A felted wool palette for holiday styling
Using a tree skirt that doesn’t look like it’s designed for the room is pretty much the same thing as borrowing your mom’s everyday leather purse to wear to a formal school dance (a stylist cannot unsee such things). The new pink tree needed something extra special; I’m obsessed with the look and feel of this felted wool skirt...how do I use it all year long? It’s too pretty to put away. I’ve also used blankets, vintage fabric and tablecloths in the past to create just the right look. What are some of your favorite tree skirt hacks? Please share below!
Bottle-brush trees and warm ceramic pieces
Gave some of my favorite pieces from @shopjonesandco a holiday update today ... these are available in the shop now and would make amazing gifts ✨ (jug + bowl in caramel shown here)
Vintage signs for color and lettering inspiration
My favorite place for color inspiration and nostalgia; 📸 from many November’s ago ... we tried to get married here but it wasn’t allowed at the time💔...can’t wait to revisit post covid with the Littles. Have you been? Did you love it!?
A tiny kitchen and spiral staircase for a dollhouse
Cabin kitchen reveal! (1:12 cabin that is); another disaster that I had no business buying...it was so dirty and filled with mice poop that I hosed it down in the driveway! Getting this finished took forever but this kitchen is so cute now I wish I had ordered multiples of @macymae_official ‘s sold out kitchen to use in other projects! I built the staircase from 3D printed individual treads and made the sweet little range hood myself. Marlowe styled the island with holiday accessories (so proud!) and the tile is @jessicacloeminis
A shared creative desk inside a closet
Made a little kids “cloffice” last week because why not? They will take anything new they can get these days and love that you can “hide” it by closing the doors. Created with random things around the house, sources tagged. Thanx @g_calvarese for the new terminology 💕💕
A miniature cabin bathroom with handmade details
At least one of my cabins has a renovated bathroom 💕💕💕💕💕bathtub, vanity + toilet are @macymae_official , rug + plant-in-stand @thetinytimberco , “micramé” by @_ramblingmoon and tiny pouf, leather trim mirror + plants by me🌿
Geometric stained glass in vivid colors
Pretty things from past trips still on my current wish list🔹🔺🔸
A modern miniature room behind green glazing
Just a modern holiday scene (in 1:12 scale 😉) thanx to a surprise birthday gift from @coreindustries ❤️❣️sources are tagged; I made the “Moroccan” rug and plant myself🌿
A close study of a pale pink holiday tree
Two weeks until my birthday which means Holiday Decor Install at my house! Sneak Peak of my birthday present from @coreindustries ... true love is buying your wife a blush pink Xmas tree when you personally don’t agree with the entire category of “decoration”💕💕💕💕💕
White paint resets a colorful dollhouse
The power of white paint🤍🤍🤍 this dollhouse was a Craigslist find that I deeply regretted as soon as I got home; I literally had no reason to buy it and the condition was so much worse than I first realized. Yesterday I decided to delay all of my housework and put in some time. She still needs more paint, flooring, wallpaper, a standing seam roof, the third floor reattached, bricks, and support beams but at least I can look at her now without cringing 🤷🏼♀️ excited to design the rooms with my fave sources (all tagged)
Golden brush as a seasonal color reference
Snow is on its way this weekend and we won’t see this again for awhile ... these colors though💛...as usual Mother Nature is the best designer
Floral wallpaper meets a library-lined entry
Thinking this idea needs to be part of my next project 🤔... flashback to location scouting for a @samandlavi shoot and this incredible entryway design by @halfsharkhalfpig
A weathered Route 66 wall as a color study
Thinking about fall road trips ... shot this amazingly perfect chippy wall somewhere in Arizona on Route 66 about this time 8 years ago ... how good is this palette?!
Miniature plants arranged on a pegboard
Stuff I made during Movie Night🌿...finding ways to use sampled faux plants to make minis ... also this little pegboard from @thetinytimberco styled on my life size pegboard from @texwoodbuilds kind of made my day
Correcting the dormer windows of a miniature cabin
Latest small project; a cabin for our cabin ... this one was an inexpensive Facebook find! No permit required to demo the incorrectly assembled dormer windows 🥳🛠
The NoBo solarium in summer light
It’s always summer here ... solarium at the NoBo House 📸 @nataliepigliacampo
Graphic bats and small seasonal styling touches
Getting spooky around here! 💀🎃👻 I’ve never loved the idea of holiday “decor” or “decorating” because it has always seemed a little forced, you have to have room to store it and my husband (correctly🧟♀️) thinks I spend too much money as is! Since having my babies I’ve had a total change of heart because they get really excited about it🧡🖤🧡🖤... so I’ve been finding ways to get into the spirit that reflect my style while bringing joy to the kiddos and causing minimal disdain from @coreindustries 😻
A miniature bedroom with patterned wallpaper and a tent
Sunday morning playtime with my Marlowe ... she actually approved this design!
Hardware storage for a wardrobe and accessories
In my former life as a wardrobe stylist I amassed quite a collection of clothes and accessories (for better or worse, mostly the latter🤦🏼♀️). Even though I parted with more than half of it when I left LA, there’s still so much to keep organized! Hardware stores offer so many options that come in way cheaper than products designed specifically for this purpose; I’m using a toolbox here plus several sets of drawers designed to hold nuts/bolts for jewelry storage.🔩⚙️⛓🛠
