The Avocado Ranch Living Room
The Estate of Things

2M ago
We bought the Avocado Ranch at the very bitter end of a tumultuous 2020. After a few years of living life in this space, the living room has fully assumed its personality. For now! Like so many others, I was bit by the Mario Bellini Camaleonda bug, though I like to think it was before I realized it was fated to “it-girl” sofa status. Don’t tell my husband, but I’m already dreaming up the next iteration of this room. It wouldn’t be me if I weren’t trying to angle for a new sofa, or a new identity. Of course, we’ll let the room stay as it is for a while if only to make brain space for the rest ..read more

After the big addition of two more bedrooms to the house by the beach, we got the itch to keep the construction vibes rollin’ and go ahead and revamp this tired old teal kitchen. The Kitchen Before We are undergoing a full gut renovation, receiving a new layout, new cabinetry, countertops and all appliances, new lighting and a new dining table. We even got a new door and new windows, so the before to after transformation shall be radical. Eventually. In the interim, I’ve been steadily collecting inspiration for the design.

Cali Chalet – Juje Room Before and After

If I were a professional blogger lady I’d call this a reveal and my photos would be perfectly styled and I’d probably link to the rad lady that created the lightroom presets I used to make my photos sing. But, I’m just trying to keep my head above water while I do all the things I wanna do, and this room isn’t even really done. So today I just want to share the progress…. what we’re looking like without it having to be perfect. (And also, I don’t use presets on my phone cause I’m just not there yet, so I still photoshop my images to make them web ready. Is this what it is like to be 40?) Inse ..read more

Just switch it maybe a little bit? We’ll call it leaving on a high note. In spite of the wild ride of 2020, we’ve had a great year in revenue. You stayed home and you wanted that home to feel homier than ever and we are so thrilled that SHOP TEOT could be a resource for your home during this crappy year. And for me personally… what a crappy year it has been.   So, it is time to take another direction.  Bigger? Better? Stronger & Leaner? Less Stressed!??? It will be really tough to summarize the events and thoughts that have led Sarah and I to this huge announcement for our ..read more

Staging Greenbriar: A Shoppable Home Tour

Recently Sarah had the pleasure of staging a home in nearby Woodlake. Greenbriar, a 90’s contemporary home, was to hit the market soon. We found it to be in need of, not a full renovation, but definitely a little TLC, a refresh!  Here is a look at where we started. Greenbriar, before Sarah got her hands on it. The dark and heavy built-ins are typical in residences from this era. With a fresh coat of Benjamin Moore Sheep’s Wool over the stained wood, some new light fixtures, and a few household goods too, Greenbriar got the care it needed and is ready to be snatched up by a ..read more

2021 Interior Design Trends

I want you to know that we love trend spotting. It’s one of the great joys of being an Interior Design Enthusiast. Style by Sarah of TEOT, photography by Rachel Garrison Sarah and I are both particularly good at it and frankly we were putting our bet on that when we took this whole blog endeavor to the next level and opened up our Retail Shop in Southern Pines, NC. In that experience, the interesting thing that we have found, is that having your finger on the pulse of what is next in interior design, doesn’t always mean you get to sell what you see coming down the pipeline. Quite the opposit ..read more

Lovin Lavender Decor Lately

Earlier in the year Sarah and I got a chance to be together in real life, and shop the scene here in LA for a MART restock. While she was here we had a chat about lavender decor. She was feeling it and we picked up a number of pieces for SHOP TEOT from a lovely purple striped throw to a number of African baskets featuring the color. It’s my favorite color and represents the spiritual gypsy lovin side of me. Below is our little roundup of purples that we have been pinning! We’ll be looking to these for inspiration in our own spaces. How about you? photo by Jonas Ingerstedt | styling by&nbs ..read more

Custom Furniture with Buildlane

Have you ever considered having a custom piece of sofa created just for you? It can be a daunting proposition, even for well connected designers in makers markets like South Los Angeles or in the heart of American made furniture in North Carolina. Through SHOP TEOT, I have come to know this well. In fact I’ve been delighted to get a peek behind the scenes of the mysterious manufacturing furniture scene in both LA and in NC, where TEOT works with makers on its own custom furniture pieces. As it turns out, the mystery is not as great as it appears from the outside. The truth: it is well hidden ..read more

Design by Robert Stilin Recently, as I look at the blank walls of our mountain house project and as I consider the future of our newly expanded home here by the beach, I have been contemplating how to intentionally build on our art collection in a meaningful way. Heffe and I made the decision earlier this year to use Valentine’s Day as our excuse to buy art for our life together. We started with a modest trio of black and whites. A limited print lithograph from 20×200 alongside two pieces I hand selected while in Mexico City. Within the walls of this blog I’ve said it a million times, but I’ll ..read more
