interiors : jessica de ruiter's california home

this home tour, that i originally spotted on c home, is what my modern house dreams are made of. this gem is the mid-century silver lake home of jessica de ruiter, a fashion stylist, and her husband, jed lind, who worked on the design and maintained the home's original architecture. lind works for one of my favorite firms to follow, commune design. i love the warm wood tones mixed with the eclectic textiles and minimal aesthetic. that front door...

interiors : jenni kayne's contemporary california home

when i came across fashion designer jenni kayne's beverly hills home tour on architectural digest, i knew immediately it would go in the 'dream home' file. the modern clean lines, the soaring wood ceilings, the custom millwork, and the steel frame windows won me over. i will be referencing this one as we design our new home. hope you enjoy!

our new family member

if you follow me on instagram, you have probably seen that we adopted a new puppy this month, baxter. this and a few other things could help to explain the silence here on the blog in may and june. baxter is a four month old lab hound mix with a sweet temperament who stole our hearts. sampson, our other baby, is still warming up to him, as he has been an only child for four years, but i think in time they will be best friends. aren't his little spots the cutest? we are so happy to have him as part of our family now! do you have any tips for handling and introducing two dogs? it has been a really difficult two weeks with getting some bad news, but puppy cuddles are helping me get through.

lately, i am reading this book for book club. have you read it?

[natalie came to visit this month! it has rained everyday in tennessee, but we trying to spend every dry minute here.]

[at the end of may, we celebrated my husband joshua's 29th birthday at gray's in franklin.]

{i took a modern calligraphy course with my best friend at the skillery nashville.]

[we have been enjoying summer in nashville's 12th south and made a stop at the biscuit love food truck.]

[we went to the outdoor movie night at the belcourt theater to watch 'singing in the rain']

[and of course we celebrated our wonderful father on father's day, here is us in 1989.]

much love to everyone this weekend.

dream state

we have had a beautiful week in tennessee. walking around the yard today was reminiscent of a dream, the sunshine filtering through the trees, the lush green grass, and the perfect blue sky. the images that came to mind immediately were from sofia coppola's virgin suicides. have you seen it? the film is full of scenes with dappled sunshine and suburbia landscapes. i can even hear air's playground loveplaying in my head. or maybe arcade fire's the suburbs.i love taking pictures and keeping a record of this beautiful time of year, much more to come this week. how was your saturday?
