The perfect summertime meal: cold ramen, iced coffee au lait, and some green tea ice cream.

Home Sweet Home: The Nursery

Now that the baby is actually here, I don't see the point of nurseries since I do believe Kojiro will be spending the greater part of his first year in our room. By the time he turns 1 this may see a little too baby-ish?? Who knows. We did, however, have fun putting the room together. The only downer is that we were not allowed to paint the walls which would've made the room. Oh well...can't wait for toddler room decorating time!

The sunshine in my life

Home Sweet Home: The Garden

We moved into this house at the end of last year and I've been wanting to take pictures since then. It was built in the 30's and belonged to a prominent family in the Torrance community. It definitely has a vintage feel that acts like the perfect canvas for decorating and DIY projects. And although we don't own this house, it still feels like home.

I'll be posting a series of images from the house including baby Kojiro's nursery in the next weeks but here is the garden..
