Basket Bag

If you’re searching for a stylish and versatile gift for the fashion-forward mom in your life, look no further than the Clare V, Pot De Miel bag. This chic, basket-inspired purse is available in a beautiful cream woven design. It instantly caught my eye, and I justified the purchase because I needed a new bag for my upcoming trip to Italy in May. I think it'll be great to carry the essentials around town! The woven detailing elevates the classic design to new heights, while the cream color adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. Whether Mom is dressing up for a special occasion or just running around town, this bag is the perfect accessory to complete her look.

The Easiest White for Cabinets

Before we sketch a floor plan or source furniture, we sit with the house and let it speak a little.

For the 6th Street Bungalow, this step was especially important. The house has its own personality, and the flatlay helps us study it from every angle.

It lets us play, make changes early, test combinations, and make sure each material has a reason for being there. Nothing is theoretical at this stage.

We want to feel the stone, the fabrics, the wood tones, the finishes, and see how they interact from room to room.

The flatlay becomes our anchor — a visual blueprint that keeps the design cohesive while giving us room to refine as we go. It’s a crucial part of our process and one of the most valuable tools for creating a home that feels intentional, personal, and true to the architecture.

If you want to get started on your home, our spots for Q1 of the new year are filling up. Visit our website (link in bio) to inquire.

Hang in there for me on this one (I feel very passionately about this topic 😂). One of the things we care most about when designing homes is where the pieces come from. Vintage and antique sourcing isn’t just about finding something “different”... It’s about choosing pieces that already carry a story.

The truth is, the most memorable rooms aren’t built all at once or off a single shopping list. They’re layered over time. A chair with worn arms. A table that’s been repaired more than once. A piece you weren’t looking for, but couldn’t leave behind. Those are the things that give a home its soul.

When you bring vintage into a space, you’re investing in more than furniture. You’re investing in craftsmanship that’s hard to replicate today, materials that have already stood the test of time, and details modern manufacturing simply doesn’t prioritize anymore. And there’s something deeply satisfying about living with pieces that feel personal.

This is why we source the way we do. Not to fill a room, but to give it meaning. Collected doesn’t mean cluttered. It means intentional, patient, and a little emotional (in the best way).

A home should feel lived in, loved, and uniquely yours.

Ok here’s the truth- I have a lot of favorite whites- but this may be my new fave for cabinetry!

Here’s the part no one tells you:
Most “bad” white cabinets aren’t bad colors… they’re bad context. White fails when it’s chosen in isolation. Paint chips are judged under fluorescent store lighting, held next to nothing, and decided before cabinets, counters, floors, or hardware are even finalized. Then that same white gets wrapped around an entire kitchen and suddenly feels gray at noon, yellow at night, or weirdly dull no matter how much light you have.

That’s why we chose Shoji White by Sherwin-Williams for our kitchen cabinets this time around.
Not because it’s trendy.
Not because it photographs well.
But because it behaves.

Shoji White has a soft warmth that doesn’t show up on a chip, but does show up when it’s next to real materials. It stays steady throughout the day, doesn’t compete with natural wood or stone, and doesn’t turn chalky once it’s covering full-height cabinetry. That consistency is what actually makes a white “safe” — not how popular it is.

Designer truth:
If a white only looks good at one time of day, it’s not a good cabinet white.
If it needs perfect lighting to work, it’s not a good cabinet white.
If paint decisions make you spiral, it’s not because you’re bad at this (it’s because white is reactive, and no one teaches you how to test it properly).

Our blog goes live today at 3:00pm PST, where I break down how to evaluate whites in your actual space and share a few other cabinet whites we consider truly “safe” — the ones we use repeatedly for clients because they hold up in real life, not just in photos.

Save this if you’re choosing cabinets soon.
