As much as I enjoyed the long weekend, the chaos of the short week almost undid it with three professional photoshoots and countless meetings. Two of the three shoots featured my home (including an upcoming feature for Apartment Therapy!), so I spent the better part of Tuesday afternoon putting finishing details on it, buying everything from flowers to door knobs. I have to say, the best part is how incredibly beautiful it looks now—the little details were enough to make me fall in love with my home all over again. Looking forward to a slow weekend, taking full advantage of our home and the chilly weather L.A.'s been having to stay indoors! I hope you have an equally cozy weekend. x

P.S., I sat down with the L.A.-based founder of one of my favorite candle companies for a feature on the Shop. See the full story here!
