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!

Introducing Sun Valley Saddle House — a western-spirited, layered renovation tucked in the Idaho mountains. We’re working on everything from entryway to bunkroom, reimagining this home with a fresh lens on rustic elegance and casual utility.

Pendleton patterns, copper accents, and a layered mix of leather, plaid, floral, and stone. It’s textural, rooted, nostalgic. There’s nothing “trendy” about this one — just timeless design choices that feel collected and connected to the land.

Are you drawn to this look? Would you live in a space like this? Is this your dream palette? We’d love to hear your thoughts.

We have a few project spots open if you’re craving a fresh start this fall. Whether you’re dreaming of a total refresh or simply want to finally make your space feel pulled together, we can help.

Let us know if you want to work together — we’d love to bring this kind of lived-in beauty to your home, too.

After years of designing for others, I created something to help you design for yourself.

Real talk, if you’ve been here a while, you’ve probably heard me mention our Design Guides. But today I want to share the WHY behind them.

Over the years, Derrick and I have poured our hearts into creating homes that feel beautiful not just aesthetically, but personally. Spaces that tell our story.

And that’s exactly what I wanted to help you do, too. These guides are more than just pretty moodboards-—they’re tools to help you figure out what makes you feel at home.

Because defining your style? That’s the first step to creating a space that actually feels like you.

And while we love working 1:1 with clients, I also know that not everyone wants—or needs—a full service designer. So though: what if l could hand over the same roadmap I use everyday.

That’s what these guides are.

Think of it as a designer in your back pocket-without the price tag or the long timeline.
Each guide includes:
• Shoppable moodboards
• Paint recommendations
• Furniture & material suggestions
• Style direction you can stick to
• Visual examples to take out the guesswork

It’s a shortcut to a pulled-together, elevated home-with soul.

WOW... Part two is here and she’s just as good.

You all loved the first round of finds, and I kept going—because clearly we’re in our backyard era. Think charming outdoor moments, budget-friendly planters, tabletop touches, and a few smart hacks that make it all feel thoughtful (without trying too hard).

Comment “SUMMER” and I’ll send you the full link list - there are some gems in here that feel designer-y but keep things chill and fun for summer.

Perfect if you’re hosting, grilling, or just want your patio to give something this season!
