Sauce Packs: Joshua Tree Travel Guide

June 4, 2018

Better late than never, here is a photo diary of the trip that Jeff and I took to Joshua Tree in December 2017. This was such a special trip and it came after a wonderful few days in LA (read my LA guides here and here). Just when I thought the trip couldn't get any better, we drove the desert and were greeted with views like this:

Sauce Packs: Los Angeles Part 2

February 25, 2018

Welcome to Part 2 of my recap of our December 2017 LA trip (you can read Part 1 here). On the third and third day of the trip we got to see an amazing flea market, hike, and check out West Hollywood. These posts are a little late...but hopefully better late than never. There is also a full list of my LA recommendations at the end of this post!

Sauce Packs: Los Angeles Part 1

February 24, 2018

For my birthday this year my boyfriend, Jeff, booked us a trip to California.  Jeff is so supportive of my interest in design and even planned an entire trip around it, which is up there for the nicest thing that anyone has ever done for me.

Sauce Packs: Bodega Bay, California Travel Guide

October 2, 2017

In September 2017, some dear friends of mine from college got married in California. One of the things that I like about destination weddings is that sometimes you end up going to a place you love and never would have gone on your own. Bodega Bay was that for me and more. Being an east coast girl, I am usually in awe of some of the landscapes in California, but Bodega Bay took my breath away.

LIVE on the blog is a full studio tour and interview with July of @julyinbrooklyn.
.
July was kind enough to let me photograph her making a piece in our collection of 10 pieces that is launching in March 2019.
.
Head to the blog (link in profile and my stories) to see all of the photos from part one of this post series and let me know what you think!
.
I love July’s work so much that I bought this pitcher from her as well and loooooove it. Swipe to see a close-up of this piece and let me know if you read the post with all of the studio photos!

Slow progress in this room, but I do love my little plant gang.
.
Also, I was finally able to display my custom sign of the Room Sauce logo made for me by Christina of @southernmesatrading! It has a prime spot between two of my favorite plants with nice light from the windows.
.
Christina is one of those people I know that I can bounce ideas off of any time of the day and her energy and creativity inspire me so much. I love having my friends’ work in my home!

I met July of @julyinbrooklyn on Instagram. A few months ago I decided to pursue a ceramics collaboration to do a limited edition collection of 10 pieces for Room Sauce. I put a call out in my stories and while I got a lot of responses, I knew immediately that July’s work would be the perfect fit.
.
Fast forward and the launch of our collab is only a few weeks away! I went to July’s studio yesterday and had the best time documenting the process of making a piece in the collection.
.
I feel so fortunate to have been able to connect with an amazing artist like July and I realized that we have a lot in common. By day we both make a living in the legal field, but on late nights and weekends we put a lot of energy into creative pursuits. I love meeting other people that pursue creativity no matter what.
.
I hope that through Room Sauce I will be able to highlight other creative people, entrepreneurs, and small businesses through a new blog series called Sauce Makers.
.
July’s article, which will be the first in the Sauce Makers series, with all of the photos and an interview will go live on Thursday, so stayed tuned for that!

Today was a great day. You may know that @julyinbrooklyn and I are working on a ceramics collaboration that’s launching next month. July is making a limited edition run of 10 ceramics for me that will never be made again and I will be doing giveaways and other fun things to celebrate the launch.
.
The pieces are a secret for now, but I can’t wait to show you want they look like!!
.
This morning I did a studio visit and got to see July in action. To see July’s process and talent in person was incredible and she was gracious enough to let me document her work today.
.
Head to my stories to see a full tour of the studio where July does her work @artshackbrooklyn and a sneak peek of shots from our shoot. Here is one of my favorite shots of the studio!

My top 10 staging tips are LIVE on the blog!
.
Head to my stories to hear more of my thoughts on staging and for a link to the post (it’s also in my profile). I know it can feel overwhelming, but I hope they these tips help.
.
My tip for kitchens is to keep things as minimal as possible. Clear everything off of the counters and then add back a few pops of color/decor. Easy!
.
Have you ever staged a home for rent or sale?
.
Ps- this post also has all of the photos I took for the Darien listing!

This. Dining. Room. 😍
.
For those new here, I staged and shot the home of some friends of mine over the weekend and am sharing those images this week. This is definitely one of my favorites. I love how the wood table works with the natural fiber rug and jewel box green walls. And can we talk about that chandelier?!
.
Since I got a ton of questions over the weekend when I shared a sneak peek, I am linking to all of the items in this photos in my stories tonight. I am also sharing the rental listing in my stories, which is live!

A close second to my love of design is photography. Over the next few days I’m going to share photos that I took of my friends’ house over the weekend.
.
I staged and photographed their beautiful home for rental listing photos (the listing is coming soon!)
.
I am launching a full post of staging tips on Thursday, but here is one for open concept rooms: use rugs to define distinct spaces, but don’t be afraid to show off hardwood floors. Staging for listing photos is different than for lifestyle photography. It’s less about your stuff and more about showing off the space.
.
More photos and tips coming this week!

My sweet Ozzie had a tumor removed today. Hopefully it is benign, but please keep him in your thoughts 🖤
