Well, Spring has certainly sprung already here in San Diego and it’s got us running around cleaning, organizing, donating piles of clothes and dreaming of ripping out flooring and tiling the counter and backsplash. But alas, we are renting just like millions of others, stuck with the decision (even if the owner lets you renovate): …

This gorgeous, open Spanish residence (which I found over at 1 Kind Design) was originally a fabric store which had fallen into disrepair, but the owners saw through the dilapidated building to envision its updated future.  They were drawn to the architectural quirks and the history of the place so they called on the Barcelona  …

I’ve been drooling over white, gray & black kitchens for a while now, especially when combined with wood, metal and touches of glam, rustic and vintage. Long enough to have grabbed all these fabulous images to share with you, in fact. Tell us, what colors & elements would you use in your perfect kitchen?

There are warm grays, cool grays, barely there shades that offset whites, and values …

Ever since I read the Fountainhead I’ve been totally smitten. I checked it out from the library repeatedly over a number of my years as a teen. I became so attached to the copy and each time I finished it, I inscribed a minuscule initial and date in the back blank pages of the book.  …

I’ve seen a ton of celebrities’ home around the web lately- some beautiful, some not so amazing. Most of the images I share here are from a fun blog called Hooked On Houses where you can find the rest of each house featured here and also a ton more celebs’ digs I couldn’t fit here- …

I’ve been doing a lot of cooking lately, and not just for myself & hubby this time! I’m temporarily filling in as cook for a whole hungry crew setting up for the tour season in Alaska. It makes me feel like a mom and I’m not sure how I feel about that yet! I don’t …

This is a look of been dreaming of for my bedroom- actually my dream colors have been “white, gray and goldenrod” since I like the softness combined with the pop. But I wanted to share these great images I’ve been finding of the bold trend of black white and yellow.
