Recently I’ve been curating dried flowers & incorporating them in my styling, for those times when fresh flowers aren’t available. I’ve created these small goto arrangements to sprinkle about where I think a little texture & interest is needed. I don’t go too crazy with color but the possibilities are endless. The easiest way to preserve these babies is by gathering your flower bouquet by the end with a rubber band or tie & hanging them in a dark room upside down for about 3 weeks. The dark room will help preserve the color of the blooms. Tips - Flowers are best preserved when they have bloomed within a day or so. On day 2 spray the bouquet with hairspray. It helps keep the dried flowers in place. #casitaoladesignproject #interiorsbypia #coastalliving #ideasfordecoration #driedflowers #floraldesign #dryingflowers #interiorstyling #homedecor #malibu #spechome #interiorinspiration (at Malibu, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLsTtdUjSZu/?igshid=i5dr6xcp27dm

Let’s talk light fixtures. When building a home. One of the hardest things to decide is where light fixtures are going to go until the end. My advice is if you can wait to have them installed until the furniture arrives do so. This will eliminate any unnecessary holes in the ceiling & procure proper placement. I decided on this over sized rattan weaved basket from @houzz for my new master closet. I just love the relaxed vibe it gives the closet with its shadow play. #interiordesign #interiorsbypia #styleoftheday #masterclosetdesign #masterclosetlighting #malibu #casitaolaproject #rattanweave #beachvibes #ourbeachhouse #californiadreaming (at Malibu, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKE8VNbjz8z/?igshid=1iielmu8qnnfa

Before Thanksgiving I always love to plan our table scape. I like to use organic elements as decor & just play with color. This year, I had a crazy idea to use the beautiful kelp garlands I find along the beach. I’m going for a relaxed beach vibe look. I found a, nearly perfect, long piece of kelp, & another additional piece with a cool texture. I draped the pieces across the table, then added some pumpkins in the color scheme, some eucalyptus leaves and a few pieces of driftwood & candles. What do you think? Tag me on your holiday table decor. I would love to see it! Happy Thanksgiving!! 🥰#malibu #casitaolaproject #outdoorholiday #tablescape #interiorsbypia #california #beachpeople #chasingthissaltlife #pumpkindecor #kelpforest #kelpasdecor #holidayinspiration #thatcovidholiday #thanksgiving2020 (at Malibu, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH_1J4hD8vb/?igshid=y09w6kqk1x9r

When selecting the hardware for our new home, we knew that in the kitchen we wanted to mix metals specifically stainless steel & copper. This decision came about because of the sink I picked out, a double sided farm house copper sink, a total dream of mine. Keeping in mind our easy coastal aesthetic, we didn’t want any material that was too precious. The kitchen faucet we chose was from the Litze Collection @brizofaucet It was a standout choice since it had one easy handle for on & off. Not to mention the perforated detail at the end of its architectural arm by the spout. ✨🙌🏼💙Pics coming soon! #casitaolaproject #casitaola #casitaoladesignproject #coastalliving #californiadream #ourbeachlife #chasingthissaltlife #coastalhome #beachhouse #malibu #interiorsbypia #kitchenhardware #copper #stainlesssteel #copper&silver #litzecollection #brizofaucet (at Malibu, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHipZ2djmUx/?igshid=ugymei00jerb

The Casita entrance way needed a spruce for the holiday. I wanted to keep the holiday decor simple this year & sourced some fresh Christmas tree branches & Holly berry bunches. All from my favorite local nursery @trancascanyonnursery @sealilymalibu Happy Holidays! #holidaydecorinspo #interiorsbypia #california #beachhouse #casitaolaproject (at Malibu, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXRcssmvfvV/?utm_medium=tumblr

White on white w/ accents of Marigolds in a pumpkin, I carved out to use as my vase this week. #interiorsbypia #beachouse #falltouches #malibu #casitaolaproject (at Malibu, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVQ57RmPOTJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

A graphic statement rug in a predominantly white space can make a big impact. I used this cool faded blue rug for the library because I loved the blue & how the faded areas would mask any pet hair or mess in between cleanings. This rug is from the “Lorraine collection at Living Spaces. #interiorsbypia #casitaolaproject #spechouse #interiorstyling #malibu #beachhouse (at Malibu, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTSjcEjv0Vf/?utm_medium=tumblr

Let’s discuss Pantone’s 2021 color of the year shall we? Essentially, it is yellow & grey. I wanted to show you some small ways I’ll be injecting these colors into our Casita beach house project . Details, big or small, can impact a space. Keep this in mind when curating the ways you will add these color trends into your home. I always like to switch out the pillows in the living room area to breathe new life. I found one perfect yellowish mohair pillow, as well as this neutral square pillow w/ graphic art using pops of yellow & grey. Another way to utilize the color trend could be by using a vessel for flowers in the color, or in the color family. Often times, I rearrange books of the color to help me style a good shelfie. The key is not to go too crazy with color trends. It should be intentional, but subtle. No need to invest in a yellow chair, but perhaps you are in the market for a good couch this year. A grey one, which will act as a neutral background, could take you from season to season. That would be worth the investment. How will you be injecting 2021 colors of the year into your home? #interiorsbypia (at Malibu, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMiceFRDATh/?igshid=iqgwas2cq4ji

We at Casita appreciate well made textiles & Keiki agrees that this stunner @crateandbarrel “Celosia” rug checks all the boxes! A sea of burnt orange with subtle specks of purple, green, orange, yellow, red, all delicately hand knotted with natural graphic lines to ground it all. This a bold statement piece on its own but invites many styling options to mix up the look of your space. This rug was inspired by the mineral encrusted walls along the waterways of India’s Ganges River. Colorful Rayon-blend yarn reclaimed from the garment industry. #interiorsbypia (at Malibu, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMXu1OqDqy5/?igshid=dqjrtn8kdjx7
