I admit it… I spent a lot of time at home this weekend. But it felt so good. Friday evening was brown sugar & honey marinated salmon and quinoa salad on the couch with one of my faves, Saturday was my inaugural visit to Flywheel Seattle (I was put in my place, to say the least) and my inaugural visit with one of the cutest 8-week(ish) old dudes around (weekend regret is not getting the camera out – I’ll snap some pics next time), and Sunday was a ridiculous amount of R&R, yoga…and House of Cards. I also ate a whole watermelon. To myself. They are in season and you should get yours.
I didn’t get a picture of dinner on Friday, but I did capture my “leftover hash” in the making today. It’s become a hobby of mine on Sunday mornings to throw whatever veggies/starch I have in the fridge into a pan, fry it up, top it off with some Herbs de Provence, and add a couple eggs. Always different and always delicious.
Caramelized onions, mushrooms, quinoa and new potatoes. I would have loved to have had some beets laying around.
My big find of the weekend was this purple tray on sale at West Elm for $9.99. So happy about it we might just go back for the clear one, too. It’s a big ottoman…
And finally, because a house (my house, in particular) can never have too many tributes to California, I finished my ode to the Bay at the top of the stairs.
And that’s the current light fixture above the stairs… Someday I’ll get this photography thing down.

1. I think you should get this to lay over the ottoman and then set the tray on. (you can get them anywhere this is just one of the cheapest) http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70026822/
2. Your Cali neighborhood list is missing a pretty important hood!!!
Your hood is just too up & coming!
Just checked the link… oh Kelsey, clearly you don’t have pets in your house. 🙂
