Casa Joshua Tree

February 13, 2016/ Whitney Leigh Morris

I visited Casa Joshua Tree again in early February. It was incredible to see all the progress that Lindsay has made on her home renovation.

My favorite recent addition to the space is the Hygge & West wallpaper by Justna Blakeney that we got for her master bathroom. It looks 😍!!!

Lindsay and I had the perfect mini-vacation together-- we worked on some creative projects, snapped tons of pix, hiked through the desert, ate at La Copine Kitchen and Crossroads, and got our live music fix at Pappy and Harriet's.

Saturday errands in the company car. 🐶🌸🐶 #StubsandSoph #wlmbike @virtuebike

Current view. 🐶🐶 I'm glad to be spending a weekend here at home with these two for the first time in several weeks. (And tomorrow is @adamwinkleman's birthday, which makes it even better.) Happy Friday, everyone. ✨ #TheTinyCanalCottage #StubsandSoph

Tiny house truth: since the bed is pretty much the largest surface available, it basically gets used for everything. Lately it's been West's favorite play space. (And where West goes, his wonderful siblings sweetly follow.) 🐶🐶👶🏻 #TheTinyCanalCottage #StubsandSoph

I can't believe it, but we are already planning to update the lil' nursery (formerly our bedroom closet) to keep up with West's growth and needs. How have nearly 8 months gone by? #TheTinyCanalCottage

It's the 1 year anniversary of our lil' wedding at our tiny home! The day we got married, Adam (@adamwinkleman) and I were midway through our pregnancy with baby West. This has been, by far, the happiest year of my life. Our family, business, and relationship have all grown significantly. Thank you for being here with us.

Most times when we leave our cottage, I pretty much can't wait to get back home again. This trip, however, will definitely be an exception. @marriotthotels @createcultivate #createcultivatepopup #CCxMarriott #travelbrilliantly

It's been quite the day-- nothing went as planned. But these two always cheer me up. 🐶💛🐶#StubsandSoph #adoptdontshop

This was my first Mother's Day with our son, West. I thought about my parents all day. They've shown me endless love and support, and they taught me that relationships and experiences are what matter in this life-- not stuff. Mom, I love you. Baby West and I are so lucky to have you in our lives. #TheTinyCanalCottage

Story time on the lil' stoop. 📚👶🏻🌿 #TheTinyCanalCottage

Walked by a massive sea of bougainvillea today-- there's a 2-story home under there! 🌸 With colors like this, who needs a filter?
