When we were looking at houses there were certain things on my must list and a white kitchen was one of them. I was looking for a finished one right off the bat, but Jeff was hoping to find one we’d be able to customize just the way we liked. Guess who won that battle? Ha! In the long run I’m so glad we got to pick and choose exactly what we wanted.

We did a lot;  changed floors, backsplash, cabinet and wall color, light fixtures and hardware. We also added a wine fridge, thanks to our parents. But decided to leave the counter tops and island color and are loving how it gives it a fun pop. I’m so happy we went with house we did and now, after six months, I’m excited to share some before and after photos of our now white kitchen. continue reading

Happy Friday! Was it just me, or was this week extra long? I’m kicking off the weekend with a little home post. Our house is still being renovated so I thought I’d share one of my current inspiration boards for our kitchen nook.

We already have the table and two of these chairs, but need some finishing touches to spruce it up. The light fixture that was there when we bought the house was dated and not our taste, so I’ve been searching for a new one. I have my eyes on a few right now.. this copper pendant is so pretty and I love how it looks with this rug. But I’m also loving this one. What do you think?! continue reading

Ever since my wedding in June I’ve had a hard time getting back on the fitness wagon. In the months leading up to it I ate super healthy and tried to work out a bit. With the holidays approaching I’m trying to get back into a healthier lifestyle and the first step is cute work out clothes!

I was recently introduced to a new active wear line called Twenty 4 Seven. What I love about them is their stuff is really easy to transition from a work out to real life. The pants are not only super comfortable but they’re really flattering, especially when you throw on a pair of heels. continue reading

I’m so glad winter in Southern California decided to show up right when we’re all ready for spring. We do welcome the rain, though. I celebrated by bringing out an all white outfit. Is that weird? I love white and a little rain isn’t gonna stop me. I wear white jeans all year round – this pair has always been my favorite. They’re fitted but not too tight which is what I look for in a white denim fit.

I’m slowly starting to come up for air and recover from Award Season. The Oscars were killer. It’s always so exciting to be in the middle of all the action but it’s SUCH a relief when it’s over. Now I can focus on finishing wedding planning! continue reading

Over the last year I’ve become completely infatuated with all things copper. This is obviously carried over from my love of rose gold jewelry. However, my home has turned into a copper cave, (evidence below) but I’m not complaining. Recently I went a little crazy in the Threshold section of Target and snapped up all the copper bar ware I could carry.

These puppies are finally online and are too good to pass up (cocktail shaker, pitcher, ice bucket and tongs, serving tray).Use the code HOME10 until 11/8 for 10% off purchases of $50 or more. continue reading
