Guest post!

I've been working on a pretty fun guest post and thought I'd give ya a little sneak peak! The lovely Sarah asked me to do a guest post while she works on movin to dowtown Phoenix. I was so stoked cause a) guest posts are so fun! and b) we can have coffee dates! Haha.

Anyways, she's had some pretty awesome posts lately all about home decor. Do yourself a favor and go check it out. Here's a sneak peek of my post I'm preparing and a little tour of my house. Check for my guest post next week.

Six Things Phoenix Might Probably Need I think

Phoenix has really come quite a long way and it's getting cooler and cooler each day. I mean, I'm totally stoken on Filmbar, we've got the awesome market, lots of good coffee shops, the lightrail zippin through, and food trucks running rampant. Here's some other stuff I think we might probably need.

A super cute flower shop.

Flower Girl, NYC.
To turn the old buildings into hip, multiuse living spaces and storefronts, restoring the original architecture. (ie: not tearing em down to start from scratch and not letting aASU snatch em up to build parking structures on. And P.S. we don’t need any more new, stucco, blah places k? Why build from scratch when we've got architectural gems standing empty?)

Luhrs Building, Downtown Phx.

An awesome bakery or two.

Babycakes, NYC.
More vegan restaurants and options (maybe a vegan ice cream shop or something rad like that, eh?).

Yes, this Cheesy Mac and Rib sandwich is vegan. Mmmm.

KindKreme, LA.

Greenspace.

Unpack a park. Whaa? RAD.

Some cool boutique hotels.

Hotel San Jose, Austin, TX.

This all reminds me of the old argument- which came first- the rad downtown? or the rad folks inhabiting it? Do you invest time and money into it hoping the right folks will stumble upon it or do you get the right people's interest before you invest?

What are some things you LOVE about your home town? What are some things you'd like to see different?

Crafting a Meaningful Home

I found this video the other day and just thought it was so lovely.



It's from Meg Mateo Ilasco and showcases her new book Crafting a Meaningful Home: 27 DIY Projects to Tell Stories, Hold Memories, and Celebrate Family Heritage. She's the author of Craft, Inc and the Craft, Inc Business Planner, which are both super helpful and awesome. I want it.

Sweaters- Word on the streets is that it's supposed to cool down in the next few days. Fingers crossed!

Happy Saturday!

Though I've been in my little casa here for over a month, I've still had unpacked boxes cluttering the living room. I hate when my house is a mess- who wants to come home to a disaster after a long day of work?

Luckily, today I got a ton done. Cleaning- check! Organizing- check! I even had time to do a little thrifting. I feel so accomplished  : ) What did you do today?
