Home Tour

In the months leading up to my husband and I purchasing our second home we would do "drive by's" (in the non-hostile sense of course!) of our dream house countless times in a given week.  Each time we drove by (at 10 mph) my face would be pressed up against the car window as I dreamed of one day living there and thinking about how I would make it our own.  I was literally stalking this house...if stalking a house was possible.  On Father's Day of 2008 it was official, we moved into my little cupcake of a house.  


our home 2008... aka Cupcake
I instantly fell in love with its charm - I'd never seen a house quite like it.  I love how the architecture is a cross between traditional east coast colonial and west coast craftsman.  Very fitting for a gal who grew up in Boston and currently lives in Southern California. I'm constantly updating this page as each room is transformed little by little.  Keep in mind… no room is ever "done".

  6. Beautiful home! I love the little hits of colour (and chevron) throughout the house. Fabulous bathroom makeover, and the monograms in the boys' room are adorable! Thanks for sharing it, fun tour!!

  8. Can you tell me if the mailbox color you ordered was antique bronze? It looks black in the photo of your entry way. Beautiful pic!

    1. Hi! Yes it is the antique bronze - it's definitely more black than bronze in person.
