Moodboard: Bringing Your Dream Garden Indoors

There's something bittersweet about a quiet winter garden. Often overlooked because it isn't flooded with flora or as emerald green as it appears in its summery prime, but equally as beautiful. Perhaps even more so if you take a good look, to sit in its gift of calming, healing silence and crisp winter air, where its dead branches lay covered in condensation or forgotten fruits. It rests, rejuvenates and plants firm roots for upcoming transitions - this is where the subtle ma

Interiors: Ceramics Roundup

If you've been following along with my blog for a while, by now you know how much I love a good sculptural ceramic vessel. They can bring such a grounding, natural feel and texture to any space, and allow a beautiful sense of organic movement to break up an otherwise fairly linear vignette. Often slightly imperfect and never two exactly the same, I have so much fun collecting pieces that are similar but unique, and switching them out to rotate new and old ceramic pieces throu

On The Menu: Lemon Brassica Bucatini

This simple and versatile dish is sure to become one of your new dinner staples. The creamy noodles serve as a delicious vessel to pack in a healthy serving of seasonal vegetables, while the surprise bursts of lemon throughout pack a flavorful brightness and the variety of textures leaves all of the senses satisfied and craving more. Every time I make this dish I am asked to make it again or share the recipe - so don't be surprised if you soon find yourself in the same situa

New Year, New Home

After ten months of the pandemic, we made the choice to move. We had lived in our apartment nine years and it holds so many good memories. We started our family there, celebrated holidays and birthdays. We loved it so much. Recently we’ve felt what I’m sure many others have. We wanted outdoor space for our two kids and a few amenities we’ve lived without – a dishwasher, washer & dryer, and most importantly – heat. Yes, you heard that all correctly. With the max exodus that ha

On the Menu: Dungeness Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

If you're looking for the perfect dish that will feel celebratory, but is deceptively simple and packed with seasonal and comforting flavors - this is it. We're incredibly lucky to have access to some of the freshest and most delicious crab in Northern California this time of year, but its definitely a splurge-ingredient, so this indulgent and delicate yet robust dish will be a great way for your buck to go a bit further. And dare I say the leftover's might even be better the

Holiday Picnic With Jenni Kayne

This is a holiday season the likes of which we have never seen in our lifetimes. Instead of large gatherings of family and friends, we will all be having smaller more intimate celebrations and waiting a little longer to all get together. Being outdoors is ideal and keeping it simple is essential - we all have so many things we are dealing with. I love the outdoors, even if it might be crisp out! I teamed up with Jenni Kayne to create a country celebration at Grace Ranch. The

Gifting Seasonal Sweets

Holiday gatherings and gifting may look a bit different this year, but we've rounded up some of our favorite recipes to bake with lots of love and deliver to those we wish we were celebrating with. While we certainly still love a good holiday cookie boxes, this spiced loaf cake is so packed with delicious flavor that it could stand alone as the show-stopping treat. And as an added bonus, you can gift them a beautiful vintage loaf pan along with the cake. Either way, any of th

Spice Up Your Kitchen

As someone who loves to be in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes and who also appreciates well considered design, there's two challenges in particular that used to always haunt my kitchen. The first was trying to find a way to store all of my various spices and pantry items with a million different colored labels in an organized and accessible fashion. The second was running out of that one spice that seemed to disappear into the abyss of the pantry when you really ne

2020 Holiday Gift Guide

This year as we all hit nine months of our course changed, I’ve pared down our gift guides to smaller but better items to give to your loved ones. I encourage all of us to buy local and visit small shops where you live and some of which are featured here. Their livelihoods depend upon us. This years items are refreshing and will be welcomed to whoever you give them to. We may be unable to be with loved ones this year, but we are all going to get through this. Hope you enjoy t

The Comforts of Home

Fall has definitely set in here in San Francisco. The air is cooler, the leaves are turning and there is a breeze in the air that's making it smell like fall. I'm here for it! With this change in the air it makes me excited for the months ahead. Creating rituals in our homes that will help celebrate the holiday season. Whether that's through cooking, visiting family or spending quality time with your loved ones. This year unlike any other is a little more challenging due to t

Workspace: Oatmeal Shop

When I first saw the work of Elise Birnbaum of OATMEAL - I instantly had a connection to it. The vessels she creates are works of art. The cloud pruned vessel (the one I have in my Dining Room - it gets ask about all the time) is what first drew me into Elise's work and I've been in complete love with the work she's created ever since. Her pieces have texture, movement and the formations the embody are like no other. Her work is something I will cherish forever and I knew tha
