Earlier this year, I found out that I’d be leaving San Francisco – a city near and dear to my heart – for the sunshine and palm trees of Los Angeles. While my husband and I were apprehensive about the change, the fear of a new city was overshadowed by the chance for a clean slate and fresh opportunities. While we miss the location of our tiny San Francisco apartment, we are grateful to have more space. Plus, we have really enjoyed decorating the new space! (The craftsman home is a far cry from the crumbling Victorian we lived in before!)
In the Fall Entertaining issue, I welcomed Rue into our new home. Anyone who has moved knows that it can take months to feel settled. While some areas of the home are still progressing (like my office and the living room), the West Elm-inspired dining room stands at the ready for dinner parties. Today, I’m giving you a closer look of the space AND offering up my at-home entertaining tips. Because if you’re like me and spend a LOT of time decorating your home, it’s okay if you don’t want to leave…
