Architectural Digest: Patrick Dempsey

I am loving the casual lived in styling of Patrick Dempsey's family home in Malibu, complete with recycled wood chicken coup. The home is a Frank Gehry architectural gem from the late 1960's. Hidden behind olive trees the unassuming exterior hides a treasure trove. 

When the weather is gross do you ever just feel like staying in with a cup of tea and a book (Netflix)? My weekends are never on the same days so when I get time off I try to do as little as humanly possible.

Getaway : Lake Front

Derrick and I went to on a weekend getaway to lake Michigan a few weeks ago. The scenery was just beautiful and we had a fantastic time relaxing and wandering around the little towns and visiting several of the lighthouses. I thought I would share some of the photos. 

Happy Monday all!

Elements of Style

My inspiration can come from anywhere however now-a-days Pinterest gets a lot of my attention (guilty pleasure). I love the idea of a neutral color pallet with a lot of texture. Fresh flowers never hurt either. 

A Little DIY

We have been wanting a new dining table for quite some time and I am considering this little project. I found it on this fantastic website full of diy's. I think it looks great with the look I have been obsessed with the last few weeks.
