A Festive Christmas Table
When I began brainstorming a fun holiday gathering and decor to match, the first thing that ran through my mind was candy cane candlesticks. From there, the idea of multi-colored flowers, Christmas crackers, and our china bloomed...
To kick off the festive mood, a faux-boxwood wreath from ...
Decking the Halls
This season, I could hardly wait for Thanksgiving to end before pulling out the holiday decor. I made it, but barely. I bounced out of bed that Friday, cleared the pumpkins from the table and the front porch, and the man and I set to pulling our new tree out of the box.
I jokingly told Bryan ...
Black Friday: The Gift Guide
Oh, Black Friday, you're here again... Somewhere, deep down inside of me, nestled in with the exorbitant amount of butternut squash pie I ate yesterday (and the Bourbon I washed it down with), there's the innate need to shop, to hand off gifts in pretty packaging with poofy bows, to stuff stockings ...

Bringing it Home: How to Not Lose Sight of your Favorite Place(s)
It's no secret that the man and I are in love with Palm Springs. Since we began vacationing there several years ago, our annual September jaunt is how we keep track of the years... Not our anniversary, not NYE, but the view of the mountains and dinner at Sandfish. We always come home to the ...
Coronado Update: Exterior Reveal, Part 1
When we first stumbled upon our house, she wasn't exactly the ugliest house on the block, but you could tell she'd been through it. There was a Sycamore in the front yard 4 feet through the middle if it was an inch. It's roots had jacked up pieces of the concrete driveway. The front doors and ...
