Dear London, I love you. I love you like I used to love New York in my twenties. In an exhausting, visceral kind of way. The fact that this city is now a train ride away will never get old. The same way being 30 minutes from wine country never got old in California. Note to self: you have lived is some f*cking amazing places, be grateful. Highlights from my design adventure / inspiration hunt are saved in my profile. #DesignandTravel #londondesignfestival
Currently #London bound for 30 hours to check out Focus/18 and 100% Design. Travel + Design = my happy place. Sometimes to need to refill the inspiration bank. Sometimes you need to wander city streets alone to recharge your battery. Sometimes you need time away from your adorable tiny monsters. And that’s okay. Whatever it is you need, I grant you permission to treat yourself to that the weekend. You’re welcome.
Get ready to see a lot of this place. Seriously excited to make this our own... for at least a year. More photos in my story 😬#athomeinHarrogate #victorianhouse #whitepaintplease
Driving through Harrogate the other day and spotted a little white store front to rent. Tiny space but enough for a desk with a nice big wall behind it to wall paper, room for a vignette in the window... still think about it.... 💭... just thinking..... #agirlcandream #designstudio #Harrogate
Wild Willa of Yorkshire. I think the all this soft light and green grass suits us - not to say the blue skies and bright sun of California didn’t, but sometime a change feels good. #wanderlust #countrygirl #thenorth
Satttuurrdddaayy! Survived a week of shuttling 30 mins each way to school via some seriously skinny roads. Heading out to Fountains Abbey with the fam bam for some good old Yorkshire fun. What are you all doing today?? • Photo from my home office/guestroom project. When form and function need to play nice. #makefutonscoolagain • Shop it: http://liketk.it/2xlMj #liketkit @liketoknow.it
One full week of being in the UK and I kind of feel like we live here.... oh. wait. WE DO! Louie’s settled in at his new school and actually loves it (uniform and all). I’ve more or less mastered driving on the wrong side of the road while sitting in the wrong side of the car (still not thrilled about the tiny country roads - terrifying). I’ve got a UK phone number that I don’t think I’ll ever remember but still... progress. I’ve got several vintage sources pinned down as well as an upholsterer. Booked my trip down to London for design week next weekend. Now just to get moved into the new gaff... and furnish it 🙌🏻🇬🇧
Dear England, please except my light bright Californian aesthetic. I mean I love jewel tones and velvet but it’s not really what I do! Curious to see how much my style adjusts to the local tastes... and if I can find clients who are picking up what I’m putting down 😬 🙏🏼 It’s only been 2 days but I’m itching to find some local design work - ANY TAKERS?! • • On another note - we took a drive over to Harrogate today (staying with my lovely mother in law in Leeds until our place is ready on the 24th) and I got a little giddy about living there! I just love that town so much. I know it’s less exciting for my husband who grew up here (actually a little worried he may sneak back to California in the middle of the night) but for me - never having lived outside of the U.S. - I am just eating up the green rolling hills and the stone houses and Victorian architecture and all the damn sheep! 😂 Honestly, I know the gray weather will bother me eventually, but at the moment even the rain is charming. Added a U.K. story to my highlights so keep up with me there 😘
Today is our last full day here in California before we move to the UK and what am I doing? LAUNDRY!! Duh. And packing. I mean that’s reality, right? Also just dreaming up ideas for the kid’s new bedrooms and just so happy that they (and all of us) will get our own spaces again soon(ish).
