Prepare yourselves, friends. For some serious heart eyes. And perhaps for some serious heart palpitations when you realize that almost everything in the home I’m about to share was handcrafted by one of the owners. The woodwork? His. The lamps? His.

Unlike some previous posts I’ve shared after traveling (such as Asheville and California), this one will be all about the lessons I learned over my recent week of traveling.

I, admittedly, get a little chatty in this post. So rarely do we get to sit down and actually write about traveling. Stick with me. Or, if you choose to just scroll in and take in the pictures, I won’t be mad. But still… you should read it. Okay. Moving on. Day 1 – Venice…

Yesterday I took an amazing architecture tour of Palm Springs, and I suspect I only scratched the surface. If you love architecture and come to Palm Springs, you should most certainly take this 3-hr tour. It also has an accompanying map and app. This post is going to be about architecture. As was my last…
Read MoreI just saw La La Land, and it has me jonesing to get some “new” vintage dresses. So inspired. Apparently, everyone is talking about this. Here and here and here and here and here and here and here. However, I think the big point that most of these articles are missing is that to get…
