simple & slim sangria.

03/14/2012

I don’t really drink much.

But I realllllllyΒ love this sangria.

It’s hands downΒ my favorite I-want-to-have-a-draaaank-kind of drink.

It highly amuses Mr. Peaches and his little brother when I actually say that out loud…

SangriaΒ at most restaurants can beΒ dangerous with all that extra added sugar and alcohol, but this sangriaΒ is madeΒ with just red wine + a wee bit of brandy + a wee bit of O.J. + Diet 7-Up + a whole lotta sliced-up fruit + plenty of ice.

i.e, a cocktail sent from the heavens.

What does this all mean?

Basically it means you should whip up a batch of it this weekend and make some tacos or pizza, or heck — go crazy and make some bacon-wrapped dates — and sip it with someone you like. Or love.

too da loo,
peaches and cake

One more angle of the bedroom I shared yesterday. One more angle of the bedroom I shared yesterday. We decorated the rest of this client’s home in vibrant blues and purples so I wanted to continue that color story in their main bedroom but in a more muted, calming way. This couple is obviously not afraid of pattern mixing (😍) and it was truly such a joy to hand select fabrics for each element in the room. 🎶
