diy - bathroom remodel

Over the long 4th of July weekend, Lexi and I decided that we were sick of our upstairs bathroom. It had been neglected for some time and didn't reflect our personalities. With a little help from some Restoration Hardware accessories I purchased awhile ago and IKEA ... we were able to modernize it without too much effort. Mind you, if we owned the home we would have repainted and taken out the 1970s marble countertop, but we rent ... and this is as good as it gets :)

the good ole' us-of-a

Happy 4th of July - hopefully you all have yummy cupcakes at your house too!

tahoe + me = love

I have been visiting Tahoe - Chinquapin on the north shore that is - for my entire life. I think it is the hundreds of memories I have of it coupled with the lake's absolute beauty that makes it one of my favorite places on Earth. I love how it smells ... how the sun feels in the mid-afternoon ... how the pine trees sound when the wind rustles through them ... and how vibrant the sunset is over the lake.

I recently spent nine days there and instead of telling a story for every picture, I am simply going to post some of my favorite photos because it's the memories of this incredible place that I hold in my heart that make them so special!
