About

 

Hello, my name is Nina

I’m a Hawaii girl living in San Diego with my husband John, 2 young boys, and Goldendoodle Pippa.

Sharing historic homes, my staging and design projects, and a little weekend fun.

I hope this blog inspires you to explore new places, build your dream and learn a little something. Not much beats Sundays’s in San Diego.

Loving this home. I’m a sucker for symmetry- as seen in these matching couches. Personally I would love to incorporate this design more into my personal home. Gonna wait til the babies are older before making the leap to new couches. Whats I&rs
For real. Mom life is a wild ride. Happy Sunday ☀️ from my wild house 🏠
Up before the sun. I sure love a morning fire 🔥 with the little 👶baby while the rest of the house 🏡 sleeps. Making the most of a teething baby and early wake ups.
