My honest take on the design - take a first look with me at the investment property we just bought. What I’m keeping (for now) and what I’m upgrading. We bought this place furnished (with all the contents of the home, actually) and I really loved the vintage furniture but it still needs some upgrades! I linked my list of what I’ve got so far.

Hot debate- do you do a real tree or a faux tree? I did a real tree for YEARS but the past 5 years I’m 100% team faux and I’ll tell you why -
🌲 I live in SoCal so our real trees turn into firewood three days after they go up and I’m done worrying about this.
🌲 When you do a faux tree you can put it up and take it down whenever! No short window of when this tree has to come down or go up. More flexibility. One less marital fight as we attempt to tie the tree to the car and get it in the house and in the stand.
🌲Although I have a lot of faux greenery in my house, I usually buy something real too for the smell but it’s usually something smaller, cheaper and easier to transport- like a garland, a wreath, and or a smaller real tree.

Here we gooooo! We closed on another investment property near Joshua Tree at the end of last month. We bought this adorable studio cabin on 5 acres. It was already an Airbnb and so we purchased it with all the contents inside. This helped with upfront costs. I’m adding a few touches and we need to get wifi up and running and then it’s going to be ready to rent!

We gave a generic office cozy living room vibes at the Music Therapy Center of California. An oversize sofa from Pottery Barn (contractor grade) and a large rustic coffee table from West Elm with a washable rug complete the look 👌

My most worn travel shoe! Even if it’s not a beach vacation don’t you always have to take a flip flop or something to shuffle to the hot tub at night? I love my waterproof Birkenstocks from Free People. It doubles as a cute sandal you can actually walk in. I’ve had these for 2 years and they look the same as when I bought them. Here I’m wearing them in Ely Cathedral where I sang 2 summers ago.

Fall uniform with my go to- kut from the kloth denim. Add leopard birks for a little fun and a slouchy sweater when you can’t tell if it’s hot or cold. ✌️

Loving these sneakers- leopard IS a neutral you guys 😆

How do you describe your style? It’s the first question I usually ask clients. Having descriptive words that define the feeling you want when you walk into a space is so important- especially before you start making purchases. Let’s define your style!

Holiday decor doesn’t have to follow the rules or fit into a specific color scheme all of the time- do what fits with your vibe 🌵

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKHalloween

Easy fall centerpiece idea- thrifted candle sticks, some flameless candles, real and faux pumpkins. Cover the whole thing in spider webs this month, then take it off after Halloween.

Time to make it spooky 👀 tagged my simple Halloween decor that is fun that fits in one box in the garage.

Swipe 👉 to see the before of this living room makeover. The gallery wall didn’t change, but we upgraded the couch, rug, coffee table and occasional chair to give it a whole new look!

#LTKHome

A glow up for a guest bathroom ✨
We added marble floor tile, this statement shower tile, and some shelves above the toilet. A new vanity and mirror completed this modern traditional look.

#LTKHome

This is my Day of the Dead inspired mantle. 💀 My top tip for holiday decor is this- don’t let it look like a Spirit Halloween set up shop in your house.
💀Use natural elements and decor you already have to add seasonal touches.
💀Work within your existing style and color palette.
💀Have fun with it but don’t fill your entire garage with holiday decorations or spend too much!

Do not, I repeat DO NOT put a swing set or play set in your backyard. It’s an established fact that whatever you have at your house your kids will not want to play with. A better option- hang this swing from a porch or tree for less than $50 on Amazon. Buy 2! My tweens still use it.

Boots Round Up! Linking my favorite boots that I wear on repeat 👢

Swipe through to see the before 👉
We turned an unused side yard into the outdoor shower of our dreams. It really opened up the space and added tons of natural light.

I had broken up with jeans the past couple of years. I’m 45 years old and I do have a mom pooch some days and I struggled to find denim that I felt was flattering and comfortable with the current trends. I bought these boot cut jeans at Nordstrom Rack recently and they have the perfect stretch 👌 I paired it with adidas sneakers and my favorite Quince crossbody ✌️

#LTKOver40 #LTKStyleTip #LTKFallSale

Mom uniform. Do you like denim
on denim? Makes me feel like a cowboy sometimes 😆 (not a bad thing necessarily) but to break it up I’ll wear two different washes for the top and bottom. My whole aesthetic is about trying to be cute without being too high maintenance or uncomfortable- not always an easy task! Happy Friday everyone. ✌️
