What up Campers?! Steph here, laptop tapping from the teensie western outpost of Crested Butte, CO. Otherwise known as the coziest little Hallmark-Hall-of-Fame-esque mountain town you’ve ever seen. I’m assuming my normal Sunday morning routine – (coffee in hand, Norah Jones & pals jamming on the playlist, OD-ing on Pinterest with Gus under foot)… except instead of saltwater, it smells like Fall & firewood & heaven here, and there’s chilly, clean mountain air wafting in through the open windows.
Anyhooski – here’s the latest & greatest reel of my favorite things:
File under: Future Home Pipe Dreams. The blue door, the white brick, the lantern, the ivy… it’s perfection. {via}
These vintage Mercury Glass gems from 1st Dibs have been on my wishlist since the beginning of time.
Ahhhooooooooooooh a monogram, in coral + chartreuse = air blowing up my southern sensibility shorts.
Shower door porn. {via}
Vintage ladder kilim – Dash & Albert used to make a good ladder rug that’s been disco’d, so I really only see these in vintage form these days, but I love them. They have detail and warmth and pattern without being too busy, and they’re perfect for layering.
This tuxedo ruffler from J.Crew (currently 30% off, BTW) reminds me of Jayne’s wardrobe ca. 1985… and also makes me wanna wear it to work with a pencil skirt, or with beat-up jeans and booties to Sunday brunch.
Vintage suzani lumbars I bumped into at Hollywood at Home a few weeks ago. Stunning in person – the photo doesn’t do them justice. But what I love about these is that you *kinda* just need 1 on (an otherwise simple) bed, and you have a showstopper. Or they mix & mingle perfectly with other patterns.
The best $38 you’ll ever spend = on these leggings from Vici. They come in a whole ROYGBIV rainbow of colors, and they’re SO FREAKING COMFORTABLE. We’re talking elastic waistband status, people. I repeat: ELASTIC WAISTBAND. They’re so comfortable and flattering it’s stupid. Did I mention they’re $38? K. I have them in this army green, and also in the black – which is more charcoal/faded black. Also craving them in midnight blue & wine, but I’m trying to exercise a little restraint.
Since she tapered off of blogging over at Nest Egg, I follow Nashville Designer Rachel Halvorson’s insta to keep up with her glorious work. But lately, I stalk her account for these videos of her ADORABLE CHUBBY TODDLER, where they try to subtitle his slobbery, adorable gibberish. “A goosey who pooped got sick” = I DIE. And, “THE SCHEWAGE!” – BAAAHhfhfdhahahhaa. Watch this one and this one. You’re welcome.
Addis in Midnight/Pasha (Peter Dunham’s latest & greatest) blows my shorts up like you wouldn’t believe. It is perfect. Also comes in a cream and chocolate color way that looks very understated cowboy chic.
Using it in my #modernharmhouse project in Ohio… my client wanted to inject a smidge of lilac/purple for something unexpected (it’s an otherwise muted/neutral palette), which made me jump for joy. Finding this gem checked that box and tied the whole dang thing together.
Said pattern is also current swathing the walls at Hollywood at Home in LA, and you’ve never seen anything cozier in your life than an entire room enveloped in that stuff.
I would love to use these new sconces from Arteriors, anywhere. I love that there’s a mix of material & texture (wicker + brass). Flanking an upholstered bed, they’d be money – perfectly layered & understated without being boring.
I see and get to design some pretty fancy kitchens these days, with bells & whistles out the wazoo… but at my core, I’m still just a sucker for the warmth of a sweet, simple kitchen with some patina. {via}
Samesies.
I’d like to whip up these Pumpkin Beer Pretzels with Chipotle Queso in that kitchen tonight, and house them over a Netflix marathon. If that doesn’t sound like the best Sunday ever, I dunno what does. Signed, praisesweetbabyjesus my new jeggings have an elastic waistband.
Loving this piece by John Zurier.
Love / need / am coveting this leather satchel.
Pretty palette for Fall – spesh on the tabletop. Just layers of blues and layers of antique metals.
If you’re in the market for new underroos, I’d recommend this over the shoulder boulder holder:
I #cantstopwontstop with the blue & white tile. These are my new faves:

While we’re looking at things in pairs, I’d give my left nut to have my weave morph into something a little more mermaid-esque, comme ça… WHO WAKES UP LIKE THAT?!
Is that ever true. I feel like that’s one of the most solid lessons I’ve learned in my 30’s.
If EVER you find yourself with a cold this winter, do yourself a favor and grab about 5 of these. One of them does more for me than the entire contents of my medicine cabinet.
I’ve been sweating Kiini brand suits for awhile, and I’m thinking about scooping the pink version up for a January trip to Mexico.
This is a custom fireplace via a fellow San Diego-based Designer. Super into it… there are a few things going on: the tile on the hearth and surround, the floating (looks like a reclaimed) mantle, the curvy shape etc… but it still feels nice and simple to me.
Just another all-time fave I was scouting a few weeks back at BDG tile – Tabarka’s Izmir – for one of the bathroom floors at #projectsantabarbarainvegas.
Loving the mountains, but dag… do I love the saltwatery air and technicolor universe that is San Diego.
Love the kitchens with islands-as-big-as-my-house & all, but I love this homemade beaut just as well. So easy to do with some reclaimed lumber, or an antique piece of furniture – just have a remnant of natural stone cut for the top and you’re golden.
ASOS = my favorite place to shop for lingerie. Love this set.
Bastideaux textiles (through Nicky Rising) are my new favorites – especially for dude pads. This one is Napili… aka happy baby pineapples.
Using their Bogo in Midnight (pictured behind the wool stripe pillow – via DRC San Diego) for a downtown bachelor pad in San Diego. MONEY. #clientbadassbachelor
This gorgeous antique headboard appeals to my southern-rooted, Stevie B sensibilities.
Fall fashion goals. {via}
GOOD GOD IF YOU KNOW WHAT’S GOOD FOR YOU, MAKE GRILLED CHEESE + TOMATO SOUP FOR SUPPER TONIGHT. Gobs of Grilled Cheese recipes here… my go to, howevuh, is Pacific Natural Foods’ Organic Creamy Tomato soup, + grilled cheese on fresh sourdough, with some RUHL good extra sharp cheddar, dipped in Bonne Maman’s strawberry jam.
These dog bowls are about a jillion dollars at some highfalutin pet boutique in La Jolla, but I’d like someone to make them for me… *COUGH* Chris.
I may or may not have just bought this for the future President of the United States… Gus. Are you following him on Insta yet? Cuz you should be.
We just put these in my #modernfarmhouse project’s kitchen in Ohio, and they’re stunners. One of my favorite lanterns ever… look at the oxidized copper patina. This pic I snapped from the Visual Comfort Vegas showroom a few weeks back.
Snap from the Pom Pom Home booth at To Dine For in La Jolla a few weeks back. All I ever needed was 2 of these at the foot of my bed, or on either side of my dining table.
I just wanna move in. I want everything in here.
Dying to use this gorgeous tile somewhere… via a trip to Country Floors in LA this past Spring.
Lorna Luxe’s Instagram is on point for perfectly layered neutrals. Also, I stalked the bra in this first shot, and thru some quick stalking I hath discovered a stellar new source for underthings.
Log this under one-of-my-favorite-patterns-ever: Peter Fasano’s Hillevi in Buff.
This shade of blue. On everything – cabinetry, millwork, furniture – anything.
Loving the artwork of Ines Longevial – discovered via Krista from Cloth & Kind’s Pinterest. They have superb taste.
Susan Connor = another new textile muse I can’t get enough of.
New and delightfully whimsical Keaton lamp, from Visual Comfort. I have an antique lamp almost just like this, packed away somewhere in a basement in North Carolina. Sniff.
I need a new business card holder-thingy *COUGH* please Santa.
How precious would Coeur in Olive from Les Indiennes be in a little girl’s room?
I may’ve posted this pendant (or one like it) 99x, but here’s to #100. LOVE.
I love a mosaic tile backsplash that looks like artwork just about as much as I love a classic subway tile backsplash, but you know what’s really growing on me? Running your countertop up the backsplash as well. These campers took it a step further and integrated the sink as well. But it’s such a clean, simple, gorgeous look – and probably uber easy to clean. My home skillet Betsy of Bixby & Ball did it in her kitchen, and it’s stunning. PS: love the open shelf they popped in here, too.
Get in my office. Kthanksbye. {via}
Obsessed with this oh-so-simple but chic entry. Those tall baskets could hide a multitude of evils (toys for all my friends who are parental units) and the curved glass or lucite console hasn’t gotten old for me yet.
Behold. The most perfectly indiscernible blue-grey paint color, ever… with the faintest hint of lavender. My last 2 bedrooms have been this color.
Last but not least, you just can’t beat pretty hardware. These hex pulls are from Rejuvenation and they’re $11 each… done.
I lied. This needs to go last. Maybe a good thing to do before the week starts over tomorrow?
Have a great Sunday!!!!
xoxo,
