So excited to see our leopard pillows in the August issue of Matchbook Magazine, out today! Editorial Director Katie Armour used them in the decor of her California apartment, which is featured starting on page 66. Click on over to check it out!

Are you on Instagram?  I use it every now and then …when my phone will cooperate.  I’m planning to use it more often once I get a new phone next week. My current one is incredibly slow, will go to a blank screen even though it’s on, will randomly turn off on it’s own (even though it supposedly still has battery life), among other things (can you tell I’m frustrated with it? lol).  You can see my current Instagram photos here. This weekend we’re finally getting around to painting the bedroom so I’ll likely be taking a few progress shots of that. Let me know if you have an account, would love to see your photos!

Enjoyed a lovely brunch this morning and planning to catch the fireworks by the harbor later in the evening.

Hope you’re having a wonderful 4th of July!

p.s.  Aren’t those wedge espadrilles adorable? They’re on sale here!

Sorry for the unexpected long silence here! I didn’t plan to be away from the blog for so long. I’ve had several things going on at once these past few weeks, and with little downtime available to unwind and re-energize, honestly, it’s been somewhat overwhelming and draining.

I’m just now starting to create a bit more breathing room to get a balance back.  I’ve missed having time to do things like cook at home, exercise regularly, take Little Foot to the dog park, visit with friends, have a leisurely weekend, work on projects, make some progress on the apartment, write blog posts, catch up on my blog reading, etc. … I’m looking forward to integrating those things back in to my days.

I will be giving my mom the royal treatment this weekend.  She is my mentor, my role model, my greatest supporter, always giving her love and kindness.  I feel so fortunate to be her daughter.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms out there!

My hubby and I will be heading out to the movies tonight to watch The Vow -have you seen it yet? Something similar actually happened to us a little over a year ago – my husband had a head injury causing him to lose a few years of memory and didn’t remember the time we dated, got married, etc., – so I’m prepared for it to be a tearjerker!

Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day filled with love!

Loving these fresh, serene, neutral spaces…

Isn’t that bath beautiful? I could spend hours there…

Hope you’re having a wonderful Monday!
