Weekend Links: 29

| By New Darlings

Greetings from San Francisco! We decided to skip town for the next few days to the Bay Area.  We’ve been indoors for much of the last month and it’s been so refreshing to spend some time outside, walking from shop to shop, and sitting on park benches just people watching and sight seeing.  We’ve been drinking all the coffee SF will offer us and thinking about heading over to the SFMOMA today to grab a few things for our home. It’s been over a year since our last time in San Francisco  and we’re thrilled to be visiting our favorite spots all over again, in addition to so many we missed out on.  If you’ve been here before we don’t have to hype this city up, but if you haven’t… we definitely recommend spending some time here. (You can view last year’s city guide here.)  This is one of our favorite American cities to explore and we’d love to make this trip more often from here on out.  We’ve been out and about most of our time here so far,  we’ve found some great links around the web plus some favorite items, while getting in our caffeine fix.  Enjoy!

Palm Springs Summer 2017

Every year we spend a few days in Palm Springs. It’s not really an escape, temperature wise, but there’s nothing like a change of scenery to feel creative and refreshed. We found a beautiful Airbnb and spent the weekend shooting some fun projects, BBQing, and hanging poolside with Henry. He wasn’t a fan of the pool, which crushed our pet-parent hearts, ha!, but it was really nice having him on a little trip with us, even if it was just a few hours away. Here’s a few photos we snapped that weekend…Read More

Musical Chairs

Since our move to Phoenix (4 years ago!), we’ve lived in four different places (3 apartments and our current house).  Of all the places we’ve lived in, our current house has been the toughest for us.  That could easily be due to the fact that it truly belongs to us, so we’re giving every square foot of this place way more thought and attention than we would have in the past. Renting vs buying, am I right? 😉  We never had the liberty to knock things down, customize and paint the way we have this time around, and those decisions all impacted the rest of the house design and decor wise, so we definitely felt more pressure. We mentioned in our last blog post that bringing in a blue velvet sofa gave the room a much needed boost of color and once we did that we felt ready to take a few more risks in the space.  Let us (formally) introduce the plaid twins in the room… these are the Jack Chairs.Read More
