cookbook inspiration


{ What's Gaby Cooking }


{ Cravings: Hungry for More }

I recently picked up these two cookbooks and am so excited to dive in and start trying new recipes. I find the Fall weather brings a desire to hunker down and cozy up at home. Chrissy Teigen has some Thai comfort food that looks amazing and Gaby keeps things Californian inspired with fresh and simple dishes. I'll report back with favorites recipes!

it's all coming together

Henderson Armchair from Wayfair We took possession of the new house on August 17th, so we're just over two months in, and considering that short amount of time that we've been in it (and the fact we're working full time) the house is looking pretty good. Slowly but surely, the rooms are coming together. We're waiting on a few pieces of furniture we've ordered and working at getting artwork placed and hung.  We ordered our new sectional in between the purchase and closing, and luckily it was delivered the Saturday morning of our move. Having our main couch in the space has helped it feel put together from day one. We painted, got new bar stools and our gorgeous new dining table was delivered a few weeks back, which is a key piece in the open concept space. Our coffee table is on order and we're left hunting for two remaining pieces for the living space on the main floor - a rug and a chair.  We've designed the space to feel bright and light, with warm wood t

those festive scents

One of my favorite parts of the holidays is filling our home with the smell of fresh evergreen. With the start of the cold weather, I swap out the fall scents for pine and cedar and our house instantly transforms into a cozy wooded forest. Candles are my go-to for scenting a space, which is great for your main living space where you spend most of your time but you need some options for unattended spaces as well. Here are a few of my favorites for getting you in the mood with festive, foresty scents.   { Hollow Tree candles } Every. single. scent from this Canadian west coast candle company is amazing. Their scents are earthy and have a great depth - plus the jar and packaging is spot on.  { Illume reed diffuser } This winter white is a really nice mellow, warm scent. It's not too sweet but still feels festive. (Tip, switch around a few of the reeds every few days or so, it helps with throwing the scent) { Tree Scents diffuser blend } The diffuser essential oil blends are great be
