Read MoreIt's been a doozy of a week, right!?! Let's take a minute to dial it back and savor something small.....to the HOME, where it's up to us to inspire and cultivate within our own family walls. Castle, condo, teepee, or tract home, they're really all the same. Home is where you plant your roots! We're on a constant quest to find what makes your home uniquely YOU. This week, we revisit Sarah Perez of Electric Sun Creatives handmade wall-hangings and little Harper in their charming Sacramento loft. She creates a lovely mix of a rural-style interior within the modern work/live space...click for the tour!
Read MoreHere at PS, there's really nothing that tickles our fancy more than the charm of a creative, humble abode. This week, we meet California designer and stylist, Kaila and her new little Sloane in the Elmhurst neighborhood of Sacramento. A recent Petaluma-transplant, Kaila brings a kind of cool coastal minimalism to the house. There's a quiet loveliness in the moments of pause and simple decor, and our hearts swell with her little Waldorf nursery. Instagram and this ever-ebbing circle of community and motherhood brought us together and birthed a new friendship. Beth herself snapped photos on an afternoon visit.

Read MoreAs you know, we're tickled by this idea of the ever-expanding circle of motherhood and friendship here at PS, and sometimes we can't even quite pinpoint how and where we meet some of our new friends (especially with the explore feature rabbit hole and webbed algorithms of Instagram), but find a thrill and gratitude in knowing our subjects and readers are all connected! The serendipities are certainly the thread here and the pulse of our organic unfolding. On that note, we stumbled upon San Francisco mama Audrey Bodisco's feed and fell in love with her California ease. We felt like one of us knew her?! We ogled over her adorable baby boy, River and the snapshots of her home's relaxed and rustic minimalism. After finding our way to her online shop, Industry & Alchemy, we couldn't help but notice the series of watercolors she created. The modern, tranquil works are gorgeous...we had to ask more.
