Twins are More Fun!

March 5, 2021 by Kathleen Gretz

Twin beds are so charming! Whether you’re designing a guest room or a room for the kids or grandkids, look at it as an invitation to break out of the blah and go bold! Styling a space that is both fun and classic is easy when you start with pattern – and upholstered beds are […]

Classic, Romantic, California Style

January 18, 2021 by Kathleen Gretz

Last week I spent some time perusing the fun antique shops in Soquel. Some of the shops are so wonderfully curated and although I’m not a huge fan of using too much vintage in decorating I do believe a couple of pieces go a long way to getting that collected look. I saw quite a […]

Giving for 2021

January 12, 2021 by Kathleen Gretz

It’s so difficult to think about selling and running a business when there’s so much unrest in our country. It’s hard not to feel guilty for having the luxuries of a nice home and a healthy family, let alone food and safety, when others are suffering so. But, at the same time, we can’t give […]

Sweet Escapes

September 1, 2020 by Kathleen Gretz

Sometimes all we need is a cozy place to escape to – for just a little while. A quiet corner with some squishy pillows and a good book or magazine to read can be just what the mind and spirit needs. A sweet escape. As a kid I remember ducking into my blanket fort with […]

YouTube and the Beast

July 15, 2020 by Kathleen Gretz

I’ve been finding more and more great tutorials on YouTube. Illustrator tips and tricks, Photoshop stuff, but I could not find a decent vid on how to trim and train my beast of a bougainvillea! I’ve not given up. I’ll get there. It’s just a little daunting. So many thorns! So high up on the […]

Summer Sunshine Yellow

June 20, 2020 by Kathleen Gretz

Hello Summer! This is one of my favorite new designs – Dahlia Stripe! And I love it in yellow. It’s the perfect summer color! Today the pattern is reminding me of our trip to Newport, Rhode Island last year. The town has its mansions and classic, sophistication as well as the quaint cottages closer to […]

Just a Smudge

June 13, 2020 by Kathleen Gretz

More and more I’m clearing the energy in my house. It’s not that it’s bad – it just could use a little lift sometimes. I would say a good clearing is pretty essential when you’re working from home. Mostly I’ve been burning sage. I love the smell and the calming effect it has for me. […]

Home Growing Lettuces and Pillows

May 29, 2020 by Kathleen Gretz

Are you trying to keep busy? Maybe building raised beds and trying out gardening? I’ll admit this is a grand experiment. It’s also a lot of work! But it is lovely to watch things grow a little every day. Not “having” to run so many errands (trips to the market for one item) has made […]

Modern Tropics and Calming Greens

April 3, 2020 by Kathleen Gretz

Are you feelin’ that island breeze? Can you hear the calm sound of the waves lapping at the shore? I’m trying! A tropical vacation sounds soooo good but staying-put is what’s going on here. Relaxing into this quarantine isn’t super easy but getting some green in the house helps a little. The best kind of […]
