I had some professional photos taken of our current abode. I’m quite happy with how they turned out. Life is good in Northern California. Impact-Site-Verification: 8e987e99-44c8-4b2f-b90e-98de45817352 Gentlemen’s Headquarters Loving how it turned out! Before we had a big door and a deck The BEFORE

This current master bedroom space is the exact opposite of CALM. Your eye has no idea what to look at and thus your brain is MAXIMALLY CONFUSED! It’s ok, we can fix that, right? We got this! We totally know what to do! Right??! Again, if you aren’t hanging on my every word I really can’t help you. So LISTEN...

So I’m helping my BFF redo her master bedroom and because we are besties it is a bit challenging. We like to talk, laugh, drink, shop, eat, etc… let’s just say we can get sidetracked.

Got a new laptop!!! we are off to the races baby!;)

I am on the hunt for a machine washable area rug runner for my newly renovated open kitchen/living/dining/everything room. The floor guy is coming today to put the final clear coat on the floor which means tomorrow I can bring in the dining room table! You can’t grasp how monumental this is until you understand that...

Yes, my family is spending the summer in Las Vegas.  It’s a long story, but the short version is it’s freakin hot here.  Slightly longer version is that my handsome husband came home one day and said ‘we should buy a condo in Las Vegas’ to which I replied ‘do you have a girlfriend there or something?’  The idea of it...

AHHH Pareeee;) This photo was shot by Peter Medilek.  We recently did a photo shoot of my condo at Veer Towers. I’m attempting to figure out how to blog from my phone, it might be a bumpy ride;)
