Nursery!

We are just eleven days away from our due date (!) so before life upends I wanted to share a few nursery photos, as it is today. I'm sure it'll shift and change a bit more in the coming weeks, but here we are. Remember what this room looked like when we bought the house? Click here - yikes! Also the hallway - yikes again! I'm slightly conflicted by a few things in the room (the mobile, the constant glare on the ABC picture, some of the clutter) but I'll work it out. :-) I'm curious to see how things change once it's all put to good use by our lil bunny. The room gets great light and feels really good to be in. A few things to point out: the knit blankets on the chair were all handmade - the top two by her great-great-grandmother (for me as a baby) and the others by friends of mine. That book, Sohntage (Sunday in German) is from Tocco's sister and is the cutest. It's a picture book of a dad and his kid as they go about their day together and the illustrations slay me. I might love it even more than Tocco. Our friend Joanna gave the baby a Grumpy Cat, which I think is so funny. She won't always be happy with us so she can carry that cat around and then we'll know. We got these cute bunnies and awesome clothes from my mom and sister and I cannot wait to get this baby born to dress her up in them all. The little hummingbird hanging on the tree represents my dad and T's mom, always with her. So many of the other items are gifts from friends, so it's all pretty amazing and we are so blown away by everyone's love and we are so excited. See you soon, baby!

Pinterest / Airbnb lobby

Hey-o! I realized I never shared these. They're the lobby for the new (second) space for Pinterest's HQ, also shared with Airbnb. Lucky ducks. It's so gorgeous in there! I may work from home there one day, or work from lobby. WFL ; )

Pretty things...from the weekend.

After gushing over their Instagram and owner blogs and artwork for a while I finally made a stop at General Store in mellow, sea salty Outer Sunset- holy moly. That's a beautiful shop, like, I'll take everything, backyard too. (So many links to link to, but it cannot be helped, it's such gorgeous stuff). And revisiting Flora Grubb to get inspired all over again by palm trees and succulents for the garden makeover T and I are tackling (and to plan imaginary super expensive parties!). But the very best part was spending the day with my friend Morgan who is so rad, and whose blog Pandahead is one of my very favorite sources of inspiration, recipes, photography, style, humor and (so much) more. It's also just a damn good read. So check it out. So great to see you lady!! Too bad we are on opposite coasts because I want to hang way more, but hooray for social media. Sunday was a great day too, as T and I went to a (twins!) baby shower for our good friends Laura and Damien. We are totally bummed that they are moving to Portland in a few days but so excited for them and their new adventures. They were among our first friends out here and are now a very good excuse for a road trip to Oregon...
