Now that we’re back in a two bedroom, I’m loving the fact that I can close my office door – either to keep noise out, or to shut it away post-work hours. Not loving the fact that we don’t have any furniture for the room besides a desk and a few other random pieces that migrated in here. Like a lot of secondary spaces, it has become the dumping ground for all the stuff that ...

Our entry is kind of clogged with doors – the front door, a bathroom door, and double closet doors. Other than a little half-wall that divides the entry from the dining area, there is one tiny wall that I could fit an entry table on. And in the two plus months we’d lived here before the wedding without one, our keys were always on the kitchen counter or dining table. Annoying. So pretty much the ...

Happy October! That means it’s 11 days to our wedding! On one hand I feel super prepared, and then on the other hand it seems like the list of things to do never gets smaller! SO glad we hired a day-of coordinator (who actually is like a month-of coordinator) because I’d be going crazy with the details at this point. Anyway, today I am trying to finish up the work that HAS to be done before ...

One thing about moving to California is that I’m really being drawn to bring natural elements into my designs. I have always been an advocate for natural pieces, but it’s really come front-and-center in the design as we get settled. When Lamps.com offered to send me a lamp for our new apartment, you can understand why I was immediately drawn to this basket weave table lamp! The natural texture is exactly what I’m craving to round ...

One of my favorite things to do in my own home (and that I consider when selecting products for clients), is to make purchases with lots of versatility. Especially for young people who will move often before buying a home, a piece of furniture that is flexible and will adapt to fit multiple homes and decor is worth its weight in gold. When Naomi over at Design Manifest showed how she had used her David Hicks ...

Hello, hello! Welcome to our (new) humble abode! I took these last Tuesday, right after we got the keys but before the movers brought all our stuff on Wednesday. It’s already looking very different! If you remember from my first post about this place, it is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath. The photo above is looking through the living/dining/kitchen, past the laundry closet, into the master suite. My back is to the guest bath. The door ...

What’s a couple to do when they have a small outdoor space with an equally small budget? Head to Ikea, of course! Here’s what I’m considering testing out and picking up if we can get there before they end all the outdoor sections! 1. If we had space for a dining set, I’d be considering this one. 2. I like the modern look of these chairs. Comfortable? We’ll see. 3. These are awesome but I wonder how they’ll ...

I thought it might be fun to do one last wrap up post about our former apartment. I never quite got to finish it the way I’d have liked, and my plans to have it professionally photographed before we moved proved to be too much for me to handle in the flurry of leaving the state. So we’ll have to make due with a few of my favorite snapshots over the two years we lived ...

One of the elements I’m most thrilled about with our new apartment is that we will have a balcony – and being on the top floor means our little corner of outdoor space will get plenty of sunshine for growing some herbs, flowers, and plants. Maybe even some veggies! Our last apartment was the first to not have any sort of outdoor space – not even a communal patio – and I missed having that option ...

One of the major home purchases on the horizon for us is a new sofa. We’ve been wanting one for years but considering the expense and that we have had a perfectly serviceable (just discolored) sofa, the purchase has been on the back burner for some time. We decided last spring that we’re moving that up the priority list and will make a decision after the wedding in October. With the move across two states, I ...
