blue bedroom, luxe bedroom, peaceful bedroom

My master bedroom is in major need of a makeover. I’m looking for something that will feel calming and effortless. Today I’m drawn to blue (who knows what tomorrow will bring).
Here are a few designs that I find inspiring.

10 Desert Landscapes to Make You Swoon

cactus, drought resistant, landscape, plants, Southern California, Succulents

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend.  Mine was jam-packed and fun-filled, so no complaints here.

Today I’m feeling inspired by beautiful landscapes.  Particularly those found in my native Southern California and other drought-prone locales.  From traditional cacti to aloe vera plants, these drought tolerant beauties will make you think twice about desert life.

Christmas in July

Christmas Card, Christmas in July, family portrait, happiness, photoshoot

I’m not sure when Christmas in July became a thing, but I’m cool with it.  Christmas is my FAVORITE holiday so I see no issues getting into the spirit in the middle of summer.

On that note, I realized that I never shared our first official family photo-shoot we did for our Christmas cards this past year.  So here you go… enjoy!

Last but not least… the outtake

Let’s face it, working is not always fun; but one way to make it less painful is to have a super cute desk.  What would my perfect desk look like?  A clean white a parsons desk with lots of gold accessories.

Exteriors, Interior design, photography, pink, Solange

Happy Monday, everyone!  I figured since it’s the Monday after a 3-day weekend (which seems much more painful than a regular monday), I’d provide you with a little pick me up.  A little bit of pink should perk you right up.
