interiors : jessica de ruiter’s california home

this home tour, that i originally spotted on c home, is what my modern house dreams are made of. this gem is the mid-century silver lake home of jessica de ruiter, a fashion stylist, and her husband, jed lind, who worked on the design and maintained the home’s original architecture. lind works for one of my favorite firms to follow, commune design. i love the warm wood tones mixed with the eclectic textiles and minimal aesthetic. that front door…

interiors : jenni kayne’s contemporary california home

when i came across fashion designer jenni kayne’s beverly hills home tour on architectural digest, i knew immediately it would go in the ‘dream home’ file. the modern clean lines, the soaring wood ceilings, the custom millwork, and the steel frame windows won me over. i will be referencing this one as we design our new home. hope you enjoy!

coffee + creativity

{coffee + my to do list + a sweet postcard from josh}

coffee + creativity. always the perfect pair. i love drinking coffee and finding inspiration for the day. mornings are my most creative time, when i feel the most possibility and the least overwhelmed. i love this quote below. this can be hard to remember this sometimes when the alarm clock is going off too early or i feel uninspired, but it is a good reminder. when is your most creative time?

diy : shibori dyeing

this winter before it got too cold, i thought i would try my hand at the shibori indigo dyeing trend that i am seeing everywhere. blue is my favorite color and i wanted to use make tablecloths and napkins for parties and specifically, a baby shower. my sister and i tackled this project together and had so much fun. i bought this indigo dye kit and these cloth napkins to dye. i am so happy with the results and am sharing some of the lessons we learned.

{indigo dyeing kit, wood blocks, and rubber bands}

{napkins folded six ways}

{mixing in soda ash}

{wet bucket, dye bucket, and rinse bucket}

{post dyeing dry out – start as green and fade to blue}

{the results after unrolling}

{six different designs}

{tablecloth design made with woodblocks}

this turned out to be a really quick and easy diy, and now i have some beautiful textiles to use. thanks natalie for your help! a few tips:

• make sure to buy more rubber bands and more wood blocks than are in the kit. we used a large bag of rubber bands and made some large wood blocks for the tablecloth design.
• spend the time to get everything set up before starting – the lines, the rinse buckets…so you can quickly dye and hang.
• if doing a large amount of fabric, use large clean five gallon buckets.
• dip into the dye more than once. we only dyed once and the colors fades when dry. they will look very dark at first, but only because it it wet.
• wash in the washing machine once after dyeing process with no detergent on cold.
• these two tutorials are really great for folding designs. (one and two) i also made up a few of my own designs.

there are endless possibilities. be creative and enjoy!

moodboard inspiration

how amazing are these mood boards from emily henderson’s blog for the ban.do headquarters? these were put together by jen gotch as inspiration for the space. so colorful. so fun. so unconventional. and so dolly parton. that’s all. see the most recent update on the house here.
