7 Beachy Finds for a Quick Summer Makeover
Do you get the feeling that just about everyone is out of office right now? My Instagram feed is awash in shades of turquoise blue water right now, so I’m definitely feeling the need for a dose of summer, even if it’s in the comfort of my home. It doesn’t have to be a total overhaul, you could […]
10 Father’s Day Gifts You’ll Want to Keep for Yourself
It’s unclear why dads are the hardest customers to shop for. Maybe it’s because they have a tendency of getting what they want for themselves. Or maybe it’s because they tend to be (as a group) not expecting of gifts in general. Whatever the case, Father’s Day is an annual consumer crisis and we all […]
The Cutest Kids’ Chore Chart
One of the biggest challenges in parenting a preschool-aged kid is teaching responsibility — without constantly nagging. Now that Phoebe’s almost four, we’ve decided that she’s ready to take on a few simple chores to learn the importance of pitching in and contributing to the family — plus, it’ll help me out since sometimes I […]
Daniela and Adam
Picking up a copy of Ambrosia feels like ordering dessert. The magazine (along with it’s sister publication Drift) is truly a collectible work of art — gorgeous travel photography and writing, laid out minimally on the most touchable matte paper. It’s a luxurious treat for the eyes and soul. So when we found out that […]
5 Essentials for Your Dreamiest Bedroom
I live in a studio so I pretty much have to make sure my bedroom’s presentable when I have guests over, but back when I had an actual bedroom I have to admit, it didn’t get my full design attention. Our untidy habits get the best of us in the areas we know no one will see, like that one […]
Merrilee’s Artistic Bungalow
There are some homes that instantly lift your spirits just by walking through the front door. Designer Merrilee McGehee’s colorful west Austin abode is one such smile-inducing spot, with creative details tucked into every corner and a vibe that makes you want to kick back with a glass of lemonade and stay awhile. I was first intro’d […]
Creating a Personal Photo Album
Saturday mornings are a treasured time of the week for me and Eric. We wake up when our bodies tell us to, open the windows (rain or shine), blast some music, then work together to make a breakfast out of whatever ingredients remain in our fridge after the week’s homemade lunches and dinners. The entire saga […]
15 Glamorous Vacation Rentals
Call it a weakness, but we’ve definitely been known to browse real estate that’s way out of our price range. That’s why vacation rental sites like HomeAway are our new jam: with a group of ten or so friends, our fantasy home dreams can now come true (at least for a weekend). But shopping short-term […]
Ready for Summer
I know, I know, you’re probably thinking, “Isn’t it a little premature for watermelon?” Well if you’d just tasted the sweet, juicy melon we brought home from the grocery store yesterday, you’d be feeling inspired too. It only took two bites for me to be transported — childhood summers spent on the beaches of Tel […]
12 Online Shops You Need to Know About
If I’m being completely honest, we were a bit hesitant to share today’s post. While we’re all for the greater good, we’re equally aware that sharing our little black book of online shops means that they’re no longer our little secret. And with that, we can say goodbye to elusive where-did-she-get-that stares and complementary “where do you shop?” […]
How to Get That Art Gallery Vibe
Do you ever walk into an art gallery and think “This. This is exactly what I want my home to look like.” I do it every time I walk into an art gallery. When I visited Peggy Guggenheim’s Venice home turned art museum, my favorite part was seeing the old photographs of what the palazzo used to look […]
A Stylish Rustic Retreat
About 50 miles west of Austin (and 50 miles north of San Antonio) sits the historic town of Blanco. It’s known around central Texas for it’s pioneer-style town square and beautiful riverfront park. As hill country towns go, Blanco is still relatively undiscovered — the population was still under 2,000 during the last census. The […]
Seek the Surf
When I was seventeen, I headed west with my parents to tour California schools. The UCLA and Pepperdine campuses were beautiful, but the biggest takeaway of the trip was catching my first wave on a longboard in Malibu. I ended up writing an admissions essay about the experience and submitting it (ironically) to the land-locked […]
How to Keep Your Houseplants Green & Gorgeous
If you’ve seen my house, you know I love my houseplants — there’s no chicer (or cheaper) way to add a major dose of style to any room. But what you may not know is that I’m terrible at keeping them alive. Since I’m determined to change my ways and develop a green thumb, I […]
