As I’m sure I’ve mentioned 1million times, but just as a quick refresher, this house was second to last on our list of about 18 houses we wanted to look at up here in Lake Arrowhead when we were on a serious hunt for real estate. I was 100% reading a book by its cover …
Perfectly Leafy Indoor Trees | Varieties & Styles | Decor
I recently {and finally} moved a few items around in our living room/great room and have an open corner that is just screaming for a bright green, large leafed and substantial indoor tree. Back in LA, I’d always opt for large palms or Banana Leaf trees for indoors, but I’m not exactly sure a palm …

Lake House Decor // Home Office Progression… Incomplete
Let me first begin by saying that if you take a look at my Office, Closet, Dressing Room Pinterest Board, you can get a feel for my overall inspiration on this room, which is the most feminine room in the entire house. Please note that this is the only room that looks like this and …
Lake House | Home Office "Before" Photos…
I shot a few photos the other day of my office decor progress and was editing them to share with you when I realized I never posted any “before” shots. So I went through my archives and found a few photos I took before we moved in, some while we were on a quick overnight …
Lake House Update | Beachy Guest Room BEFORE and Choosing Paint Colors with Sherwin Williams…
Looks oddly similar to our old master bedroom, no? 😉I tend to be one of those people who doesn’t paint every room in her house a different color. I like neutrals, I like consistency, and I don’t like walking into a room of a house that doesn’t look like it fits with the rest of …
Lake House Update: Exterior | Before & After
When we were looking at houses to buy up here in Lake Arrowhead, the house we actually bought was very low on my list of homes to see due to the exterior photos in the real estate listing. I didn’t like it at all, and in fact, almost skipped it entirely. But as soon as …

Lake House Update: New Exterior Doors… Living Room.
Our house is situated on two lanes… with exterior doors on both… and therefore it isn’t quite sure which to call the front door and which to call the back. It doesn’t really matter because we don’t have a postal delivery service here, but go and pick up our mail and packages in the Village …

Fun DIY Idea: Strung Moss Balls Garland
I’m not exactly sure what I’d use these for or where I’d hang them, but I love them. They’re probably best utilized at events but they’d be cute strung around a patio or deck or even together with little white lights or maybe hanging from a brown wood fence, or like beaded curteins to create …
Bringing the Outdoors In // Decorating with Branches
Lake House Pinterest Board via French GreyI have been known to, on more than one occasion, spy an amazingly large fallen tree branch while outside, decide it’s perfection, drag it home, wash it, and use it as decor in my own house. Note the word “fallen”, as I would never cut a tree and steal …
Feather Wall Art DIY African Juju Hat Tutorial
A few weeks ago, after what seemed like a never-ending decor battle with my console table design layout {I know, so dramatic}, I decided that the wall above it, which is part of it, needed something that was pretty enough to draw attention but not so much as to distract the eye. It seemed like …
