San Francisco houses are so stinking cute. 🤗 Got to loosen up a little style-wise with this custom commission from Christmastime. The blossoming cherry tree and plants in the windows were a special request I was more than happy to accommodate. Also- porch dog. #jcroillo

What am I even doing pt. 9,251

We disappeared into the mountains for the first week of the new year and it was all it’s cracked up to be. 7 friends and 2 dogs shared this little cabin, and home cooked meals and snowy day expeditions and quiet afternoons of knitting and games and reading.

Not going to miss the outhouse situation but it was overall such a good reset before diving back into the first work week of 2019. (Which I’m trying to do right now and deeply struggling).

Wishing you **comfort and joy!** to close out this epically exhausting year. I’m gonna go work on a puzzle, finish a book, and watch the Great British Baking Show under a pile of throw blankets and wish fervently for someone to deliver me a platter of fudge so I don’t have to make it myself. In fact, while I’m embracing the lazy, let’s count this as our holiday card this year. ❤️ Love from The Astrellas (including Mozzarella, obviously ) and our 13’ 150 lb monster of a Christmas tree

New tradition:: my mom’s advocacy for adopting that unverified Swedish tradition making the rounds on social media that everyone gets just one book and a bar of chocolate, to be enjoyed on Christmas Eve.
Old tradition:: signing the gift tags from the dog.

The reason for the season!!!

Sweet gray and white envelopes for some birth announcements of a dear friend going out in the mail today. 📬💌

“BABE I REALLY LOVE THIS BATHROOM!”- a thing one of us usually shouts during a visit to our recently updated disco powder room. (Yeah, we’re “babe” people. You can deal with it, I promise). • As far as #notquiteprimrose home improvements go, this one was easy! The idea was to keep the general Studio 54 vibes but modernize it a bit and we did it with only 3 elements:
• remove the honest-to-goodness ah-mazing wallpaper on ONE wall and paint it the same white as the rest of the house to create some continuity
• update the beveled mirror with this brass framed one
• replace the old, off-center, vanity minibulb light fixture with a new mixed metals one to tie in all the metallics

It took us two weekend work sessions, only one swearing fit/frustration break, two borrowed tools, and $300- but what we realized was how much confidence we’ve built up in the last year when it comes to tackling these things. It was super gratifying, another good reminder that the right tool can solve just about anything, and I love how it turned out. I hope you get to pee in it, some day.

Under cover of night (2018) • I took a photo of our dog, Mozzarella, a few months ago of her snuggled up in our bed refusing to move and come out and face the vast unbearable emptiness that is her existence* and I related to her so deeply that I made it into Art.
(*we’re both fine, it’s fine, everything is fine!)
