our housewarming party
yay! so excited to share the photos from our housewarming party with you guys! it was a very long time in the making, we didn’t want to have the majority of our friends over until we had a backyard to host them in — so once the backyard was finally ready, we did it. and we went a little nuts with making it special, so much so that we won’t be hosting any parties anytime soon ever again. ever.

looking back — august
and just like that it’s september! while i’m very into long days to get the most out of our backyard, i’m really looking forward to the weather cooling down (here’s hoping). i saw a photo of myself wearing a sweater the other day and i couldn’t even remember what that was like.

DIY patterned vase
for some reason, among all of the serving trays and candles and ceramic pitchers i own — i don’t own almost any simple glass vases. so when i recently realized that i bought one on amazon, and it was so cheap that i decided to buy a second one to make one cool.
so i came up with a super simple technique to make it patterned, by just using tape and frosted glass spray — which i was surprised to like so much. i also considered using white spray paint, but i thought this way would be a little more understated.

how to make your own city guide
you guys know i love to create travel guides, i find it super satisfying to explore new places and try to hunt down the cutest shops and restaurants while on vacation. gid’s not as into that challenge as i am, but he’s very patient.
you may also know i’m equally passionate about my own city, so i came up with a super fun idea to make a print version of my LA guide for out of town visitors. it’s a perfect little gift for special visitors, or perfect nightstand reading material for your own guest room (or even your airbnb).

an indoor picnic dinner party
there’s something so casual, cozy and romantic about sitting on the floor to eat — i’ve always loved sitting around the coffee table for a meal. maybe because we did it as kids and we got to watch tv while we ate chinese food, so it was awesome.
anyway — i thought it would be a fun idea for a themed dinner party to take that up a notch, and make it feel like a picnic. Read More
