoppers, or camping out in a parking lot for doorbuster deals. But I do love Black Friday for the fact that it’s the one instance when all my favorite basics—the luxe, timeless staples that never go […]
Right now, as I type these words, we are putting the finishing touch on our kitchen renovation: brand spanking new custom blinds from The Shade Store! And by “we”, I mean the pro installer that The Shade Store sends to complete every custom window treatments order that lands on their desk. He’s in the kitchen […]
It’s time for another dispatch from my trip to this fall’s High Point Market! Everywhere I looked as I toured the showrooms on the Design Bloggers Tour, I was smitten with all the Art Deco inspired pieces I spotted. I just couldn’t get enough of the chunky shapes, sultry curves, and unexpected details. After so […]
I’ve already waxed poetic about my great admiration for interiors firm Stewart-Schafer (their minimalist modern interior design tips is one of my most popular posts!) so I’m excited to share some of their latest work! I’m always fascinated by retail and commercial design—I love to see how designers bring a brand’s identity to life in […]
There are coffee table books you look at. There are coffee table books you pour over, read every last word, and dog ear countless pages so you can refer back to them for inspiration in moments of need. And then there are coffee table books you buy multiple copies of because everyone in your life […]
Things are really starting to shape up around here! Slowly but surely, every day we chip away at the chaos that has ruled our house since we first demo’ed our kitchen last August. For example? Now that our hallway isn’t a staging ground for painting and carpentry, I’ve been able to transform it into what […]
The week before last found me pounding the pavement at High Point Market in search of the season’s latest and greatest interiors and decor trend finds. High Point is the largest furnishings trade show in the world, which means I logged some serious steps! It was my third trip to market, and this time around […]
If you’re like me and totally delinquent on decorating for Halloween—with the big day only a week away!—then don’t despair! It’s never too late to incorporate some spooky touches around the house, and to do it in a chic and subtle way. Here’s a shelf I styled for a recent Instagram post, and it was […]
It’s Light Lab makeover week here on the blog! Between Tuesday’s lounge update and today’s post, it’s only natural that a space conceived two years ago would by now be ready for a refresh, inside and the out. After all, whether it’s your home or your workspace, staying engaged and inspired depends largely on whether […]
We just celebrated the one year mark of opening Light Lab to the public, and boy does it feel great to be humming along! Our first nine months in the space were fraught with the many headaches and roadblocks of the renovation, but since then it’s been smooth sailing. We love to welcome visitors to […]
Do you guys know Kyla from House of Hipsters? Not only is her style en pointe, she’s the queen of building community online. (Like seriously, if you need someone to be your biggest cheerleader, Kyla’s got your back). Most recently, she rounded up a bunch of us bloggers to participate in the No Makeup Home Tour—a […]
As far as I’m concerned, the most dangerous spot in LA isn’t a back alley or a freeway median, it’s The Apartment by The Line. It’s impossible to walk into their impeccably curated space, full of decor, fashion, and apothecary finds, without wanting one of everything—and without walking out with at least one of something. The edit […]
