Patrick Nadeau's Vegetal Design Planter would fit well in the H House, don't you think? 

Check out some of his other cool work on his site.  I especially love his Meuble Jardin for Hermes...

0 I'm Back! And My Week in Photos

I'm back...blogging from my shiny new Mac Book Pro!  It is taking a little getting used to using a Mac, and blogging without Photoshop, but I'm learning pretty quickly.  Otherwise, I've been fighting yet another sinus infection, so we've spent a lot of time on the couch.  Last weekend we did try a new breakfast spot: The Grand Casino Bakery and Cafe which was amazing...and had another little pool party which is always fun. Hope you had a good weekend...

1 Mini Vertical Terrarium

This is a completely fantastic idea.  My office could use a few of these.

2 Outdoor Inspiration: Cactus Love

This week I need a bit of outdoor space inspiration.  I think I've mentioned that my parents bought a mid century modern house in Los Angeles.  It's time to get the pool and area and landscaping ready for the summer.  We started today with the first round of succulents (of course), but we will need many more as well as some furniture and accessories...first for some inspiration. 


I still love these cacti from a Melbourne Nursery (photographed by Elly Yap) as much as the first time I saw them (and posted about here). We did manage to find some white cacti today, that we are very excited about...

1 Last Weekend Recap

I have to sneak in last weekend/weeks recap before this one starts!  I've had annoying computer and internet issues this week that have slowed me down, but that's ok.  So some highlights from the past week:


1. The weather was weird the past week in LA, this thick fog rolled in and you couldn't see anything, and then it rained, but there were also periods of beautiful sunshine.  We liked that part.
2. Brit now has an awesome hanging herb garden on our patio, that we are really excited about. It required some interesting and awesome items...like a machete (not really, it's a folding hand saw, but that's what we are calling in) and neon zip ties.
3.  We also got more succulents and cacti (because we didn't have enough already) and did some planting.
4.  Including planting a new aloe vera in my newest  Perch! Campy Planter...I love them so much!
5.  I also got some new Russell and Hazel Binders (I'm obsessed with the yellow one) and a BKR water bottle.  I'm totally guilty of drinking smart water from plastic bottles, because I hadn't found a reusable bottle that I like.  But I think this one might be it. 
6. I had brunch at the Jonathan Beach Club which was delicious and beautiful with great company.  Then I spent some time at my parent's house and got to hang out with my favorite doggie, Tilly. My dad started a vegetable garden while we were there, and my mom was cleaning the pool area.  One of my next tasks is going to be to design their pool/outdoor area, including landscaping and furniture.  The view is awesome, and I have a feeling we will be spending a lot of time there this summer.

Fong Rodriguez House from Craig Steely Architecture...love this one some much.  Yellow kitchen cabinets, deep wood floors, and a balcony that kinda makes you feel like you are in a human terrarium (I mean that in a good way.). Sign me up.

3 Flowers from Yes Please

Flowers from Yes Please...um yes, please.

I think it's safe to say if I ever have a wedding Yes, Please will be involved...and I ordered flowers (er, succulents!) from Succulent Love  last week, and the service was fantastic.

4 Whale + Succulents = Happiness

Did you see how happy my whale is now that he has his own mini succulents!? So happy...

2 Compai's Upcycled Sugar Molds

Compai's Upcycled Sugar Molds...I cannot even begin to tell you how happy these make me.

What once was a sugar mold is now a functional holders for succulents, flatware, makeup, pens & pencils...Place them on your kitchen table, in your window, in your craft area or coffee table. 
This one is marigold with polka dots and comes with 3 succulents. 
Each item is one-of-a-kind and hand painted by us. Small imperfections are part of its charm.
