If you’ve picked up the April issue of Elle Decor, you would have seen the stunning makeover Antonio Martins created for the San Francisco Decorator Showcase. A bedroom that once was outdated and overwhelmed with bad, floral wallpaper, get’s an…
I’ve been teetering back and forth on updating our kitchen. By no means is it horrible, but it’s just not our thing. This very well might be my next project to undertake at the condo. While browsing for inspiration, I…
1.// 2.// 3.// 4.// 5.// 6.// 7.// 8.// 9. I’m getting to the phase where the big pieces have been purchased (for the most part) and finishing up the rooms depends primarily on the details. Last week, I was hunting…
I’ve been meaning to write and I just can’t seem to get a grasp on time. Not to mention, between work and hustlin’ to get things in order around the house- there isn’t much time left for anything else. I…
If you haven’t heard of Tia Zoldan, well you’re missing out. I have been eying her work for quite a while and didn’t realize who was behind all this creativity until now. I’m officially obsessed! There’s an ease about all…
Good Morning! I’ve been busy, busy this past weekend. Accomplished some major things around the house (even though there is always a ton more to do) but nevertheless, I feel great about the progress! Let’s chat the entrance first! If…
Good Morning! I’ve started working with a new client and while we are working on her whole apartment, I wanted to share one of the recent designs for her master bedroom. We didn’t end up going this route but I absolutely love…
Good Morning darlings! I am burnt out today- hoping I can make it through today and it’s all smooth sailing for the rest of the week. This morning, I want to share with you my design for my client’s daughter’s…
Well hello loves! I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday weekend! The extra two days off were just what I needed. We spent a day in Lake Geneva, went sailing with SeaBreeze Charters (more on that this week) and spent…
Hello Loves! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! I want to hear all about it… As for me, this weekend was a bit busy in a good way: celebrated one of my best friend’s birthdays and finally finished up a…
Good Morning and Happy Thursday! The weekend is almost here and I hope you’ve all entered into my giveaway with Votivo! The giveaway runs through next Wednesday, June 12th and we could all use something that smells and looks beautiful…
Good Morning Loves! I’ve been playing around with some ideas for the front entrance and have narrowed it down to two rugs I love and bringing the space together with them in mind. The first space is a bit more…
Petar is in an official state of panic- every time he comes home, I have found something else to do to our condo or a new purchase. He’s definitely the more financially conservative one in this relationship. Nevertheless, I sold…
Good Morning loves! I’m sorry it’s been a bit quiet over on the blog this week. I finally found out that my “tension headaches” are due to an irritated/pinched/cranky nerve in my neck. It’s not exactly pleasant; I get tingling…

In the thick of planning a trip for a client to Italy, I always get so excited to experience some of my favorite destinations, all over again, through their eyes. It also happens to be one of my favorite destinations for a solo trip; a surrender to the senses, to la bellezza in all its forms. The Italians just do it right. Mentally revisiting some of my favorite spots in this itinerary, including an idyllic stay in Porto Santo Stefano.
One of the more relaxing weekends I’ve had in a long time. A reminder that they shouldn’t be so sporadic and few in between. As I slowly ease into the new year, and in an effort to return to the joy of writing, there’s a new post on welcoming 2024 - how I’m planning on filling my cup this month, what I’m looking forward to and more simply put, a monthly check-in with myself and with all of you. x
I’ve been holding on to our wedding photos like a secret note in my pocket I just wasn’t ready to share quite yet. I wanted to hold on to the feeling a bit longer, before the moment felt fleeting.
After endless months of planning, weekly budgeting and saving, all the stress, our wedding day was a beautiful coming together of cultures, traditions and worlds. We were showered with love from near and far and we never lost sight of what this day was truly about – celebrating our unexpected love story. A story we will continue to celebrate.
Sharing with you today a small and intimate look at one of the happiest moments of our life together. I really do feel so very lucky to call this man my husband.
Thank you to @nicolettazarifi for capturing our special day on film and to @feelyourfilms for bringing them to life in a video we’ll cherish forever.

I spent the last week back in Chicago after two long years and while I crammed in way too much in 10 short days, I left feeling recharged and at peace...
I got to spend time with my mom and stepdad, even though it`s always too short and too fast; rented my apartment to a lovely couple; saw friends I haven`t seen in years and hit up most of my favorite spots including eating an excessive amount of Chipotle. Chicago weather behaved for us and even put on a fabulous Fall show, my favorite time of year.
And while I know the reasons why I chose to leave Chicago, it doesn`t mean that it`s not still a very important part of my life and of who I am. It seems, sometimes you need to leave home to truly find yourself. I was able to share all these amazing moments, in my (other) city, in our other home, with my husband, family and friends. I know how blessed I am and I never take this life I`ve built for granted.
A small ode to my other city, sweet home Chicago!

Proud to have been able to pen this piece for @hello_going as @airserbia rolls out their first direct flights between Serbia`s capital city of Belgrade and the "Windy City" - and my hometown of Chicago -after a 30-year hiatus.
While this article is meant to act as a comprehensive guide to flying Air Serbia; it is also a nod to Air Serbia’s long history and authentic culture and cuisine making it an affordable and competitive option when looking to hop the pond.
Finally got around to writing the first - of many - posts on Morocco while taking gardening tips from the beautiful Le Jardin Secret - a lush, green oasis in the heart of the medina in Marrakech. #mangogirls
