OUR HOME // LIVING ROOM + DINING ROOM

IT’S FINALLY HERE!! I have been waiting to share our dining room and living room design with you for so long and excited to finally show you the big reveal. My talented friend Anne helped to bring our vision to life. Anne and I collaborated on my master bedroom redesign and after the success of that project, we wanted to move through the house and start working through the space. Our living room and dining room are both one open space and with our old furniture, felt a bit cramped. We just didn’t have the right elements to create the perfect open feel. One of my biggest priorities for the space was to not lose any storage that we currently had. Of course we were replacing all cabinets in both the dining room and living room but my biggest concern was making sure we streamlined the space without losing that precious concealed storage. Room and Board ended up being the perfect solution for our storage needs. We chose the Hudson Custom Cabinet system so that we could build out ex

Soda taxes go flat in California, possibly Washington

With apologies to Charles Dickens, it is the best and worst of times for soda taxes. News out of Washington State today is that Seattle's sweetened beverage tax raised about $1 million more than predicted in its first three months. Seattle's tax — similar to others across the United States that tax a variety of sugary beverages but are popularly called soda taxes — took effect on Jan. 1, 2018 .

Family Beach Portraits for the Holidays

This past month my parents came out to visit us for about 10 days. They live on the East Coast so it’s always VERY special to have them spend time with us, my sister’s family, and most importantly all the little grandkids. I mentioned to my Dad that I would love to organize some family photos when they were in town since it’s not often we are all together and he instantly said he was excited. My dear friend Felicia who shoots all of our special family moments came to meet us in Laguna Beach at sunset. It’s great because my sister, husband, and their 2 kids know Felicia as well so there is a nice comfort level there. I joked with my Sister before the shoot that I had to plan all the kids outfits because her kids are older and independent and love to dress themselves. I figured if it was left up to them, they might show up in a Spiderman hoodie which is normally adorable but I wanted to try to curate the photos a bit so thankfully she indulged me and let me dress them.
