TEN LOVELY VESSELS TO HOLD YOUR SUCCULENTS.



Although it's true that I do not have the best track record for keeping plants alive, I can't help but envision our new California home filled to the brim with wild succulents and flowering cacti. In handmade pretty vessels, of course.

INTERIOR INSPIRATION : ROOMS FOR THE KIDDOS.



At the end of this month, we will be moving into a new place and my mind has been on decorating it. In our old Portland house, my kids had an attic bedroom that was cluttered and nestled away from the eyes of visitors. Now I am hoping to give them a handsome, well-designed space that flows with the rest of our home.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY : GO BE IT.

INTERIOR INSPIRATION : POOLSIDE COLORS.



At the moment, I am sitting in my temporary work spot which faces a sparkling pool basked in the California sunshine- quite a big change from the pouring Portland rain. This view puts bright, sunshine-y colors on my brain: palm tree greens, pool blues, bikini pinks, and of course, warm yellows.
