cool vibes for warm days.
it's been record high temps for L.A. in june these past two weeks, and wouldn't you know it but my AC decides to go kaput on me. lucy's panting on the floor and i'm working practically naked whilst positioned directly in front of the fan. ugh. 108 temperatures last monday sent me in search of cool, calm and collected decor looks to ease my sweaty pain. all these spaces seem to bring down the heat whilst still looking good - cool vibes for warm summer days is what we need - lots of rattan, ikat and Moroccan prints -and neutrals for keeping the room in a calming comfort zone that is much needed right now. let's chill, shall we?

i have a thing for these mirrors.
every time i see one of these uniquely shaped mirrors i'm suddenly stopped dead in my tracks. there's just something so striking, and so feminine about the curve and shape of their pretty brass frames. i did a bit of research on them and i believe they are called an F.A.33 mirror, originally designed by the legendary designer Gio Ponti in 1933 for prominent lamp and glass manufacturer FontanaArte. i'm not certain, but i think they were then made popular throughout the 1940-50's because the mirrors i keep finding online are labeled as 'mid-century modern 1950's italian designed' mirror. i've also been seeing some similar, modern ones with a sleek, radius round corners, and those are quite lovely, too. i think the vintage version may be quite rare, because they are also quite pricey, so i'm going to keep my flea market eyes peeled for one of these pretties - i'd just love to own something so classically beautiful.

double tap that.
Ride by on the Amsterdam canals. ~ @curatedagency.
this is what we all do while, you know - we're waiting in line at the DMV, when we can't fall asleep (so guilty of this one!), waiting on the barista to serve up that latte - whenever and where ever we go we check our instagram feed for brilliance from those we follow. maybe excessively so. they might give us a good laugh or maybe they blow our minds with color and composition, but no matter what, they inspire us to get double-tapping our likes, our loves. here's what inspired me to double-tap this week, and a few folks you might like to follow if you don't already. warning: sometimes i like these as much for the clever or sentimental captions and the ideas they inspire, as i do the photos.

healdsburg shed.
Eat. Cook. Farm. Gather. Shop. All the incredible experiences you'll find at Healdsburg Shed in Sonoma's wine region. This is the top spot to visit when you're in the area. Located in the heart of downtown Healdsburg, it is a market, cafe and community space designed to bring us closer to the way we grow, prepare and share our food.
Opened in April 2013, Shed owners Cindy Daniel and Doug Lipton envisioned a space that embraced their passion for farming, the true taste of real food, and the pleasure that can be had from serving others. And they did just that in the most beautiful way. There is so much bounty to be found in the space (it's hard not to get excited and overwhelmed), but they've cleverly designed sections to help you navigate. In fact they won the James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurant Design in 2014.
Upon entering Shed you'll first see the Coffee Bar. Here you can order espresso drinks, pour over coffee, natural juices and a variety of house-made pastries, sandwiches and homemade ice cream.
The Eat section is full of locally grown, farm fresh flowers and produce, as well as a great variety of pantry essentials and artisan foods.
The Cafe section includes tables and a bar for sit-down meals. There is plenty of outdoor seating in the front and back of Shed, too.
The Cook area has a beautiful selection of housewares, including cooking and serving pieces, kitchen tools, linens and cookbooks.
At the heart and center is the larder. This is where all the Shed meals are prepared, both for in-house dining or packaged to-go.
The Farm section in the back is where you can pick up tools, supplies and books to help with your home gardening needs.
Head up the stairs and you'll find the Grange where events are hosted throughout the year. These include special meals, cooking demos and workshops, film screenings and discussions around food. Check out their lineup of upcoming events.
Shed is open Wednesday through Monday from 8:00 am – 9:00 pm and is closed on Tuesdays. They serve breakfast, lunch, evening meals and weekend brunch. You can walk-in or make a reservation on open table.

repurposed bohemian treasure.
one of the greatest things about previously-loved, secondhand goods is that you're giving new life to old things - and not just consuming new products for a change - which is nice to do when you get the chance. plus, vintage always has a better boho vibe. i cruised around chairish to hunt for bohemian modern treasure and hit the motherlode. you can find just about anything you're looking for there - from poufs and throws, to pillows, rattan, lighting and rugs. i favorited a bunch of my finds if you care to have a gander, and here's just a few vintage goods for getting that comfy, cozy bohemian vibe.
