I have been living that apartment life for the last four years since moving to Los Angeles and, suffice it to say, I am ready to have outdoor space again! While our dogs will have the run of the majority of our new yard, I am still trying to carve out some human/adult areas for me and my husband to enjoy as well. My outdoor living wishlist is full of fun items to help me achieve that goal and will give you a little glimpse into what our new back yard has in store!
A Scandinavian Inspired Venice Home Tour
I am just going to put this out there – whenever I share an interior tour by somebody as talented as Amber Lewis of Amber Interior Design, I feel a bit like I am cheating. Why, you ask? It’s quite simple, really. Everything Amber touches turns out flawlessly and exactly in line with my personal aesthetic and home style. Using one of her incredible designs just feels so…easy. Shouldn’t I have to work harder to come across a gorgeous home to share with you? Regardless of whether I perhaps should, I simply could not help myself when it came to this stunning Scandinavian inspired Venice home tour.
Amber was involved in the construction of this beautiful Venice, California home from the ground up, investing both time and energy into this project for the last three years. This home was nothing short of a labor of love for the home owners, contractor Potter Mallis (who deserve a place in the Design Hall of Fame), and Amber herself. Their care and attention to detail paid off an shines loud and clear in this stunning Scandinavian inspired Venice home tour.

I am not sure if it is just that Southern California still reeling from a rough flu season or whether everyone around me is truly still getting sick. Whatever the case may be, I want NO part of it. That is where this delicious Immune Boosting Smoothie comes in. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy 5 minute breakfast idea or a way to fight off the common cold, this smoothie is for you. Nutritious, filling, and refreshing, this green goddess smoothie comes with a kick!
We Bought A House!
As you are reading this, I am waking up for the very first time in Kansas City, Missouri, my new home as of June 1. I hinted at it in the past but I can now officially share that over the course of the last three months, my husband and I have been quietly working away to make our biggest collaboration yet a reality. We bought a house in Kansas City! If this comes as a surprise to you, you are not alone. It comes as a huge surprise to the two of us as well! It is a gigantic move and leap of faith but we are both more than ready to start this exciting new chapter.
