Last Saturday, we attended the (free!) flower arranging class at Jayson Home & Garden that was part of Domino's Design District event. It was a blast AND we brought home a gorgeous (if we do say so ou...

Living on a bungalow-lined street now, we notice gardens more than ever. Yesterday we saw the most symmetrical, organized and patterned garden. Red flower, white flower, red flower, white flower. All ...
Some people have a knack for flower arranging. When we shot photos of Bill and Colleen's outdoor space we also snapped a couple pictures of their indoor arrangements, which have the same simple eleg...

We love finding flowers in a bathroom. It's a small luxury that makes it seem as though a home's residents have paid attention to every detail. This arrangement is from Christy and John's Logan Squa...
Air plants are neat. They don't need planting or weeding because they don't even need soil. The Magical Plant Garden, which includes four wild-looking botanicals, plays up the no-dirt advantage by s...
Sarah is sent us an email: "My best friend wants small grass planters as centerpieces at her wedding reception. She is hoping for 20 rectangular planters with green grass. Is there a place we can bu...
On a quick last minute trip to LA this past weekend, we finally got to try the bi-coastal frozen treat, Pinkberry, at the Abbot Kinney location. We thought it was absolutely delish, but our favorite p...
