I’m particularly drawn to the character that emanates from this San Fransisco home. Designer Antonio Martins has done an impecable job of transforming this flat into a place I would gladly call home. Between the incredible mouldings to the fabric-laden bedroom walls to the backyard oasis it wouldn’t take much for me to pack my bags and move right in.

When it comes to the field of interior design, often it’s the most obvious solution that ends up being the most beautiful.

Happy weekend sunshines!

There’s just something about long weekends that beg for long, leisurely breakfasts (that generally begin just after noon). On Monday morning, Justin and I awoke with absolutely zero plans. We putted around the house in our pyjamas before whipping up these bad boys to fill our bellies. While scones are not typically the first thing I gravitate to (something about their dry crumbliness isn’t generally my schtick), this recipe is definitely one I’d use again and again. The results are dense (yet surprisingly moist), quite easy  to prepare, and made for the ultimate breakfast treat.

For the most part, my rule of thumb is to escape the city whenever a long weekend hits. After a ton of running around the past few weeks, Justin and I decided that we would forgo cottage plans (we did not miss the traffic, let me tell you) and meander the city as we saw fit. Having no concrete plans whatsoever allowed us to host a last minute party (complete with sangria and board games), take in a jays game (which eventually led to a backyard barbeque) and wander the streets in search of ice cream and warm patios. The weather could not have been more perfect and the weekend in it’s entirety ended up being exactly what the doctor ordered.

Psst! You may have noticed a few changes around these here parts. I deemed this blog redesign as cursed months ago and I wasn’t even sure we’d make it here. But with the help of my trusty sidekick (slash designer) Aprile (who pulled serious strings for me. Oh how I love her) we finally made it! There are still a few wonky things and bits that need to be updated (hello sidebar that is still the same as it used to be) but we’re so so close! I hope you like it!
