This week was very relaxing for me, I spent the last few days alone in Florida, visiting the local farmer’s market, cleaning my house, and enjoying some pretty sunsets on the beach. At this stage in my life, on the verge of an empty nest but with pending family obligations back home, I take the time to recharge when it’s available to me. Away from distraction, I always have the most clear reflections and the best ideas for the future come to me on days like these. Next week I’m headed back to California and the everyday family routines. Our…

I was surrounded by blue water and white sand and pretty resorts this week as I played tour guide for some visiting friends. It reminded me how fresh and lovely a classic blue and white palette has always been. I spied a few inspiring bathroom tile installations on Pinterest and Instagram and felt like sharing. I’ve already bookmarked these tile combinations and patterns are bookmarked for future renovations and potential rental properties.

Tomorrow I’m taking the ocean ferry to Key West with some girlfriends, they are very excited since they’ve never been before.

Favorite links from the week: Soft textures and minimalist mid century decor fill this New Jersey home. This outdoor dining space was once a concrete driveway. A few creative installations for…

We’re experiencing lovely weather here on the Gulf Coast of Florida which means we can linger outside in the evenings. Knowing the warmer weather in the coming months will bring gnats and mosquitos with it, I made a citronella candle to sit on my outdoor coffee table to keep annoying bugs away. I spied these budget friendly modern planters online in two sizes and fell in love with their shape. The larger one I used for its intended purpose and added a mini monstera, but I made the smaller one into a citronella candle. Now it sits outside looking oh…

I landed here in Florida on Tuesday and have been enjoying the soft sun and laid back lifestyle of the area, getting a lot of rest and doing some daydreaming. Time alone in solitude recharges and inspires me. Earlier this year I decided to (mostly) give up alcohol, because of how it was making me feel. I was waking up in the middle of the night not feeling good, it was affecting my sleep and giving me brain fog, so it felt like it was time to give it up. Perimenopause was also a contributing factor, so I decided it…

I spent the past few days emptying out my local shop, repurposing the shelving and leftover furniture and distributing the remaining merchandise to a few vendors I know. It was a lot of creative work but a worthwhile experience, I made new business friends and learned so much during the year I had a shop. All three of my children are at our house today having Easter dinner, and my parents and brother and his kids are here too. We’re making a big feast and thankfully enjoying sunny skies. I leave for Florida on Monday and will be there for…
