project sb: a new project + adventure
You may be wondering what is lil’ Pepé doing sitting on a (knock off) Eames lounger and what is he so deep in thought about… Well my friends, he is probably thinking about what to do with the large new space he is sitting in! (that or he could just be taking a nap.) Sometimes life gives you the opportunity to spend some quality time in a new space, and that’s exactly what’s happened to me recently. I’ll be splitting my time now between my home in Orange County and a new space I’ll be using in San Diego (specifically Solana Beach).
It’s a pretty big space, 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bath- all empty and ready for a happymundane touch! I just got the keys this past weekend and a little overwhelmed with all the things I still need. Pepé is very excited about the prospect of becoming a “beach dog” and I’m super excited to start decorating a new home! I’ll be sharing the progress and process of my “Project SB.” Stay tuned for more updates and if any of you are SD based, please leave a comment! Would love to know your recommendations for shops, stores, and any of your favorites!
By the way, the views are AMAZING.

Cool! SD is an incredible place to live! You have to get a mango tart from Pasta Pronto in Del Mar on Via de la Valle. Not only is it beautiful, but it tastes sooo good.
cindy! omg- my place is on the same street and complex that Alex’s parent’s place was back in HS!!
Congrats! Happy to help you in any way! Love SD!
Dude, just THINK of all the excuses to hit up West Elm!
Whaaat? Oh my sweetness! Congratulations, Jon! Your new space is amazing. Pepe looks right at home already. I lived in San Diego for a year in high school in Point Loma and it was refreshing. And Will is right, West Elm shopping spree! Can’t wait to see what you do with the new space.
Whoa–that is so weird!
[...] got the keys to the new place and … now what? As mentioned, it’s 2 bed/2.5 bath. The kitchen, dining room and living room are all on the top floor. [...]
Wow. I’m not sure how I never found your blog before. I’ll try to limit my tips, but there are sooo many good spots in SB. I love SOLO, right in the design district there for fun curios and great design/architecture books, too. The owners are terrific about finding unique pieces for you. Down the road, Grounded has amazing planters and lots of fun stuff for entertaining. You got a gorgeous spot. Can’t wait to see what you do with the space! xx Noe

You will love it. I grew up in San Diego and north coastal SD is one of the prettiest areas. Concur on Solo. Check out North Park (Ray at Night is always fun) and South Park for some central SD fun….
