DIY Margarita Bar for Cinco de Mayo
The first time I met Elizabeth was at a photoshoot for the Shop she was the stylist on. I was so jet-lagged from Japan I could barely keep my eyes open, but even at our early call time, she was moving through the "set" (a beautiful house in Brentwood) styling cupcakes, gathering ...read more
Ombre Shoe Shelf DIY
Six months ago, we used BEHR® paint to create a signature wall in our office. It was one of the first design decisions we made (we barely had any furniture at that point, compared to now) and the on-brand, playful hue really helped the space feel like our own. Our home, on the ...read more
Painted Pinecone DIY
We've had the same Christmas decorations for years, and while I love the nostalgia invoked by ornaments we've had since the first Christmas G and I spent together, I try each year to add something homemade, to keep things from feeling stale. When Leslie returned from her ...read more
Faux Earthenware DIY
Pottery has been one of my quiet obsessions for a long time. It's one of the first details I'm drawn to when I enter a new space and I'm always on the look out for beautiful pieces. The only problem is how surprisingly pricey certain items can be, so we took a stab at creating ...read more

Ombre Picnic Utensils
Outdoor entertaining should be simple, casual and convenient, so I made little sets of ombré-painted utensils wrapped in napkins (that I keep corralled in a basket in the kitchen) so I can easily grab them when we're eating dinner outside or to a picnic at the park. It's one ...read more
DIY Bathtub Tray
I’m not taking baths right now (California is going through a record setting drought), so our master bathtub feels like an afterthought. I’ve always enjoyed the look of a bathtub tray, but the ones I've seen feel a little too utilitarian or industrial. I wanted one that looked ...read more
Outdoor Summer Plate DIY
Entertaining is at its best on warm, summer nights. We keep our meals simple and whenever the weather's nice, we throw a few large blankets on the front lawn and eat outside. Since I don't love the idea of bringing our nice plates out on the grass, I bought some more durable ...read more
Framed Leaf DIY
Plants can bring life to a space, and while we have some well-loved ones throughout our home, we wanted some greenery in the office. But, because of the limited floor space, it could be overwhelming to dedicate an entire corner to a potted plant. So, we came up with an easy ...read more
Copper Clothing Rack DIY
When we moved offices, I no longer had enough space to keep a stable of clothes out in plain view. I missed the inspiration that it provided (not to mention a reminder to fall back in love with some lesser-worn items) and decided it was time to bring the rack back for the ...read more
Turning Digital Photos Into Prints
When I was in high school, I carried the essentials in my backpack: roll-on glitter, my trusty yellow-lens sunglasses (yes, I looked jaundiced), an overly perfumed body lotion and a disposable camera. I documented just about every aspect of my life and picking up developed ...read more
Simple Summer Stationery
I like to keep a few simple supplies on hand to make personalized cards, whether it’s for a last minute birthday or a thank you card for an unexpected gift. A little card stock, thread and paints go a long way in creating something personalized (in about the same amount of time ...read more

A New Coachella Flower Crown Idea
I love the look of a whimsical flower crown when paired with a flowy top, cut-offs and fringed sandals. It's such a pretty vibe for spring and particularly perfect for Coachella. Since there will be hordes of other girls rocking similar looks at music festivals this season, I ...read more
DIY Ring Cones
I have a friend who constantly forgets to wear her engagement and wedding rings. She takes them off to wash dishes, to shower, and before going bed. Because she doesn’t wear much jewelry, she often leaves home without them, only to realize they’re missing hours later. I decided ...read more
Gifting Homemade Pickled Vegetables
Finding the perfect gift around the holidays can be tough, which is why I love making something homemade - it's always thoughtful and appreciated. A couple of years back I made infused alcohols that were a hit, and this year I wanted to try my hand at pickling. I used carrot+ ...read more
Leather Mousepad DIY
I've been using a laptop for years, but recently when my dominant hand started to cramp into a gnarled claw, I knew it was time to embrace a stand alone mouse. The problem, I soon realized, was that there are very few attractive mouse pads out there. I didn't want one with an ...read more
