My mornings are pretty routine. Alarm goes off, press snooze for ten more minutes. Once my second annoying alarm sounds go off, I grab the phone and scroll through emails, followed by Instagram, Facebook, and occasionally Twitter (mainly for any breaking news overnight).

I love hearing names that I don’t instantly recognize, it means that I am about to get inspired (or un-inspired) by someone new. Daniel C.

Jeffrey Alan Marks is a Los Angeles based interior designer who I have been following on Instagram for quite some time, and also seen on Bravo’s Million Dollar Decorators. His style encompasses an effortless California lifestyle, with exquisite attention to timeless details.

The Potted Boxwood is back! After a much needed break in Florida, I am ready to share more design fabulousness with all of you!  My break was full of warm weather and sleeping in, and soaking up all that the sunshine state has to offer. It is rare to find true Floridians.

Sorry for the lack of posts. With the busy time of the season and family visits, there is just not enough hours in the day (I am sure you feel the same!). I am so grateful to all of my fantastic followers for coming back day after day. I am finally ready for a relaxing,
