The Cabin Guest Bath: Inspiration & Plans
I can’t believe it’s been a year since we closed escrow on our cute little cottage in the forest and we’re finally getting some down time to be able to start the renovations. Our plan was always to live with her for a bit so we could figure out what we wanted to do, but…
The Cabins In Lake Arrowhead That We Didn’t Buy (But Wanted To)
In our two year search for the perfect cabin, I’m pretty sure that we looked at well over 2,000 online (and I’m not even exaggerating). I was on Zillow every day, refreshing the listings multiple times a day. I have seen every house in the Lake Arrowhead area that has come on the market in…
The Cabin Chronicles: We Bought a Cabin In Lake Arrowhead
We did it! We’re homeowners! After an exhaustive two year search, we finally found a cabin that we loved (and where our offer was accepted). If you’ve been following along on Instagram, then you already know all about our search and heartbreak in trying to find the perfect place. But we found her. She’s 90-years…
Move-In Gifts for Alta Ink, a Luxury Lease-Up in Hollywood
It’s move-in day. Your truck is pulling up to the building filled with boxes, you’ve signed the lease, and now you’re ready to pick up the keys. As a new resident, I can imagine that there’s nothing more exciting than moving into your brand new apartment in Hollywood. That is until the leasing specialist unexpectedly…
Suite Soirees: A Valentine’s Day Picnic Complete with an Epic Heartcuterie Board
In quarantine, home really is where the heart is. Spending so much time indoors this year and still wanting to be safe during the pandemic, I decided to move things outside and set up a heart-themed picnic for my SuiteHearts (aka my pre-fiancé, Brian and bestie, Dan). I first set the scene with a plush…
If You’ve Got It, Haunt It: How We Decorated the Building for Halloween This Year
We’re just here for the boos! My pre-fiance, Brian, loves Halloween. No, like loves Halloween. So when he asked a few years ago if he could decorate the building, it started off innocent enough with a few tombstones. Then came the handmade coffin, then a smoke machine, then a spider the size of a small…
The One Place We Always Stop When Visiting Beaver, UT
This is a one stop light town. There’s one supermarket, one bar, and one coffee shop. There’s also only one place we HAVE to stop every time we visit: The Creamery, a huge, glorious church of cheese and dairy. Opened in 2018 and easily visible from the 15 freeway, the building is new to this…
Suite Eats: A Green Snack Board for St. Patrick’s Day
I love a good cheeseboard. Any time that I have friends over or entertain, I always like to offer a pretty cheese board or charcuterie plate since it’s easy (and delicious) snacking. I also love any excuse to get creative and color coordinate. So with St. Patrick’s Day coming up, I wanted to do a…
Front Yard Makeover: The Plan
Ever since I took over management of the building 10 years ago, re-doing the front yard has always been at the top of my wish list of projects to complete. But along the way, other projects took priority like exterior painting, landscaping, and apartment updates. Somehow this project always seemed to get pushed off of…
Suite Spaces: Our Client’s 1928 Town Home Gets a Close Up on Architectural Digest
One of my favorite quotes about interior design is by Nate Berkus when he said, “Your home should tell the story of who you are, and be a collection of what you love brought together under one roof.” And it never ceases to amaze me how a little style and panache can completely transform an…
That’s So Suite: Custom Bridesmaid and Groomsmen Gifts for an OC Wedding
When we were approached by stylish bride, Lauren Firner, to curate custom gifts for her Orange County wedding party, we obviously jumped at the chance! We knew the gifts had to be as fun and contemporary as her personality and Lauren gave us some great direction on what she envisioned for her bridesmaids and what…
Suite Spaces: Making Over our Bedroom at the Family Cabin in Utah
Over the river and through the woods to…Brian’s family cabin. We both love spending time outdoors and we’re really fortunate that his family has a cabin in southern Utah that we absolutely love to visit a couple times a year. The family goes skiing in the winter (I’m more of a lodge bunny) and ATVing…
