This is really a story about the power of blogs. It all started with this post about my home office, which led to this house tour in Design Sponge, which finally led to a message in my inbox from an editor of Sunset Magazine asking if our home has ever been photographed for a magazine. And one year later, the October issue of Sunset has finally hit newsstands and I'm thrilled with the resulting story.
I could never have pulled the house together without the help of some very talented people including Neil Bokal and Lauren Soloff for interiors, Tory Polone for helping us create the backyard of my dreams and Holly Flora for over-the-top flowers. Thank you, friends!
We spent a full twelve-hour day shooting with the Sunset team back in August and by 8PM we felt nothing but love for photographer Thomas Story, stylist Miranda Jones and writer Jess Chamberlain. Here are some behind the scenes shots from our photoshoot day, taken by my main squeeze Alex de Cordoba.
