The holiday party scene is in full swing which is something I look forward to every year, particularly hosting. Despite not having a dining room or dining table, we host my family every year for a holiday dinner followed by my favorite Sausalito tradition, the lighted boat parade. I have amassed some favorites for easy […]

I remember the moment I watched Amanda Brooks holiday home tour with Zara Home in 2019. I was on a flight to India for my brothers wedding and instantly wanted to go home and replicate the coziness that emulated from the screen. I must have watched that video and her design notes fifty times dissecting […]
