Married on the 5th of July

My Grandfathers boat, The Bufflehead

This weekend marks the one year anniversary for 2e and I. Wow, a year so soon. I will dedicate an entire post to what these past 12 months have brought us and for now just wish you all a happy 4th of July! Here's what you may have missed if your week was as full as mine;

Balustrade and Bitters launches with a very 1stDibs layout and some good content

Vena Cava khaki available at the GAP for a limited time.

Watermelon Basil Margaritas. I die.

We are staying here in town but my loyal, loving husband has some very special things in the works. Can't wait to get the party started (with some of those margaritas)!

Viva!

Featured Items of the Week

The bar cart had a long journey to get where he is today (which is actually already at a clients home) but the transformation was astounding!


This before photo was taken with a phone so the quality isn't helping its case but it truly was in a sad state of affairs. Coated in layers of thick white paint and with only one working wheel it was a little shabby chic cozy cottage.


So you can imagine my surprise when our re-finisher peeled off the paint to reveal this fine young thang. A combination of brass and steel and working wheels! We also replaced the glass shelves with mirror to give it some sparkle and depth.


All in all an amazing change and a fun, unique conversation piece for a home or office bar.

Lil' Peanut

How sweet is this birth announcement from Cordova Design?!

Brides to be should check out her special packages too!!!

Summer

Summer has officially arrived.




Between work, the new pup, evenings with friends, and mornings to myself posting has been a bit lost this week. I would love a long vacation in an old beach cottage with a fully stocked bar and a full house of friends. Doesn't that sound divine?

Santee Alley score.

This weekend was mellow as planned and perfect as pie. Sunday afternoon we met Alex and Heather at Bottega Louie (so good) for food and conversation and followed up our meal with a walk down Santee Alley, the Canal St of LA.

RIP Ed, Farrah, and The King of Pop!

Last weekend we partied it up at the Chateau Marmont and went to a mozzarella making party at Marvimon. This weekend we are probably going to be homebodies and try to relax our sore muscles from all the moving at the store. What are you guys going to do? Any Michael Jackson dance parties in the works?
