Goodbye sweet studio – you’ve been amazing. I’m handing over my keys to a dear friend today and I’m excited for her to make her own memories.

I have a lot in store here this week – a delicious salad from Susan, a glimpse into my trip to Mexico, I’ll be sharing a lookbook project I worked on and much more.

Now that we’re settling into life in our new apartment things are getting back to normal – no more running back and forth. It feels so good to have one home now.

I hope all of you are off to a wonderfully productive week!

Happy Monday everyone! After a weekend of packing up the apartment it felt as though I got a lot accomplish around here but it was only a fraction of what still needs to be packed up. I keep reminding myself that once we’re done it’ll feel amazing to be in a new home. It’s weird packing up a home you’ve lived in for so long (especially the first one you’ve created). I’ve been finding special memories in each drawer, boxes and cabinet I open. I was talking to a girlfriend this morning about how moving is one of the most emotional things you can do – you’re leaving a place you’ve called home, messing with your routine, and going somewhere you want to make a home as quickly as possible but it takes time. These next two weeks will be quite interesting. If you have any tips on packing, things to do before moving, or any other inspiring words please share!

A few things inspiring me this week – back issues of Domino Magazine, my trusty vintage tape measure that I carry everywhere, and my notebook filled with to-do lists.

I hope all of you have a wonderfully productive week!

Getting a little bit of a late start this week – after working all weekend on a fabulous lookbook shoot in Carmel, I had to hit the ground running this morning working on a client deadline. It’s already been a hectic week and it’s only Monday. This week we’re starting to fix up our new apartment – painting starts tomorrow (I’m thrilled with the Benjamin Moore paint we picked out), light fixtures are arriving and we’re slowly but surely packing up the studio. I can’t believe we’re leaving our first home.

A few things I’m loving from last week – a tortoise shell I picked up in High Point, my new favorite Freda shoes that I can’t stop wearing, the luggage tag that went with me on my travels this past month, and lastly, two magazines I thoroughly enjoyed.

This week I’ll be sharing a delicious salad, my highlights from High Point, a new Room Anatomy and more!

After an incredible weekend touring showrooms, talking with editors and getting totally inspired – I’m ready for a nap. Both Grant and I were incredibly inspired when walking through Hickory Chair, Century Furniture, Bernhardt, Cisco Home  and CR Laine. We were in awe of the way they designed each space. This photo in particular comes from the Oly Studio – it was heaven. I wanted to move right in!

Now I’m on the road to Charleston – I can’t wait to discover this southern city!

Check back this week for a new refreshing recipe, a new blooms in season feature and much more.
