The Perfect Fall Cocktail

October 25, 2022

Apricot Blood Orange Vodka Martini

Looking for a festive and delicious cocktail to serve at your next fall gathering? Look no further. This cocktail, courtesy of yummly.com, is the perfect compliment to any fall comfort food you may be serving. We paired it with clams in white wine broth the other night, and it was oh so good!

Apricot Blood Orange Vodka Martini

1 EGG WHITE

2 OZ VODKA

½ OZ SIMPLE SYRUP

2 BLOOD ORANGES, JUICED

½ LEMON, JUICED

1 TSP APRICOT PRESERVES OR JAM

1. ADD ICE WATER TO MARTINI GLASS TO CHILL WHILE PREPARING COCKTAIL

ADD EGG WHITE TO A SHAKER. SHAKE FOR ABOUT 30-40 SECONDS UNTIL EGG WHITE IS FROTHY. FILL SHAKER WITH ICE. ADD ORANGE JUICE, LEMON JUICE AND APRICOT PRESERVES. SHAKE WELL UNTIL COMBINED, ABOUT 30-40 SECONDS. PLACE ICE INTO GLASS AND STRAIN CONTENTS OF SHAKER INTO CHILLED MARTINI GLASS. ENJOY!

Let us know if you give this a try… we promise you, you won’t be disappointed. We may or may not be shaking one up right now!

The bunk room at our Sun Valley Saddle House project is officially taking shape! Painting is done, carpet is in, and it’s finally starting to feel like the cozy retreat we envisioned (next up, wallpaper!).

What’s the single hottest tip for making a space feel cozy? Color drenching!

We color-drenched the walls and ceiling in @farrowandball Stifkey Blue, and layered in @stantoncarpet “Tattersall” which instantly warmed up the space. There’s something about that moody, cave-like feel that just works up here in the mountains.

We love designing bunk rooms because they’re where form meets function… practical for families or guests, but also the perfect opportunity to get a little fun and funky with color and pattern. This one’s already giving us movie night + ski weekend vibes.

So much is happening at this project right now. Built-ins, lighting, primary suite remodel, custom bar, and furniture deliveries are all in motion, and I can’t wait to share more soon.

Two years in the making, 48 hours of installing, styling, and watching this project finally come alive for its moment in front of the lens. A shoot with @emilykennedyphoto capturing every detail, and this home on her best behavior.🤍

What started as a vision grew into something bigger than us—and standing here now, it feels surreal. I feel so grateful working with clients who value our expertise and trust the process. Thank you @susie.wright for believing in us. Bringing your dreams into reality for your home was an honor.🫶🏻

So Susie HQ, you were worth the wait.

Okaaaay, this may be my new favorite swivel chair! Casual meets elevated (totally my vibe): classic rolled-arm silhouette, medium height back, generous seat, and 360° swivel. Looks tailored, lives easy.

We loved it in a recent project-perfect reading nook or family room pair. Comment
‘CHAIR’ and I’ll send the link.

Tennessee Greek Revival (with a little cowboy swagger) 🤠🏛️

Now that we’re here, we’re wide-eyed at everything-front-porch style, moody hotel bars, denim blues, burnished brass, live music drifting down the block.
This month’s location design is our love letter to the South: crisp columns, iron lanterns, luxe textures, and a wink of ranch-polished but not precious. Oh how I love the vibes here!! I hope you love some ideas we have pulled to get you inspired too.

Comment ‘TENNESSEE’ and we’ll DM the palette, textiles, lighting and vintage goods to pull this mood at home.

Our LTK has the full Location collection-unique, vintage, soulful finds curated to play well together. Save this for later
