JULY (p)INSPIRATION
If you’re following along on Pinterest, there is no doubt where my mind is currently….most, if not all, of my recent saves have been of perches with a bird’s eye view of the sea, beautiful, silvered cedar shakes and quite a few shots of the Italian coast. I’m so inspired by all the shades of…
LOVING LATELY: BLACK SUNDRESSES FOR SUMMER
While I’m always partial to a white summer dress (eyelet, preferably), lately all but one of the dresses I’ve bought this summer have been black. I love a black sundress with leather Grecian sandals and a textured tote bag or clutch for a simple, laid back but elegant vibe that can easily go from running…
LOVING LATELY
We are loving being on summer schedule, with nowhere to be and nothing to be doing, with the exception of baseball and swim practice a couple times a week, which leaves all the pool and quiet time that we don’t have during the schoolyear. Of course, I am loving every minute of this much-needed downtime…
FRIDAY FIVE
After an entire week of rain and thunderstorms, I’m so ready for some sunshine and pool time this weekend! Time has been flying faster than ever lately and this week has been no exception. I’m looking forward to some much-needed, low key family time, game night and movie night and trying a few new recipes.…
MAY (p)INSPIRATION
One more week until school is officially out, and while we still have quite a few activities to get through, my mind is already on slow summer days, thanks to my Pinterest scrolling as of late. Lots of silvered cedar shakes, beautiful architectural details, vintage Broncos and gauzy linens are floating through my feed and…
LOVING LATELY
For someone who has always gravitated toward all shades of blues and grays, this time of year, I always crave more green – especially when paired with lots of texture, glass and linen for a sophisticated but approachable seasonal change. Wicker chandelier shades, burl wood picture frames, iraca baskets, beautiful ridged glassware and tortoise side…
FRIDAY FIVE
Happy Friday! Climbing out from under a mountain of laundry and taking a break from vacuuming up the two tons of dog fur that seem to accumulate every 24 hours to share a few finds I’m loving from this week! We opened the pool last weekend and so I’m feeling all the summer things –…
VASE ROUNDUP FOR SPRING + SUMMER BLOOMS
We are anxiously awaiting all the gomphrena, cosmos, zinnia and dahlias we planted a few weeks back to bloom and for every surface to soon be covered with handfuls of blooms all summer long! When it comes to displaying them, I like to use simple vessels to keep the focus on the blooms, usually preferring…
SPRING AT HOME
April and May are undoubtedly the busiest of the year, with the end of school and all the projects, field trips and activities that go along with it. The last few weeks, while silent on the blog, have been fast-paced and exciting in real life, but I did manage to snap a few photos of…
APRIL (p)INSPIRATION
We’re coming off of a wonderful spring break and are in the home stretch of the school year, but also inching closer to long summer days by the pool with friends and family! This year the pollen has been brutal, so I’ve been anxiously awaiting its departure so that we can open the pool and…
LOVING LATELY
It’s going up to 90 degrees today, so naturally, my mind is on all the summer things. I’m not quite ready for it to be this warm, but since I’m knee-deep in pollen and 98% humidity, I’m thinking of all the burl wood, polished nickel, lots of texture and a fresh pop of greenery. I…
NEUTRAL DECOR PICKS
The change in seasons always brings about a burst of color, which is always a welcome change from the doldrums of winter, but for me, crisp whites and lots of texture will always reign supreme when ushering in warmer weather and longer days. Rattan, bamboo, polished nickel and ironstone are fresh and classic and go…
