Grown Up Gift Guide

December 4, 2012

Can I share a secret? My apartment still doesn’t make me feel like a grown-up. I’m stuck in the post-college phase of home decorating – including a half broken IKEA couch and an assortment of dishes from four different thrift stores. I know I am not the only one out there coveting a more “grown up” home, so I thought I’d put together a gift guide for anyone looking to make their home look a little more put-together.

1. Cushy hand-knit throw blanket (DIY!) from Purl Bee
2. Custom Terrarium from Chaparral Studio
3. Wooden spoons from Schoolhouse Electric
4. Throw pillow from Cotton & Flax
5. Chemex coffee maker from Schoolhouse Electric

Cotton & Flax… in the Desert

October 15, 2012

I’ll be traveling through the Southwest a few times this holiday season, and I’m excited to be visiting desert climates. I’ll be visiting my boyfriend’s family in Arizona, participating in the awesome Feliz Holiday Sale in Austin (which I know, isn’t technically the desert…), and finally taking a small vacation in Palm Springs. Los Angeles sometimes has a desert vibe (no rain for months on end, anyone?), but traveling through a true desert is eye opening.

I created a small wishlist of things I would love to redecorate my living room with, inspired by the colors and textures of desert living.

1. Prickly Pear print from Becca Stadtlander 2. Concrete Planter from Nobuhiro Sato 3. Eames Rocker from Art of Vintage on 1stDibs 4. Bright Poppy Plus Pillow from Cotton & Flax
