Reminds me so much of Hana, Maui. Honest, simple, happy and real.

I love glossy, staged shoots as much as anyone, but its great to see a home that is truly lived in.

Can I sleep over?!

I'm getting married in June so this is perfect timing. Neither of us like asking for things, but it was fun -though strange- to put together a registry (which, by most standards is still pretty lean). For those who know us well, we have a "registry" on Pinterest with random fun things from Etsy and around the internets.We also have asked for family heirlooms or second hand items as well.

For folks like my grandparents who are old fashioned and may not understand why I want a hideous taxidermy mouse cake-topper, we have more traditional things like towels, pots and pans, etc. A little something for everyone and their price points. Having people share this event with us is more than enough, so any gift large or small is a major blessing.

The kitchen is outstanding- it feels really warm and welcoming and like I would want to cook there. Although I'm sure by most American standards it would be considered "small", but it looks like it is really functional; I pulled all of the pictures for my kitchen reno inspiration folder.

Not everything was my style, but the feeling of the home was just that- homey. Not staged or pretentious.

I just wanted to say how jealous I am of your fabulous mantel. I looked at a rental several years ago that had one very similar, but it had hidden "stash" compartments all over it. So bleepin awesome.

UGH...so true!

Being a designer with the ability to get pretty much whatever I want -and pay wholesale (!!)- is sometimes overwhelming.

I am in the process of buying a home -our first home- and we decided that we're not evening thinking about what we will do to the place until we close and its a done deal. Then, live in it for a while.

One of our favorite tricks we tell people is to rotate your stuff- put some of it away, bring it into another room... it makes you look at your space in a different way, and feels like you have something new.

cork is the new burlap.

What a stunning, cozy cabin on its own, but the story behind it makes it all the better. Seeing the limb with the swing brought a tear to my eye- what a lovely way to sit and remember your dad.

You can't go wrong with booze or flowers. I love both of those as gifts.

MUST HAVE LUNA GLOBE!!!!!!!!!!

That's only a mere foot over the 3' radius most people have as their "comfort bubble".
