In my last post, I discussed maximizing your space and today I wanted to share some really innovative solutions for that space under your flight of stairs! Why waste this perfectly good spot? Have you considered this commonly overlooked space as… Or a…OR (and I love this one)… Just some fun ideas! More here. Do […]
Maximize your space
Smaller spaces demand organization. Less square footage means multi-functional rooms and typically, minimal storage. What to do? We are so used to our big attics, garages and basements (which typically get jammed full of stuff we don’t actually need) that we often resist giving them up. When we do downsize we have to change the […]

Inspired by Oberlin College
Spent the last week in Ohio at Oberlin College, getting my son all set up and ready for the new school year. I can’t believe how fast summer flew by! I have to share this great shot of Peter with his life all packed up in four…yes FOUR, boxes! How did we go from a […]

Summer Supper Club
This past Thursday we hosted a lovely supper club at my vintage Manzanita beach house… Images via Grace & Ivy I really love these events. There’s nothing like a table full of food, served family style, to inspire a true sense of community. This time around we did a pig roast and celebrated, friend and […]
I SPY: Lavender Bathroom
On a recent family visit to the college town of San Luis Opisbo, we dined at a lovely Italian eatery- Palazzo Giuseppe. Dinner was delicious! Shortly, after we cleaned our plates, I excused myself to investigate the bathrooms. (I just can’t help myself). I pushed through the door and was immediately struck by the soft […]
Urban garden inspiration
I like to garden and get my hands dirty…it can truly be a creative experience – a zen moment. Although I may garden alone, sharing my garden with friends brings me much joy! Many of the people I meet, often feel attached to their large yard and this prevents them from downsizing. They may not […]
