Giving Pretty

September 29, 2020
They’re back! The most elegant, simple, and classic gift boxes by Sugar Paper exclusively for Target. They are only available during the holiday season and when they hit the stores I ruuuuuuuuuun for them. I may or may not have ordered more than I need but I find so many creative ways to use these boxes throughout the year. This year they come in a light aqua and gold color and oh my goodness, the colors couldn’t be more perfect for my aesthetic at home. I feel like they were made for me this year! I am planning on...

If these adorable keepsake boxes look familiar to you – it’s because I have the exact same set in my daughter’s closet but in a pretty pastel pink. They are the perfect set of boxes to put miscellaneous items in which are important to your kiddos. I have so many items I like to hold onto for my children or that they like to hold onto and because they are random items of importance we don’t have a specific place to keep or store those important items. Having a keepsake box for these said items helps eliminate clutter and...

Masculine. Modern. Pretty.

September 5, 2020
This small and socially distanced surprise 40th birthday dinner was nothing short of magical. The breathtaking views and the breeze of the ocean was the perfect backdrop for this modern and masculine birthday dinner. We managed to pull it all together in less than 2 weeks (thanks covid) and I couldn’t have done it without an amazing group of talented vendors. Thank you to my sweet client for trusting me in bringing this design to fruition.

Roasted Chickpea Salad

July 25, 2020
One of my favorite snacks to munch on are roasted chickpeas. They are delicious, nutritious and they keep me so full. Tossing them in salads is another way I like to enjoy them. I love the added flavor and texture that they bring to the table. I haven’t explored much outside of a little olive oil and salt on my chickpeas but there are a variety of seasonings you can add to them that won’t leave your palette bored.  I gravitate to a mix of sweet, salty, and tangy flavors in my salads and the ingredients I pulled together for this recipe really satisfy...

Pretty Please Pantry

July 24, 2020
I have always wanted to have an organized “pretty” pantry and one of the best things that came out of being quarantined for me is bringing that wish to fruition. Being an organized person has always come natural to me. My father was the same way, and well the apple doesn’t fall from the tree. I have noticed that as an adult, organizational projects relieve me ​of anxiety or stress and it’s a great mental distraction for me. In these uncertain times diving into this project really satisfied me all while truly resulting in a functional space for my family...

Lebanese Fattoush Salad

July 21, 2020
My husband is Lebanese/Syrian Armenian and let me just say that I have been introduced to so many delicious new foods that have quickly become some of my favorites. One of them is Fattoush Salad. I love it so much I make it weekly in our home. I have seen many different versions of this salad but the common denominator in the salad is tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, romaine lettuce and sautéed (or fried / baked/ store bought) pita bread tossed in a tangy sumac salad dressing. I am going to experiment with different vegetables and mixed greens the more...

Organizing and staying organized is one of those areas in my life that keep me sane to be quite honest. Since having children, trying to stay organized, well, it has become more of a constant job. Between toys, new clothes/outgrowing clothes, school work (art work), and things that children like to collect, I am always looking for pretty and functional ways to stay organized. One of my talented friends gifted my daughter with some pretty personalized keepsake boxes I just styled in my daughter’s closet and I am in love with them. In them I am going to put...

Father’s Day

May 25, 2020
It feels like yesterday we became parents and my husband became the most amazing father to our two children. I have said it before and I say it again – my husband is amazing at a lot of things, but he is the most amazing at being a father. As Father’s Day is quickly approaching, I have been so wrapped up trying to find something special for my husband from myself and our children. I don’t know why, but I find shopping for men so time consuming and not as easy as it is for women or for children....

The little big things

May 20, 2020
Since being quarantined, I have accomplished many of my home improvement wishes. One of my biggest long time wishes was a small yet big upgrade to my kitchen and today I shared the transformation. I changed the hardware on my cabinets and even though I knew it was going to look nice once I changed them, I definitely had underestimated how much it was going to change the aesthetic. I guess kitchen hardware is just like accessories to an outfit. It can really make or break a look. I wish I had done it sooner because I am so...

Floral DIY

May 15, 2020
I am so excited to share this post because arranging florals is one of my favorite things to do. I have many faux floral arrangements around my home but I have never taken the time to record the steps I actually take to arrange one. I go into much better detail on my Instagram via video on my stories but I thought to share the photos for reference here for you guys as well. These faux florals are from Michaels and they are typically found during the Spring season. I have only been able to buy them in person...
