style, stories & everything in between
to make it feel festive in our dorm room freshman year in college, my roommate and i put up twinkly lights along the perimeter of the ceiling. thank goodness we didn't have to pay a utility bill because i'm fairly certain we were responsible for pepperdine's higher monthly gas and electric fee that year. also, it ...
this is a photo of my guest room vanity. i wish i had a "before" shot but i don't so just picture a barely-holding-on-by-a-hope-and-prayer 80's-style towel rack, a mirror that covered the entire length of the wall and a light fixture (though the new style is barely visible in this pic) that was also in ...
it's (almost) the weekend, y'all! and despite the forecast for a summer (thunder) storm, S and i won't let it put a damper on our plans! items on the weekend agenda include a trip to stone brewery in escondido, brunch in downtown encinitas, and taking our beach cruisers for a ride around the neighborhood. i know ...

why do the short work-weeks always feel 1,000 years long? we made it to friday, kids (cue your happy dance)! for the most part, i have a pretty low-key weekend ahead (and i like it that way). hoping the open schedule will leave S and i time to finish off the final episodes of breaking bad (we only have five ...
#operationredecoration made large strides over the weekend as S and i rolled up our sleeves and got to painting my living room. as previously mentioned, we settled upon "universal grey" from glidden paint's collection. along with the gallon of paint, S had picked up a starter kit with rollers and tray at his last trip to ...
