As the rain falls here in CA leading up to the weekend, I’m hoping for a cozy (read: keep raining, CA!) next couple of days. Continue reading

Button Letter Art
When my good friends found out they were pregnant, I was ecstatic for them. Knowing this journey would be so special and meaningful, I wanted their baby shower gift to be special as well. Continue reading
Beautiful Big Sur Stay
Remember that heavenly weekend I spent in Big Sur I mentioned recently? I wanted to share the special details of the weekend through photos. This was our second stay at this delightful gem of a ‘treehouse’ perched amongst redwoods, coastal oaks, assorted gardens, sunshine and the ocean in the distance. Continue reading
Tiny Kitchen ReModel
Everyone loves a good facelift to a much-needed room or area. I probably like them a little too much – my brain is always working on ‘what’s next’ when it comes to design and decor. I feel satisfied for a bit, and then it’s time to make more changes and improvements. I have already shared this same house’s Tiny Bathroom ReModel and now it’s time to share the kitchen… Continue reading
Little Christmas Details
Hello Darlings! Last time I wrote was post-Thanksgiving…Oopsy. Since then I have come and gone to Tulum, Mexico, which was perfect and I will post about it soon. But since Christmas is RIGHT around the corner, I thought I would share some Christmas touches around my house as well as my cards I decided to do this year. Continue reading
Thanksgiving Recap
Hi Guys! I hope everyone had an amazing, yummy, cozy Thanksgiving with family and friends. I hosted this year – my first one ever! If I must say, it was quite the success. From the decor, the table layout, to the drinks and delicious dishes, Thanksgiving was what you could ever ask for in a holiday. Continue reading
String Art
String Art is becoming more and more prevalent in décor. From coffee shops, consignment stores and Free People storefronts, the string art trend is growing. Actually, one of my very first posts here on Bloom and Birch was a DIY String Art project – one of my faves to this day. My friend recently had a baby and they wanted to wait until birth for the gender reveal. Since I wasn’t able to give them an entirely (gender) personal baby shower gift, after they birthed their angel boy, Levi – I went to work to create this string art nameplate for the little man! String art is actually quite easy if you have the necessary tools, time and patience!
Handmade Ornaments
‘Tis the Season! Although I love it, I cannot believe it’s already here. The second half of this year has flown by, I tell ya. So, now that we are almost to December, why don’t you say we get a head start on some Christmas Crafts!
I was inspired to make these ornaments from some that I found at a local gift shop. These ornaments were quite festive but in a non-traditional, bohemian-esque way – just my style. They stole my little heart and inspired me like no other! Here’s the How-To… Continue reading
Tiny Bathroom Re-Mod
Once upon a time, I lived in the smallest, actually, most narrow bathroom that you may ever see. To clarify, I did not live in the bathroom…I lived in the house that housed the bathroom. This tiny, little, nook was in desperate desire for some TLC. Without hesitation, I thunk up an idea, bought some paint, and went to town. Of course, there was more to it than just paint…
Pumpkin Project
I’m a sucker for All October Goodies but especially the miniature pumpkins. They’re perfect for easy decorations, detailed corners, porches, and projects! We used to paint faces on these little orange pumpkins as a way of decorating them. Now, pumpkin decorating and carving, for that matter, have reached new levels. For my mini-pumpkins project this year, I purchased a variety of mini pumpkins and blitzed them out… Continue reading
