laundry room tour, before & after

Things are moving and shaking over at our A-frame cabin. We jetted over there last week to check on our new roof (!) and I shot the finished laundry room while we were at it. It’s the only space that is complete. It’s kind of a funny place to start, but renovations are full of surprises and hey, it […]

a-frame living room update

Well ‘knock on wood’, we found a new contractor! I am not sure why it has been so hard to track someone down for this project but I hope you guys have been bearing with me while we get all that sorted out. I don’t remember if I shared, but we need a new roof, […]

Announcing… Samuel A-frame!

I am ‘squirming in my seat excited’ to share some news that is two-fold, a teensy bit bitter and a lot bit sweet. First, while we were in the mode of big changes over here… we sold our cabin in Michigan!    Ok, as I type this I am getting a little sentimental and feeling that […]

from the weekendssss

Hi Hi, sorry for the radio silence over here. We were in Michigan for three weeks and while I intended to take a week off from the blog to fully enjoy the cabin, that week turned into two when my computer went kaput! Nothing like a forced vacation, although it’s not like I minded too […]

from the weekend: michigan to la

This weekend we said sayonara to the cabin for a little while and headed back to LA, but not before sitting on the beach through one of the most amazing sunsets I’ve seen yet, and savoring every last minute in our little place of refuge. No cell signal and no wifi meant a forced unplugging […]

from the weekend: cabin time

We made it over to the cabin this weekend and had my sister and her family (2 kids and husband), and my parents over for a day at the lake, BBQ and all. My sister lives in Wyoming so it was a real treat to have her and my adorable niece and nephew there. Living […]

swan - silver lake - michigan // smitten studio

smitten travels: michigan

This time of year, around the cabin, is pretty stunning. We arrived at around 7pm to a glassy calm lake with a non-existent horizon. It created this otherworldly scene magnified by that fact that there was not another soul in site. We dumped our bags in the bedroom, grabbed the SUP and headed straight into […]

cabin bedroom tour + before & after

Speaking of Michigan, it has been a while since I shared anything on the status of the cabin. We basically finished up most of our projects here in time to start our home renovation back in LA. Our last trip consisted of some spring cleaning and not much else work-wise, but I was finally able […]

from the weekend: Pancake Breakfasts & Afternoon BBQs

Labor Day weekend did not disappoint. We fell right into cabin life with the lazy days, lingered upon meals, book reading, and beach bumming. We had some friends over for a BBQ and an evening dip in the lake and then took advantage of the tail end of blueberry season with pancake breakfasts. Did you […]

Happy Labor Day

Happy Labor Day! We took off to the cabin for the holiday and are enjoying the long weekend with beach picnics, long walks, night swimming, bon fires, stand up paddle boarding, and a few naps in the sun. Things have been non-stop in LA so it was great to get away and revel in some […]

from the weekend: summer in michigan

I’m back in LA today dreaming of the time we spent last week at the cabin. Every time we go I fall in love more and more with my home state of Michigan. The best part of this weekend was filled with sunshine, looong beach days, quiet walks, sunset beach fires, and a few games […]

from the weekend: back to cabin

We made it to the cabin yesterday just in time for our nightly sunset walk. No one was around except the fireflies who were making the beach grass sparkle up and down the waters edge. Summer in Michigan is soo good. Hope you had a lovely weekend. Images by me via Instagram. (I’m @sarahshermansamuel)

A Sunny Afternoon – Picnic

We got our first bit of A Sunny Afternoon press yesterday over on 100 Layer Cake. Did you guys see? Here are a few additional photos from the picnic and there’s even more in the lookbook. This was the real maiden voyage with our picnic basket and it turned out so great. We packed up […]

cabin progress: bedroom storage

If  you remember from the bedroom “before” photos, there were initially two sets of identical bunk beds. Each of those bunk beds had a closet at the end. By removing one set of bunk beds (to fit the double bed) we also removed one good sized closet, and replaced it with just the tiny linen […]

may in review

May was a busy month. I pretty much had to tear myself away from the computer and an ever growing to-do list in order to take some time to rest and reset. Sometimes taking a few steps (or days) away from work is all you need to be even more productive when you return. A few […]

cabin progress: patio table

Along with the lounge chairs, we got our dining table and dining chairs squared away. Since I was loving the Redsmith and the Tolix so much from my initial search, but neither of them were really in my budget, I dug a little further and came across these Tabouret chairs on Overstock. They were a perfect […]
