Hello! I’m writing this during a HGTV Fixer Upper and Five Day Flip marathon. Howard is traveling on business and I am in full control of the remote! I like fast forwarding through the home selection process (and commercials) to demolition…and the reveal. That instant gratification!
This is Patty’s home in Newport Beach which I’ve shown before
but we have some new additions like the RH iron side table and lamp.
And some new cube seating.
In Patty’s family room is a PB Comfort Sleeper sofa…which she confirms is actually comfortable…even the pull out bed (and usually you get one or the other).
We are working on finishing her master bedroom…another post.
Here’s Carolyn’s blue and white guest room….
With new brass swing arm lamps to complement the family heirloom bed frame and give more table space.
The Paris painting’s frame used to be dark brown and now it feels fresh. We accessorized with things she already owned but added that little brass tray.
I like my new turquoise Target pencils (the lead is writes well).
Last Thursday, I had a couple girlfriends over for a wine and cheese happy hour. I kind of pulled out everything in the refrigerator and displayed it on our cutting board. There is hummus topped with a layer of tapenade, cream cheese topped with fig jam and Trader Joe’s rosemary marcona almonds…easy. Just about having things in your fridge and pantry.
After a few hours (we were having fun), I thought “I’d better make them a little impromptu dinner!” So, I made this Asparagus, Prosciutto, Fontina Cheese Pizza. I was glad I had the fresh pizza dough on hand.
Annie brought this spring bouquet as a gift. Notice how it’s tied with raffia making it stay together?
One more thing… this book by Kristy from Design Chic made my recent long flight from London to California much more enjoyable! Have you ordered YOUR copy?

Hi Mary Ann, I just found this blog post! What an amazing job you did on this bedroom using what the homeowner already had. I love the navy, pink and white….just beautiful! Are you able to share what the paint colour is, and where you found the throw on the bed? Thanks in advance!
The paint is Benjamin Moore Glass Slipper and I think she got the quilt from Ralph Lauren…but it was a while ago.
