When we found our dream abandoned inn bordering Saguaro National Park, it already felt like tile heaven. In some areas old carpeting had been removed, but the original Saltillo tile remained along with various Talavera tiles creating patterned borders on the many fireplaces. As we brought JTH Tucson back to life, we loved the idea […]
Split Rock Loop Trail in Joshua Tree National Park is a moderate loop trail that we’ve been really enjoying lately. We find that it’s not as trafficked as other trails in the park (like Hidden Valley or Barker Dam), but offers similar beauty (think rock formations, Joshua Trees, and incredible views). There’s so much beauty […]
Winter has arrived in the high desert, and with it, cold nights and the thought of last year’s fleeting snowstorm. Our December New Moon Spotify playlist focuses on the ethereal, hypnotic harmonies of San Francisco duo Magic Magic Roses. Kate Sweeney and Sarah Simon have been making music together since 2008, releasing a string of […]
This year we’re focused on consuming and wasting less, while supporting our community and environmental causes. This year’s gift guide includes so many of our favorite artists and makers (many of which we worked with to create JTH Tucson), and sustainable items we’ve been loving and will continue using in 2020 to reduce waste. Cheers […]
We’ve now been Airbnb hosts for about five years, and our time hosting has quite honestly completely changed our way of living. Airbnb has asked us to share the honest ups and downs with you all, and why these past five years have both been the most fulfilling and challenging years of our lives. There’s […]
Allow me to quickly jump in to re-introduce my sister Jenny before we dive into her second guest post on sustainable living! She began with one small idea: to cut out her use of plastic bags, and from there has grown to reduce her consumption in so many other areas. Her journey has not been […]
A month ago on the full harvest moon, we opened our doors to JTH Tucson. We celebrated our new inn with art, music, whiskey, food, and this incredible Tucson community. We teamed up with Studio Table and Ishi Glinsky for an art inspired meal, Del Bac whiskey for local cocktails, and Camelbak to keep everyone […]
We’ve been indulging in the warm desert nights as we split time between our home in Joshua Tree and our new Inn in Tucson, AZ. Our September New Moon Playlist is inspired by the “bathwater” evening air that draws out the subtle nuances in the environment around us. The atmospheric music of the magic songstress […]
We did a lot of research to find the perfect sofa for the shared living room at JTH Tucson—it needed to be something large enough not to be dwarfed by the room, comfortable, and practical to clean. We began looking into slipcovered sofas for that reason, and fell completely in love with SixPenny’s Neva sofa. […]
The bones of JTH Tucson were amazing from day one (and why we bought the property in the first place), but the bathrooms were never really the star of the show. While we didn’t have to make any major layout changes (nor could we afford to), they were in major need of a surface level […]
