Attack of the Dining Room

Room painted... check.
Now for the fun part... making it "us".

This is the dining area BEFORE.
The appraiser took this picture (he was really tall).
It's clean but drab.

Here are some additions to the room on their way to their new home.

A little flare to the wall creates a cool focal point.
Ben likes the turquoise but I'm thinking a more subtle white.
The walls are gray so either will look fabulous.
Only $40 from byrdiegraphics.

To display our vintage camera collection and other things.
At Pottery Barn for $129.
Be prepared to pay major shipping and tax but I think it's worth it.

I love this sideboard to store my linens & our special wines.
It'll make a perfect buffet for our brunches too.
We'll be picking this bad boy up from Living Spaces this week.
Only $430!

I'll post AFTER pics hopefully by this weekend when it's all finished.

Palm Springs Iconic Home Tour

As some of you may know, this week is Modernism Week in Palm Springs, California and we had the unique opportunity of touring the newly named historic site, the Menrad House, designed by William Krisel. It was the perfect balance of casual flow and minimalist simplicity. All I can say is I wanted to move in right then and there. Loving this retro design and those clerestory windows allowing for all of that natural light without sacrificing ones privacy. That artwork is fantastic and the bedding in that master bedroom...  love . This patio cover is to die for. A genius way to provide a bit of shade without feeling closed in. The design is so simple but the overall effect is absolutely stunning. Apparently, these homes sold so fast that a brochure was never even produced to promote them. I snapped a few shots of the neighboring houses and will share them soon. Next up, a tour of vintage trailers and caravans on Saturday. Can't wait to get inspired for wh

Purple Power Juice

As we wrap up our 3 day juice reboot , I find myself thinking about this fruity concoction we enjoyed on day 2 . A strong, berry burst with a bite of ginger, perfect as a morning pick-me-up. Remember, fruit is best consumed in the morning on an empty stomach because it moves through your digestive system much faster than other foods. 6 cups of concord grapes 1 green apple 1/2 cup of blackberries 2 2"  pieces of ginger (I used 1 1" piece because ginger is super strong) Enjoy! xo Sécia Check out our other juice recipes  here !
