With a wall of exposed brick painted white, light marble... Read more
Okay, so Gap just released this plaid collab with Pendleton and I might be a little bit obsessed and launching into full-on Fall Lust Mode. This poncho? I die. Somebody hand me a warm, bourbon-spiked-something -- preferably in a cool mug. (Also: this headband for the Babygirl in my life? I think yes.)I know! I know: last month I talked about how we here in NorCal don't really need "fall... Read more

Hi, Kate Cabiltes here!After coming across the blog Stories by Venice Beach based designer Sarah Sherman SamuelI have been inspired by her spaces more times than I can count.
