We’ve been working diligently on (and living in) the Joshua Tree Hacienda, our newest project. To be quite honest, our life right now consists of dust, tripping over home depot bags while cooking dinner, and working on cleaning up one corner at a time so we have a place to sit and keep (some of) our sanity. It’s a whole different beast renovating while living full-time in the project, but we’re starting to see progress which gives us hope. Ultimately, we know it will be worth it.
We’re often asked about our favorite places in Joshua Tree and the surrounding area. We never know quite where to begin with our recommendations – there’s a little bit of everything here. The epic, the strange, places that simply feel alien.
We’re beginning the new year by simplifying our lives, and finding simple pleasure in all of our senses. Music is such an integral part of our experience here in the desert. This playlist includes many of our recent favorites.

This year, I knew I wanted to do another personal project, and it just so happened the the start of this year’s […]
A day in Joshua Tree that we would be happy to live over and over again.
This is the house that started it all.
Well, this is long overdue! As you may know, last year we bought the Joshua Tree House which we spent the summer working on and have now been renting on Airbnb since September. We loved creating a lasting experience so much, that we decided to do it again!! We closed on a new property in […]
Walking through Andrea Zittel’s property, I felt inspired to think about everything around me in a new way again. How an object is used, how things decay (and how that process can be beautiful), as well as how design informs how we navigate through each day. What we surround ourselves with can alter the space […]
