We met Jonathon Robert Linaberry, who goes by the moniker The Bones of J.R. Jones at our Posada in Tucson, Arizona. The New York singer/songwriter admittedly has a fascination with the southwestern desert, present in his music and the accompanying album artwork that Jonathon creates himself. His song “Howl” has been on constant rotation in […]
A little over three years ago we sat down to reflect on our first couple of years of full-time desert living. The past few years have flown by, and suddenly we’ve been living in the desert for over five years. That milestone is the perfect reminder to sit down and reflect on the changes of […]
We’re thrilled to feature Jack Symes for our next rotation of the New Moon playlist. Jack is a mustachioed California native who has spent time living and writing in both NYC and LA. His songs catch you immediately with deep melodic textures and a plain-english lyrical style that feels familiar, yet profound. His songs seem […]
As we look forward to a post-pandemic world where we can gather freely again with our friends and larger groups, we’re left reflecting on the isolation of the past year. For us, the simple pleasures of a good book, a nostalgic recipe or a new song have all helped provide little moments of escape in […]
When we began designing JTH Tucson, we couldn’t have been luckier that Café Appliances had just released their gorgeous collection with a focus on design. As soon as we saw it, we knew it would work perfectly with this old southwestern inn—the matte white finish along with brushed bronze hardware had us swooning. In the […]
Hugh Norris Trail in Saguaro National Park is a moderate out and back trail named after a respected Tohono O’odham police chief, and is our absolute favorite trail on the west side of the park. The trailhead is only a few minute drive from JTH Tucson, and though it’s 9.8 miles in total it can […]
This new moon in particular has us thinking about a fresh start and new intentions for taking care of our planet. With recent fires and clear warnings from the earth that climate change is happening, the reality of losing the ability to even see the stars is jolting. We’ve been finding gratitude in the small […]
It was about 7:30 one night in May of 2015. Eight hours earlier we had loaded up our car in San Francisco with tools, clothes, and our cats. We had just bought The Joshua Tree House a week earlier and were making our first trip to stay for a few weeks. We got off I-10 […]
We’re so very excited to share that we now have Lightroom presets available for both desktop and mobile. 🎉 Created in collaboration with Modern Market, our JTH Preset Collection is rooted in a love for desert landscapes and natural interiors. It’s the perfect collection of ten presets for anyone who is looking to capture and […]
Events of the past few months have been a catalyst for deep reflection. The global pandemic and the further uncovering of systemic racism still present in our country today weighs heavily on our minds. As such, we find ourselves actively pursuing how we can be more than a place for all to enjoy. We have […]
