Many Christmases ago, I decided to bake holiday cookies with my then toddler as a fun craft activity we could turn into a tradition. When I went to the store to pick up food coloring they were sold out of all the festive hues. So I’m thinking ok great, let’s not do color and go all white. \u0026nbsp;No artificial colors and easier cleanup! Let me tell you, it’s not a coincidence my daughter’s favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla. I may or may not have swayed her to pick what would be easiest to wash from sticky fingers and clothes! But then I realize it would be a little sad to make Santas and trees and candy canes in all white. So we picked the cutters that made sense —\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+4CRz3I42IIlzBmUQCuiVOw\" title=\"snowflakes\"\u003Esnowflakes\u003C\/a\u003E. It ended up working out so beautifully since they are so easy to decorate and sticking to one kind of shape and color made baking huge batches super efficient. I’m all about that less effort, maximum impact way of life. They make wonderful gifts that are sure to delight.

As a child I was extremely active and had a pretty well-rounded diet. We ate at the dining table as a family every night. The menu was planned and prepped weeks in advance, and my mom had a Pinterest-worthy grocery system. Meals consisted of a vegetable dish, soup , a \u003Ci\u003Eviand\u003C\/i\u003E, rice and of course something sweet to finish. Everything was always fresh and homemade. We would make our own pasta, bread and even grind our own beef. In my teens I became more proactive. I took dance and workout classes, \u0026nbsp;read books on nutrition and had a hand in helping with meal prep. Over the years, I've maintained a pretty healthy lifestyle for my family and I. \u0026nbsp;We all get our daily dose of fruits and veggies through delicious smoothies and salads, I cook and bake at least 3 times a week, and on the weekends I whip up large meals and freeze them for the days I need to serve up something quick and easy. We're all active and engage in basketball, dance classes, long hikes on the weekends, bike rides exploring new cities and pool time in the summer.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;\"\u003ERecently however, I had a scary health episode that required an intense physical check up. After a few weeks of tests, we learned that I had extremely high triglyceride levels and what I experienced was hypoglycemia. In simple words, \u0026nbsp;I have way too much bad fats in my blood and I tend to experience low-blood sugar from eating the wrong foods. This means I am at risk for developing coronary artery disease and diabetes. While this was a shock, I am extremely thankful they didn't find anything more serious.

Since I now know my body doesn't process these foods that well - some adjustments need to be made. Refined carbs and sugar are the triglyceride culprits. A high protein, low carb\/glycemic diet like Atkins is something I have to slowly ease into in order to keep my blood sugar in check, and keep my trigs down. On top of that, I need to avoid caffeine and alcohol (not bad since I pretty much eliminated these from my diet years ago due to my allergies).

I can't believe how fast time is flying by. Seems like just yesterday we threw her this \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.craftandcouture.com\/2012\/10\/natalies-neon-adventure-party-part-2.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Eadventure party\u003C\/a\u003E. For her sixth celebration, it was a toss between a Frozen or Hello Kitty theme. I was surprised she eventually decided on Hello Kitty.

Seesaw was the perfect venue in terms of capacity and aesthetics. The scandinavian decor and light filled space created the perfect backdrop. When deciding on the over-all look, I went with a modern Japanese tea party. Think\u0026nbsp;\u003Ci\u003EMuji minimalism with a dash of Kawaii cuteness\u003C\/i\u003E.

They were so elegantly simple yet bold at the same time. I loved the rustic modern look and decided it would be a fun project and a great addition to our holiday decor. I'm totally floored with how they turned out. Paired them with some matte white paper mache diamonds, and some fun new wire ornaments from CB2 (all, above).

They are so easy to create \u003Ci\u003Eand \u003C\/i\u003Ekeep alive, so they make for a great beginner's garden. We've got around 5 of these guys around the house right now - it's my hobby and obsession.

Not that there's anything wrong with that- I love me a good sparkly setting. Lately I've been into veering away from tradition. Practicing restraint in design is a good \u0026nbsp;challenge. Our style is\u0026nbsp;simple, modern, yet cozy. Discovering ways to decorate our home during this time of the year becomes tricky when almost everything out there seems to scream \"more is more\". \u0026nbsp;I keep three things in mind when I'm pulling a look together - it always has to be 1. unique, and 2. easy, and 3. practical without sacrificing style. I aim for settings that don't require too much time or effort and can be repurposed throughout the year. My goal is always to evoke a mood through a mix of thoughtful details and unexpected elements. I put myself in the guests shoes and think....what will he or she be \u0026nbsp;expecting at a Thanksgiving table? (Then I try to do exactly the opposite)....What will surely wow them or make them feel special? I maintain our simple aesthetic yet do something completely different each year, and this table is my favorite so far.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003EI strayed from traditional elements like the maple leaves, pumpkins, and typical foliage.\u0026nbsp;I wanted it to be clean, fresh, organic yet still inviting. When you think modern, it can give off a stark cold vibe.

Sculptural geometric vases topped off with air plants and glass terrariums filled with succulents lend a fresh take on traditional floral decor - and not to mention can be re-used all year round. They are extremely budget and environmentally friendly and would make great favors for your guests. I also added a vase filled with eucalyptus pods - our place smells soooo good. No flowers you ask?

Instead of place cards, and to add a graphic punch to the setting, I used simple letter press \"thank you\" cards I had stashed in my stationery box. Slipped the napkins inside them and topped the setting off with an air plant. I plan on writing a special note inside for each guest. Simple yet makes a thoughtful statement.

After the devastating typhoon that hit the Philippines, I felt it wasn't appropriate to take photos and write about what clothes I'm currently wearing while most people don't even have a roof over their heads or food to eat. Even before this tragic natural disaster occurred, something I'd constantly ask myself is - what am I doing posting photos of myself and things that are surely luxuries to others?\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nI was raised to be modest, humble, kind, generous, hardworking and loving. I went to an all-girls Catholic school from preschool all the way through high school. I only now realize how much of an impact that's made in me. I'm constantly judging my actions. Is this right? Who can benefit from this? Will I be hurting anyone in the process? Etc. There is this sense of guilt I have each time I post a photo or write about something I'm coveting. Am I being materialistic? Is this considered flaunting?\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nI had a nice long chat with a couple of friends of mine about this. I'm thankful for them and the wisdom they had to share about this whole other world we call blogging and social media. The answers to all of those questions I have really lie within my own intentions. What people perceive is their own opinion, \u0026nbsp;what's important is that my heart and mind are set in the right place. This is a hobby of mine that I enjoy and I get to exercise my talents with it. This blog is only a small part of what I like to do - it is not a reflection of who I am. We now live within a society that also exists in our phones, computers, and other gadgets. There is a constant exchange of ideas and information - including what we eat, what we wear, and what we buy. There is nothing wrong with all that unless we let it define who we are.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nI'm pretty sure that I'm not alone with these thoughts. Yes, there are so many people who are hurting or in desperate situations out there. We can pray, we can offer help, we can go out of our way to make a difference, and we can be \u003Ci\u003Esensitive.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003EBut that doesn't mean we should give up the things that keep us inspired and motivated. Sharing and influencing creativity is just as important as any other profession. Maybe the best way to contribute to society is to do what you do and do it the best way possible. Somewhere out there in the Philippines, a family is now receiving food and care given to them by the US government. Food and care paid for by hard earned tax dollars. Tax dollars paid perhaps by a blogger's income.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nI applaud every single person that's contributed to the relief efforts in my homeland. Thank you for your selfless donations, hours of work, sacrifice and continued prayer. To my fellow bloggers that, just like me - are questioning if what we do is enough........\u0026nbsp;Set your heart in the right place, do what you do, and do it the best way possible. That's the best way we can help. You're not less of a person for not denouncing your personal belongings and flying across the world to help out. Don't beat yourself up for not setting up a charity on behalf of the victims. There are some people that seem to be helping out yet their intentions are really elsewhere. I say mind your own, stop comparing what you do, what you have, and what you give to others. Blog on and use your voice to reach more helping hands!

You know them - those tiny fuzz balls found on most knit fabrics after a bit of wear. They happen due to friction and matting of the fibers.

Avoid shaving with a razor - they can lead to holes and do more damage than good. Electric shavers are great, but I prefer not using yet another battery-dependent gadget. Sweater stones get the job done, but they can crumble and they can leave an unpleasant scent. Thanks to Miss Martha, I've discovered you can use a fine tooth comb (I get packs of 5 at the dollar store). If you want something a bit fancier, this \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/15aOSDF\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003ED-Fuzz-It comb\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E is a great effective alternative. Lay your sweater on a flat surface. Use one hand to hold the fabric down. Then with gentle, quick short strokes comb through the pills - do not dig into the fabric. Tuck any snags back in and cover it with your finger when going over that area. After combing through, I go over the sweater (or scarf or shirt, etc) with a clothes brush to get the tinier fuzz and lint. I use a \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/minnewyork.com\/redecker-pocket-clothes-brush.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003Ecompact clothes brush by Redecker\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E (however any natural bristle hair brush could do the trick).

They are definitely pricey, but if you calculate how much you save on dry cleaning bills they are more than worth it! I love the soft scent, and how amazing my clothes look and feel after washing. To keep costs down, I only get their two specialty detergents for silks, wool, and cashmere (pictured above). For everything else, we use regular detergent (Cheer Stay Colorful). I have tried Woolite and the like before, but they don't compare to the gentleness and effectiveness of the Laundress.

But of course, they all come with a hefty price tag. Similar pendants and chandeliers I've been eyeing at a few local dealers are also pretty expensive. Decided a DIY was in order. One way to make sure it wouldn't turn out too horrible was to pattern the project after something similar to our current chandelier.

When it comes to DIY - I'm always trying to find ways to do things the quickest yet best way possible. I need to get it done fast or I get really impatient and then I don't end up finishing it (yes I know, I'm bad). That paired with the fact I have no electrician skills made me decide to paint the piece while still suspended from the ceiling. Because of that, I had to brush paint on instead of spray (way less messy).\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\"\u003E3. I took off the decorative glass balls found on the middle section of each lamp. Since the arms couldn't be taken apart, I had to break the glass to remove them. I wrapped each one in a bag, and hammered into it so the pieces would just fall and collect in the bag- no cleanup and nobody got hurt.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\"\u003E4.

Paint away! The brush I used is amazing! It left absolutely no brush marks when the paint dried. And the paint - I highly recommend as well. I actually like the finish better than the sprays I have used in the past. It dried to a perfect antiqued brass patina. Work with quick long and short strokes - the paint dries super fast. Just one coat did the trick for me. I didn't use a clear top coat - not necessary for this kind of project.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\"\u003E6.

Mom has a DIY approach to almost everything, so naturally that rubbed off on me. When we wanted something, you name it - she would try to copy it and make it for us. She sewed our costumes, perfected recipes, and crafted decor for our home. There is something about creating things yourself, and I appreciate it all now even more than before.\u0026nbsp;The home-made goodness, perfect imperfections, and quality time spent together.

Yesterday, we raided our pantry and what we had was just enough for one of our favorite and fun recipes - Sugar cookies. The sky's the limit when it comes to these because they can be shaped and decorated in every way possible.

Bake cookies until right before the edges turn golden brown (about 12-13 minutes) - this will make them more chewy.

They are everywhere these days - invading coffee tables, book shelves, desks, tabletops and even hung up on walls or from the ceiling.

Last Christmas I crafted some urchins out of styrofoam balls and skewers, which worked perfectly as ornaments for the tree. But I wanted something more substantial, so I came up with this version that uses clay. I'm pretty happy with how ours turned out, and at less than $10 for two decorative urchins it was totally worth it! It was so easy - a quick project my four year old and I did together. \u0026nbsp;If you want to add a touch of glam in your space, get a kick out of making things yourself and enjoy saving a few bucks, give this a try!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhCKuVweIZ395hGZPGiXrQ1f5v8ChFEUklu5gRfJ-3R3iAuNZPM3_h8-EdWxSBTmx0Z0DK0el3EGJ1jU8cEioqQCH0-xWjv6Q1gG6AuVaFD5WhlSb3iBM3B0quLsxX2bo9sJyyhPf7hN22w\/s1600\/diy-urchin2.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhCKuVweIZ395hGZPGiXrQ1f5v8ChFEUklu5gRfJ-3R3iAuNZPM3_h8-EdWxSBTmx0Z0DK0el3EGJ1jU8cEioqQCH0-xWjv6Q1gG6AuVaFD5WhlSb3iBM3B0quLsxX2bo9sJyyhPf7hN22w\/s640\/diy-urchin2.jpg\" width=\"428\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003EM A T E R I A L S\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ci\u003E\u0026nbsp;(MAKES 2 6\" URCHINS):\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n1 Can gold or brass spray paint\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n2 packs mini wood dowels (I got mine at Michael's)\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n1 small square Sculpey oven-bake clay (any color)\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003ET I P S\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n1.\u0026nbsp;There are different tutorials online, but \u0026nbsp;most of them use either styrofoam or self-hardening clay.

For us, the family room is our favorite. It's a pretty small space, but we've packed a lot into it. What I love most is how it came together over time. It's filled with vintage heirlooms, thrift store scores, Craigslist finds, Ikea\u0026nbsp;hacks, and a few higher-end pieces. There's a little something for everyone, its comfortable, and it's functional. \u0026nbsp; Natalie has her own little corner where she can craft and color while mom and dad work on the other side of the room. The hubs has his own little office - an armoire with a pull out desk I scored on Craigslist, which I refinished myself into \u0026nbsp;a semi-gloss white. My favorite furniture item has to be the vintage mid century modern marble coffee table, which was another Craigslist score. The items we splurged on were the sofas, which we had custom made. They are over-sized, extra deep, and down-filled - perfect for lounging, reading a book, and watching movies. We all fit comfortably in them, with room to spare. I have to admit - if it was only up to me, the style wouldn't have been my first choice. The hubs had a long list of wants so the quest for the perfect sofa took over 2 years. They've held up so well since we got them - we picked a fabric that repels stains and is a breeze to keep clean. I designed the cushion covers with hidden zippers so they can easily be washed. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nDecorative objects that my husband isn't necessarily fond of, I reserve for my own personal space (i.e.\u0026nbsp;my office, closet, or side of the bed), and vice\u0026nbsp;versa. I like creative storage solutions to keep clutter at bay. The vintage coffee table has a clever shelf on the bottom, where we hide remote controls. Natalie's books and toys are stowed away under the TV console, and the hubby's desk can be tucked away and closed off when not in use. The only item I am hoping to change soon is our rug! We've had it since Natalie was born, and I refuse to get anything new because it just hides stains so well. The hunt for the perfect stain-proof, kid-proof rug is still under way..\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nDesigning personal spaces is always a challenge.\u0026nbsp;When you need to combine different personalities and wants, it can get downright messy. What I like to do first is define the purpose of the area.

My apologies, I have clearly been on a little hiatus due to so many things in the works over here. Today I am putting my blogger hat back on for a few minutes and dusting off the cobwebs because I just have to share this gem with you, which was featured on \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.stylemepretty.com\/2013\/04\/11\/palo-alto-wedding-from-therese-jacinto-design-rizza-san-agustin\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EStyle Me Pretty\u003C\/a\u003E today! My little sister got married last fall. It was the most intimate and love-filled wedding I have been a part of and worked on. I was planner, designer, and big sister - so you can only imagine how much more enthusiastic I was throughout the whole process.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nThis was a simple affair that felt like an intimate dinner party with family and close friends. \u0026nbsp;The first thing Stef and Shardul told me me was how they wanted the ceremony and reception to reflect both their personalities and backgrounds. They wanted it to be modern, understated, and elegant. \u0026nbsp;We came up with an overall theme that blended both Filipino and Indian details into the decor. In both cultures, more is typically...more. \"Restrained elegance\" is what I kept in the back of my head the whole time. For the color palette, we went with nude, gold, and burgundy - which worked perfectly for the fall and looked stunning, sophisticated, and oh-so-romantic. Travel and a long distance relationship was a big part of their relationship, so we added touches of a travel theme into the details with a thrifted vintage trunk and a gold airplane cake topper. \u0026nbsp;Everything came together in a span of two months, and I'm proud to say this was a huge bargain wedding. We splurged on what mattered (food, photography, furniture rentals, the most gorgeous red peonies for the bride's bouquet) and saved on what we could (decor, favors, flowers for the centerpieces). The venue, Gamble Gardens - was an amazing discovery. It was the perfect setting that had a great combination of indoor and outdoor spaces, gardens, and classic architecture - all for a steal.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nMy sister was radiant - literally glowing from the inside out, and of course - as calm as could be. I was a wreck. Not because of prep chaos - it was such an emotional day for everyone, and it just hit me when I gave her that last hug before my dad walked her down the aisle. The ceremony was held in the middle of a pathway surrounded by lush greens- it felt like we were in a secret garden! Cocktails then dinner followed with a casual buffet of both Filipino and Indian Cuisine. We dined under the stars and enjoyed hours of laughter and conversation surrounded by candlelight.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;

It kicked off the entire look and feel of everything. I designed a main invite and included a little \"pocket guide\" with helpful information (what to bring, what to wear, how to get there, etc.). For a modern and fresh twist, we went with neon colors mixed with neutrals.

These are my first features in highly celebrated online publications, and I cannot express how it makes me feel. I started this business only two years ago, with nothing more than a dream and a desire to put my creative juices to good use. It was not easy, I cannot lie. I basically dove in with no clue, no money (no joke), no staff, and not one contact in the industry. All I had were ideas, my education, and the most supportive and loving family and set of friends anyone could ever ask for. I was (still am) a very new stay-at-home mom (to the sweetest and most adorable baby girl), so alongside learning how to get a business started, I was also learning how to be a parent. My days were filled with diapers and deadlines. More often than not, each day was\/is a struggle and involved a lot of poop (more from dealing with people and situations than from actual diapers). \u0026nbsp;Can't tell you how much blood, sweat, and tears goes into each of my projects.

Instead of a traditional \"shower\", they wanted to host their own fun backyard bash to celebrate their upcoming arrival. It was a casual and intimate get-together with friends and family. I designed invitations, print goods, florals, and a guestbook dessert station. We wanted a theme that was gender neutral, chic, and not overly cutesy. What better way to celebrate the upcoming arrival of twins than with a theme that evokes that feeling of receiving something special? Hence, \"Special Delivery\"!

For most of us that already have our hands full, this time of the year can be stressful and extremely exhausting. A lot of work goes into planning and prepping for a dinner party. More often than not, we fore go a lot of little details in order to save time and money.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003EI'm a big fan of budgets, keeping costs down, and finding ways to get things done faster and more efficiently. I also believe though, that these are not valid reasons for not being able to put a little something special into an event - be it the smallest intimate dinner date for two or a cocktail party for a large crowd.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003EIf you are running short on time, or have no room in your budget - pick one element that you can easily pour a few minutes into. In my case most of the time, this ends up being the centerpiece or table decor. It sets the tone, creates conversation, and makes the dinner table more inviting. While I love flowers, they are not the end-all and be-all of table decor.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003EFor a recent pre-thanksgiving get-together with friends, I simply rounded up items I already owned to dress up the dining table. I used leftover fabric as a table runner and lined up some silvered and mercury vases on top. With no time or budget for fresh flowers (not to mention the host is deathly allergic to them), I added some texture and color using inexpensive moss covered rocks and pine cones. For some sparkle, I lined the tables and mantle with a lot of candles set in glass hurricanes.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjoIXPNofaZukyzAzd3XE6ucHGgkGF1KE1E-NeY0VmnvxkkjQKUR2MprC4bNTYA8Nh9OFjEMe0PHx2POXEb_4Hbxz03p7zJaQwjjpGll9xR70Sr-Rxq1pfW_KUA3-rUVlkslv8Sstu0SqVS\/s1600\/IMG_0938.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em;

There's nothing like receiving something that was wonderfully put together - where the presentation is just as lovely as what's inside. The extra details count and make the recipient feel extra special. Ever since I was little, I've been enamored with boxes, bows, ties, bags, wrappers, and adornments. I would take on the challenge of designing and wrapping all of my mom's holiday presents - from her baked goodies to friends to corporate give-aways for the family business.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003EWhen a client recently asked me to design a couple of welcome gifts for friends, I was over the moon excited to come up with something fun, modern, and thoughtful. She was planning to host a few of her closest friends over at her San Francisco vacation home \u0026nbsp;and wanted to greet them with personalized gift bags. We came up with \"Warm Welcome\" kits filled with local heart-warming SF goodies : chocolate tea, sea salt and turbinado sugar covered almonds, and a pair of \"conversation\" chalkboard mugs...all perfect for the chilly fall weather. I kept things clean and simple - using a shiny white flip-top box (which folds flat for travel), created custom SF-inspired tags and cards, sketched some golden gates on the mugs, and wrapped it all up with a simple black \u0026nbsp;grosgrain ribbon.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;

I can provide you with a list of materials and a general idea, but the steps are pretty hard for me to explain (sorry, I'm just really horrible at giving instructions, period.).

I just love this time of the year. I look forward to warming up\u0026nbsp;with some hot chocolate and wrapping myself up in a large cozy sweater all year long. The colors of the season are so delicious! Here's a little sneak peek into a small flower order for a fall wedding. I created some modern\/rustic petite chalkboard table number vase arrangements and bouquets. Warm tones of chocolate, amber, peach \u0026amp; gray blended beautifully together. I used chocolate cymbidium orchids, chocolate cosmos, soft peach carnations, burnt orange mums, wax flower and calla lily.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;

My little princess' play space is coming along (finally!) with a couple of DIY projects here and there. After two years of neglect, we are slowly transitioning her \"nursery\" into a playroom. The room was never finished since she arrived a bit too early and then we found that having her sleep with us was more practical. Eventually the nursery became a storage room\/walk-in closet and the family's\u0026nbsp;favorite dumping ground. I completely lost it one day when I came home and just couldn't stand all the toys cluttered around our house. Natalie needed her own little nook, where she could learn how to put all her things away.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003EA few things about the space:\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E1.

The entire first floor has been replaced with light hard wood - however due to time and budgetary constraints, we decided to take on the second floor slowly. Hence, the green carpets.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003EI'm sure it was amazing back in the day - but \u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003EI wasn't feeling it. After a long and hard decision, we decided to just give the carpet in this room a \u0026nbsp;good deep cleaning and basically live with it till we could move along with renovation plans. Well here's a perfect example of making lemonade when life gives you lemons - or should I say making \"grass\" when life gives you green carpets! The room came together over time and slowly turned into a little vintage + contemporary \"garden\"- inspired play space. Before Natalie was born, I had painted the walls this lovely soft gray hue and had already sewed and installed the yellow drapes. About a year and a half ago, I stumbled upon a wonderful wall decal kit in the clearance bin at Target - SOLD. It took me five minutes to compose a \"scene\" and stick 'em all up. It's amazing what $5 can do to a room- and to green carpet! It's not just green anymore, now it's \"grass\". The color has really grown on me (pun intended). I actually love how it gives the perfect pop of color and pairs really well with the room's muted scheme. Lesson learned: work the challenge instead of eliminating it - almost anything can work given the right treatment.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; color: black; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E2.

A year ago today, this blog was born. I didn't realize it then, but it was the start of something wonderful. Aside from it being a great marketing tool for the studio, it was the perfect outlet. \u0026nbsp;I needed a little spot in my crazy world where I could go all-out and talk about my ideas and projects as well as share anything beautiful and inspirational.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003EWhat I didn't realize then was that this little blog would end up being the perfect classroom. I can't tell you how much I've learned. It's challenged me and kept me on my toes. Technically speaking - I've taught myself basic html, photography, and I've kept myself up to date with all the design programs. Throughout the year I set up shoots for this blog that are somewhat like \"exercises\" in design and prove to be great practice in terms of styling and exploring beyond what's comfortable. It's also my personal \"progress report\"- where I can view what areas in my projects could be improved. Not to mention - I've brushed up on grammar and spelling.

Her bouquet consists of Balsa wood flowers with fresh dusty miller. The wood is eco-friendly and a lovely rustic element. It contrasts the soft ruffly lace, and at the same time plays up the dainty and feminine aspect of it. To add a vintage glam look, a few balsa buds were painted gold - a little touch inspired by the dress' gilded details.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 20px;\"\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"line-height: 16px;\"\u003EWe had no boundaries with regards to creating our designs, so I went a bit out of the box and didn't use all-fresh flowers. Instead I used fresh greens of dusty miller and balsa wood flowers, which can be reused and kept as a little wedding keepsake.

That one staple that's classic, elegant, and oh-so flattering? \u0026nbsp;Well there's also a wedding version to an LBD- a CBW wedding (classic black and white wedding). It can be modern, traditional, eclectic - you name it. It will always be a favorite color scheme because it can be bold and masculine and at the same time, feminine and chic. Think of that timeless Black and White movie that's filled with so much character- where the cinematography and production elements come together so well to tell a story that you don't even know or care what color of dress the leading lady is wearing. You're more than satisfied with the wonderful storyline and absorbing every detail that was so cleverly executed.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003EYou would think that a wedding based on two of the most simple or basic colors would be the easiest to design - well it's actually the most difficult. If not done right - it can look dull and uninviting (I've seen downright scary weddings in black and white). Understandably, most people are also not bold enough to dip into the BW scheme because they have a fear of it being \"washed out\". In terms of the blooms\u0026nbsp;- white flowers bruise so easily, thus making them harder to work with. We also have to order a lot more extra bunches of flowers because there are more \"unusable\" blooms, thus increasing costs and changing floral orders into \"blush\" or \"butter\" hues, which basically means you're really not having a CBW wedding.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003EWhen my lovely couple hired me to design their flowers, style their reception venue, and create their custom print goods - I was over the moon excited. Not only are they such a sweet pair - they were a dream to work with (Not playing favorites! I've been lucky- all my couples have been amazing!). Their personal styles really came through and was evident in all the details we decided on. They're really one good-looking, stylish couple! They had a vision of a vintage-inspired black and white wedding in a traditional formal ballroom setting. One of the first words they used to describe what they wanted was simple and elegant. I wanted to take simple and turn it into \u003Ci\u003ESimply Sublime.\u003C\/i\u003E Black and white immediately translates as modern, clean and pretty edgy most of the time.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003EMy goal was to create their CBW wedding that would be elegant, timeless, and chic. I had to create boundaries and stay away from anything too minimalist or too ornate. \u0026nbsp;Balance was the key and a lot of little details were extremely important. Black is already a bold statement, so we had to complement it with elements that would result in something romantic. Gold Chiavari chairs against the black linens added \"sparkle\" to the table without literally \"sparkling\", if you know what I mean. Candles created dramatic mood lighting, which bounced off the s\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003Eilvered antique vases and mirrors. They added that extra layer of \"light\" and cast off gorgeous shadows.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;For that romantic, soft, and lush look- the flowers were done in ivory accented with hints of seafoam arranged in large pillowy bunches set on silvered vases. The ivory arrangements offset the black and somehow \"lifted\" the room (like a \"cloud effect\") and made everything dreamy. We sized the centerpieces to be substantial enough to fill up the space, yet not too over-the-top, alternating between medium-sized single arrangements and more petite clusters.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003EThe vintage feel came through in small doses - through the print goods, the vases of the floral arrangements, the checkered dance floor, accessories, etc. There were little touches everywhere that gave off a hint of old-world glamour.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003EPieces of the couples heritage and personalities were injected into the wedding - from the food choices to the entertainment (fun Mariachi band!), to their outfits.
