Happy Monday friends!
Last night I captured this image of one of my closest friends, Katie, with her adorable baby, on Instagram. Besides the fact that I love her and her babes, I also love this space that she is sitting in. It belongs to my cousin Kelly who has 3 kids under the age of 2. Oh yeah. She’s amazing! I love the fact that through the business of life, Kelly has added personal touches throughout her home that are significate and personal to her and her family. With these touches, there isn’t lack of style in her home. One detail that I love is the canvas that has the dates of her kids birthdays and her wedding date. So simple yet so meaningful.
How have you added meaningful details to your home?
Lately on Instagram: Now that school is out, Eden wants to do a whole lotta this.
Pantone always gives us the best color choices. I have my eye on some of those greens!
Who doesn’t love a good peonie???
It’s hot here and thankfully a lot of our parks have great water features.
Mr. Tree has been in our living room but I decided to see what he looked like by our front door. LOVE.

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that Eden graduated from Kindergarten. I couldn’t be more proud of my little girl. To celebrate this moment, I threw a little party for our family of four to honor Eden Jo. And just in the nick of time because Martha Stewart recently launched MarthaCelebrations at JCPenney. I used the sterling collection and mixed it with natural elements in the branches. Eden has a lot of sparkle and hippy in her, so I thought this collaboration worked for her.
MarthaCelebration truly has every party need already figured out. You’ll find the colors you need in every party accessorie that you can think of. I’m convinced that I should throw a party a week just to use all of these fun products!
From June 7th – 14th, any of you who repin my party images from the #LetsCelebrate pin party board (and uses the hashtag #letscelebrate in the caption) will be entered to win your very own celebration-in-a-box. Just think, you could throw a party for no other reason than to use some cool party products!
All the MarthaCelebrations at JCPenney products featured in this post were provided by the Editors at Martha Stewart Living, a team that loves a good party and deeply admires the bloggers who throw them.
One area of my house that my kids love to hang out in is our small eating area, directly off the kitchen. It’s a round table with kids friendly chairs. It’s a great place to color, read, play games and of course eat. These three eating areas are perfectly perfect kid friendly spaces. Above we see kids art displayed behind a modern table. This eco friendly apartment by Design Development NYC, shows that kid friendly design can still be stylish design.
I’m in love with this space! The colors are soothing and I give the art two thumbs up.
I can imagine little ones hanging out in this space for hours. That art wall alone is super cool.

It amazes me how many cool chair options there are floating around the world right now. The days of boring boxed chairs are over. We see all shapes, colors and sizes emerging. Below we see a few off the chart chairs. Some may be a little out of your price range. If so, just have fun browsing and dreaming.

You can never have too many throw blankets. At least that’s what I believe! By Mölle introduces blankets made of undyed Scandinavian wool. This pure wool is from Norwegian and Swedish sheep, selected by color and carefully spun. They do not dye nor bleach because they use the grey and brown shades as the basis for their graphic pattern. This modern blanket completely inspired by nature.
Shop these blankets and more here.
A wood paneled ceiling is a modern approach to adding warmness to a space. Each of these spaces use a lot of white mixed with the wood tones. It’s a fresh and clean collaboration. I’m loving this look!

Happy Monday to you all! I’m running at turtle speed this morning. I’ve already consumed two cups of coffee and I’m thinking about starting on a third. With Summer here and school out, it’s already called for late nights and early mornings. Speaking of Summer, I have a question for all of you working moms with kids at home…….how do you do it?? Seriously! Do you work from home with your kids also at home? And if so, how do you keep them busy while you plug away? Because my office is in my home, it’s just them and I! I’m thinking about putting my kids in a few summer camps but on the days that they are home, I need some creative ideas so that they are not consumed with TV. Just a Monday thought!

Lately on Instagram: My Eden Jo graduated from Kindergarten on Wednesday. How has this happened?? Time flies much too quickly.
While in California with Promise, we visited H.D. Buttercup. We found lots of goodies there for her home. This was one of my favorite areas of the store.
And in honor of Memorial Day, I had to Instagram this pretty moment from H.D. Buttercup.
My cousin, who is one of my besties, moved to LA a few months ago. We were reunited just for a few hours last week. Love her to the moon.
I bought a fern for my dining room. I’m loving it against the Swag Paper.

Father’s Day is right around the corner! It seems like decor would be the last option you would consider for your dad. Above are a few fun ideas that would put a little sporty/masculinity into your space, in honor of the dad in your life!

Recently I was hired by founder and graphic designer for Promise Tangeman Creative and Sitehouse, Promise Tangeman (seen above with me, walking the streets of LA). She, along with her hubby, Brian Wurzell, are in the process of building a home. Promise, a graphic phenomenon, naturally wants to implement a lot of graphic and architectural elements. Her vision for her home goes far beyond the furniture and accessories, and I highly appreciate her for this. It’s going to stretch me as a designer which excites me! Below is a sample of inspiration that we have gathered for her home. Each piece of the puzzle gets pinned on a Pinterest private board for Promise and I to discuss details back and forth. It’s a designers dream to have this source to use with our clients.

If you follow me on Instagram, you saw my picture yesterday of some serious wallpaper installation going on. Because we live in a rental, we cannot install permanent wallpaper so we rely on temporary wallpaper. I have to say that Swag Paper is some of the best quality paper that I’ve ever worked with. It’s nice and thick, and it goes on super easy! I’ll show you more images of my dining room as the weeks go on!
Shop Swag Paper here.
I’ve been working with a new client (more on that tomorrow) and we’ve been discussing creative stair options, which got me thinking and searching for fun stair installations. Who says stairs have to be boring and normal? I love this navy blue option! It’s classic, fun and not over the top.
How beautiful are these stairs? Not the most kid friendly but still so charming.
Bright and punchy describe these fantastic Ombre stairs.
