how to choose an exterior paint color
when we bought our house and moved in back in november, one of the first things we did was have a painter come out to give us a quote because i haaaaated the yellow beige color. sadly with el niño coming, he said to wait till the late spring to paint, so we lived with it for months… el niño never came and my hatred for the paint color never left, so here we are!
we spent a good couple of months choosing our paint colors, so i wanted to share some tips we picked up along the way — to hopefully help you avoid spending months picking out your own colors. Read More

joshua tree, california
over memorial day weekend, we rented a little house in the desert next to two other houses that our friends rented out. it was super fun to go away together but still have our own space. i love how quiet it is there, and even though we didn’t do much — we came back super relaxed which is just what we needed.

pottery class
our first semester of pottery ended, and the new session starts back up in a couple of weeks. i decided to keep taking it because it’s been super good for me to get out of the house and do something creative that isn’t blog related. there are no deadlines, no expectations, and i can be as horrible as i want at pottery without judgement. that’s not true, i’m totally judging myself. i’m having trouble with the throwing part, and i’m hoping that the more i do it the better i’ll get… the bowls above are my first finished products, don’t be fooled. i probably got too much help from our teacher but at least i have pretty bowls.
