Design

Home is more than a place—it’s a feeling. We’re inspired by spaces that feel grounded and welcoming, warm and minimal. Our design approach leans into the wabi-sabi beauty of the imperfect, seeking a deep connection with the objects we bring into our homes.

Weekend Notes

This weekend is for pulling on cozy socks, curling up with a good book, making big bowls of pasta, and pretending like it’s colder outside than it really is. After spending all of last weekend completely glued to my computer screen as we geared up for our new site launch, I’m determined to let emails wait […]

Olive & June Nail Salon

I couldn’t believe it when I first saw it, but this sublime sitting area is not the living room of a stylist or a blogger. In a first for this series, today we are talking about bringing home the look of — get this — a nail salon. The phrase nail salon typically conjures up a […]

On My Nightstand

I might say this with the arrival of every new season, but seems to me that there’s no better time to stash a crop of new books on your nightstand than the cozy nights of early fall. Although the temp here in Austin is still hitting 90 degrees on some days, the tiniest hint at […]

Jennifer Rose Smith’s Loft Apartment

Whether it’s an inborn trait or something that’s carefully honed over time, there’s no denying that some people simply possess really good taste. Our art director, Jennifer Rose Smith, is one of them (lucky us!), and she has that rare knack of making everything she touches appear hip, thoughtful, and never overdone. In other words, just […]

Hong Kong

To say that Deana Saukam and Paul Qui are well-traveled and well-fed would be an understatement. In just the time we’ve been corresponding about this specific story, the couple has been to Hong Kong, Seattle, Vancouver, Alaska, Copenhagen, New York and Portland, and since the duo owns and operates some of Austin’s most renowned restaurants […]

We Got a Major Makeover!

Yes, we are looking a little different today, and I couldn’t be happier to unveil the all-new site design that we’ve been toiling over for the last several months. Especially in this constantly changing space, I believe that it’s crucial to stay fluid, stay flexible, and keep evolving with technological advances, and my goal with this relaunch […]

Monochromatic Monday :: Espresso Yourself

Ah, coffee. Not only does it taste heavenly and — the obvious — wake you up, but for me, it’s an absolute must if I’m expected to have a positive, creativity-filled day. After living in Paris this summer (un cafe au lait, s’il vous plait), I seem to have found myself joining the ranks of the […]

10 Best Fantasy Closets

Has anyone else diagnosed herself with closet-full-of-clothes-but-nothing-to-wear syndrome? It feels like every time I set foot in my closet I fall down a black hole of digging, tossing and mismatching… and more often than not, the solution somehow ends up being to buy more clothes! There’s no question that an organized closet makes for better dressing and less frivolous […]

How To Choose the Perfect Rug

If her entertaining style and coffee table styling skills didn’t already have you crushing on Ann Edgerton, something tells me today’s conversation is sure to do the trick. We invited the design guru behind Ann Lowe Design to give us a much-needed lesson in finding that elusive perfect rug… because most of us know what we like and know what we don’t like, but still think […]

Giveaway :: $500 Worth of Holiday Cards

No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you — those are in fact jingle bells, red and white ribbons, and evergreen details in the image above. Believe it or not, we’re just a couple months out from the holiday season, which means its officially permissible to start thinking about the greeting cards you’ll be sending family and friends. […]

Besties :: Marissa and Katie

It’s a small world sometimes — when we reached out to our friend Katie Crown at ELLE Magazine to talk about being part of our Besties series, we were surprised and delighted to learn that her best friend is Marissa Lippert, a New York nutritionist (and now restauranteur) whose work we’ve admired for years. We […]

Monochromatic Monday :: Indian Summer Part II

Sometimes we play a game here in the office where we look through all the old posts in the mono monday feed and pick our favorites. It’s somewhat mesmerizing to watch the seasons change over and over through the feed, and fun to look back on the old trends we explored — some good and […]

How to Deal with Disappointment

I’m a pretty “glass half full” kind of gal, which serves me well except for those times when my assumptions that the best will happen don’t really pan out. It’s those times that I’m taken off-guard, shocked to learn that, occasionally, the worst does indeed happen. Today we’re talking about disappointment, that universal feeling that is an […]
