Happy weekend, lovelies! Full disclosure: I’m typing this from the Aspen Food & Wine Classic, next to a half-empty glass of pinot noir and with a slight “cheese coma”…so forgive any grammatical lapses. We arrived Thursday night, and it’s been back-to-back parties, tastings and cooking demos from some of the most rockstar chefs and sommeliers… read more

Transformed :: Wood & Leather Suspended Shelf
Claire here! And today I’m bringing you a DIY project that’s so simple, I’m wondering why I didn’t attempt it sooner. I don’t know if you have ever seen this beautiful piece by Lightly, but my friend showed it to me and I fell in love — the clean lines, unfinished materials, and simple design make it… read more
Summer Survival Bag
Sometimes it just feels like there’s so much to pull together every time I leave the house: cash, phone, ID, lipstick for me; diapers, wipes, toys, outfit change and snacks for Phoebe…and the list goes on. But the truth is, being prepared goes a long way towards making me feel sane and organized, and I’m… read more
Bring It Home :: Personal Style
Cristina here!

Tonight I’ll be partaking in one of my very favorite weekend activities — trying out a new restaurant with friends. While I still love the occasional dance party, these days I’m craving… read more
A Letterpress Class:: with Carriage House Design
We’re always going on and on about paper around here — personalized stationery, greeting cards, thank you notes, we’re obsessed to say the least. And while we love anything letterpress, the process behind letterpress printing (and the machine itself) has always been so intimidating. I’d never actually given thought to learning how to letterpress until I… read more
Bring It Home :: Kitchen Caprese
Cristina here, and to me Memorial Day weekend is always a short, tantalizing taste of summer. An amuse-bouche that gets me excited for the upcoming pool days, entertaining friends, summer fruits, maybe even a bit of travel… And this sunny kitchen on the Italian island of Capri embodies all of the above! The space was originally a… read more
