New blog post up this morning on making these pretty pumpkins. My pumpkin was a kit from @petitepetalco, but I did a few others too and I show you how you can get this look if you can’t buy a kit on the blog. More details in stories. My post has some fun for your Sunday and a few other happy things. Link in bio! Have a beautiful Sunday friends. 💚

After massive deliberation and waffling, I have my gallery wall up! I moved my @serenaandlily chairs to this open space that shows them off a bit more and makes an area to plop down and chill on the phone or whatever. I’m pretty happy with the wall collage, but really wasn’t sure how it was going to play out on this very long wall. We could’ve scrunched all the items together, but it seemed to look better when we spread them out kind of organically. It’s a mix of family pics, baskets I have collected, and pictures we like. The unifying element are the tan, black and white tones. In the first picture is of my husband as a young teen taken by his mom Fay for a photography class, signed by her. I’ve always loved it. The other photos are a black and white at the beach I took of my husband and other photos I liked of my son‘s faces that I changed to black and white and then cropped so there’s just half of them to be ‘arty’. Another is a photo of them on vacation in Antibes looking peeved, but I thought it looked kind of album coverish. Lol. We also have a print of the Golden Gate Bridge and SF and a drawing I love of an old building that looks like Paris to me. I might change it up, but after a few hours with Max and his level, I think it is good for now. Has anyone else dealt with a long wall like this? Hard to know what looks best. It only took me a year to decide here. 😆 Hey we’re almost to Friday!

Four little ballots hoping to make a difference and bring back a kinder, more loving, and more unified country. Just dropped them in the box this morning. ❤️ I am excited to have my sons very involved and interested in this election!

I’m so excited to be actually wearing a sweater- okay still have sandals, but they’re my fall Birks. It’s a pretty autumn day here in California. 🍂 Today I’m taking some time to read a new book on my favorite chair. Hope you’re having a happy Saturday whatever you’re up to! 💛

Did you get to check out all the pretty ideas on our fall tablescape link up yesterday? 🍂 I got a lot of other ideas from everyone’s posts... and got acquainted with some new blogs! ( Link in my bio.) I love my table decor and I think I’m going to leave it up for a while. Saturday we may do a special homemade pizza night and work on our ballots with the kids here. Happy Weekend! Don’t forget to vote it’s so important to get our ballots out now as soon as possible!! 💛 ... Sorry for previous grammatical errors.I should never post when in a rush. 🤯

Fall is in the air today here! I’m wearing jeans and a sweater-and making soup tonight.. I put my pumpkins out and my duvet in the bed. I clipped a few olive branches from my new trees here. I love foraging in the yard for pretty things. I’m ready for the change. 🍂Hope the cool weather lasts. Are you all feeling the same? Happy Wednesday!

Redoing my kitchen shelves today. Funny how just adding a little blue makes everything much cheerier. 💙 We found a water leak last night, luckily just the irrigation and not under the house. (Yes we had the gas leak last week, all good. 😳) I had to move stuff so we could check the crawl space, and that set me off on a fall purging and cleaning binge.. I just haven’t been motivated lately. It got me off the computer ( oh the news 🤯) let’s see how long I can do this. The air is bad again sadly, still fires in the wine country sadly, so we cannot really go outside much. Hope you all have a good weekend and a happy Friday.

Californians at Home is on the blog today and I am thrilled to interview designer @cindyhattersley.. We chat about her stunning home that she has owned for 30 years in the tiny town of Chualar, her decorating style and how she entertains so effortlessly. Lots of photos of Cindy’s gorgeous Monterey Spanish Colonial home too. She also has great personal style and just wrote about developing that too on her fantastic blog. Pop on by.. link in my bio!

My husband got me this t-shirt from @anthropologie a few weeks ago and it seemed like today was the day to wear it after last night. What a sad state of affairs. I worked all day on a blog post for Californians at Home coming tomorrow morning. Just wait until you see who I interview! A few more thoughts on the debate on my stories. 😌💕

Happy Son’s Day to my Griffin and Jackson. It’s been interesting raising boys! I love them so much. I could not be prouder and I feel lucky to have two guys who are very kind people. It’s going to be fun to see where their journeys will lead them in life! ❤️❤️
