El Camino Del Norte

My husband, Mac and I took nice week roadtrip to northern California. Aside from coming down with a cold at the beginning I had the best time finding amazing goodies for all of you!

Here is the mass of great things I retrieved.

This is a picture of my space in Newport Antique center (OB)

This is my vignettes space after my trip. The cubbies, and pink iron bed have already gone to a good home!

I found some real hidden treasures up north and an insane new source for everything from large structural pieces to little glass floats. Best of all we got to visit my sister-in-law who we don't get to see nearly enough.

Namaste,

Robin

Wiggle room.

I've recently moved my space in Vignettes from the window to a larger space.

Seeing all of my new stuff together is so exciting. Within days a lot of it was gone, but I just took a great trip up the coast and tomorrow I will post all of my goodies from that adventure.

New bottle collection, intricate birdhouses, detailed lamps!

Namaste,

Robin

Here comes the sun!

With summer right around the corner and plans of entertaining on the mind I am prepping the house front to back. This past weekend I started with the front porch.

I found this whole vintage iron set to sell at my space at Vignettes in OB but then decided to keep it for the season. My potted Hydrangeas are still going strong from Rachel Ashwells book reading, also at Vignettes. I love live potted plants on the porch, it just bring the garden that much closer to being inside.

As you can see Lucy, my 1/2 yorkie 1/2pomeranian/shitzu/chihuahua, is already enjoying it.

I made this bird feeder out of an old ceiling light cover, hung it from some rope and added my favorite vintage chandelier details. It looks amazing in the garden and the birds love it.

Wrapped up the day of freshening up the yard with a salad pulled right from my garden, more info on that to come once it's really blooming!

Some serious DIY

This has by far been the biggest DIY project my husband and I have ever gotten ourselves into. From the basic structure to the bar stools, and surfboard on the wall( he shaped it)w e did it all!

I could spend forever talking about the details but feel free to email me if there is something you would like to know more about.
