Lil' garden on Architectural Digest
Our lil' garden is on the homepage of Architectural Digest today:
"You don’t need an inexhaustible amount of acreage to achieve the home garden you’ve always dreamed of. Limited as their square footage may be, compact outdoor areas can be every bit as aesthetically pleasing as their sprawling counterparts. They also benefit from a creative use of space. After all, they can sprout up anywhere—on a stoop, in a narrow passage between buildings, in a seemingly nonexistent backyard—and often employ an unexpected use of materials and plantings. The trick is to impart lushness with an abundance of flowering blooms and a thicket of greenery. Here, we round up eight small gardens, from a minimalist rooftop gathering spot to a verdant alley, to admire—or inspire—your next outdoor project. They certainly prove that what petite plots lack in size they can more than make up for in style." - JENNIFER FERNANDEZ
Thanks, AD!

Fall Hosting at the Cottage with One Kings Lane
It's becoming evident that autumn is just around the corner-- even in sunny SoCal. Personally I can't wait. Not only am I excited about the cooler air and softer light, but it means Adam and I are getting VERY close to finally meeting our son (who is due in early October)!
Recently I had the joy of celebrating the change of seasons with One Kings Lane here at home. We hosted a mini-gathering throughout the outdoor sections of the Cottage, and we toasted (mocktails, of course!) to the release of their new magazine, "Small Space Style" (which features our tiny home in a multi-page spread).
Click here to view the full story, "Entertaining for a Crowd in a Space Made for Two." And follow @onekingslane on Instagram today to see behind-the-scenes IG "Stories" from the event! (Additional photos below.)
Mocktail recipe by Rachel Mae Furman
We served an array of appetizers from Urban Palate, including roasted brussels-sprout salad, parsnip pomme frites, and Pink Lady apple bruschetta (my personal favorite). While I enjoyed homemade Pear and Rosemary Spritz Mocktails with the other pregnant guests, we also served "Sexy Rosé" from The Butcher's Daughter.

We were surprised and delighted to discover that our Cottage was recently featured on Architectural Digest! (Click here to view.)

Tiny Cottage Wedding Video & Refinery29 Story
Back in May, Adam and I got married here at our tiny cottage. We've lived together in this home for 5+ years, and knew it would be the perfect setting for our mini-wedding.
View my full wedding post here.
Today, I'm excited to share a portion of our wedding video with you (below), along with Refinery29's Real Wedding coverage of our "big" day.

Our wedding was so relaxed, simple and delightful, which I think is evident from this light-hearted and personal footage. (Also evident is the fact that I spent the majority of our ceremony trying to not cry my face off.) Heart-felt shout-out to the people and businesses who helped us create our perfect lil' wedding day-- particularly TaskRabbit, lensman Jean Marc Cloutier, our dear friend + officiant Nell, and our generous and loving families.

Apartment Therapy: Design Evolution
Thank you, Apartment Therapy, for featuring our tiny porch today! It was a delightful surprise to see a few of our looks from over the years on your site.
Small Office Space Feature on Domino
I was happy to see our cottage featured twice on Domino this morning! Both in a home tour, and again in a helpful round-up of small-space desk ideas.
This is one of our extra office set-ups, which I add to the bedroom & back stoop if we have an overnight guest staying in the main room of the house. We can comfortably fit 5 work stations inside our tiny home. You don't need to live large to live beautifully!
Discussing Venice & the Canals Neighborhood with Shinola
Check out my latest Venice guide via the Shinola blog! This wonderful company just opened a new store on Abbot Kinney (about a 10 minute walk from the Cottage), and we're delighted to welcome them to the neighborhood!
#LoveMyCity Venice with Shinola
Our friends at Shinola invited me to partake in their #LoveMyCity campaign in celebration of their new Venice location, which opens this April on Abbot Kinney Boulevard (just a 5 minute walk from the Cottage). Adam and I are both sincere fans of the brand, so I was delighted to join in. (And you know I love any excuse to share photos of our beloved 90291...)
Based in Detroit, Shinola is dedicated to producing American built products of the highest quality. I've tried their watches, leather goods, pet products, and their bikes. Everything I've used is beautiful and meticulously crafted.
Here are some recent pix that Adam and I snapped of our Shinola favorites around town (at the farmers market, canals, beach, and local businesses).
