Jill's Wedding Weekend:Part 1

We took a quick trip up to San Francsico at the end of July for Cousin Jill's Wedding. It was a jam packed weekend, and it was a blast. Nico got his play on with his cousins. Oldest cousin Austin was also celebrating his birthday that weekend. It was Austin's request that we head to Filoli Gardens, about 25 minutes south of S.F. What a hidden gem! Historical home and gardens, incredible weather and good food. I'm a native and I had never heard of it. Nico had a nap meltdown but I was able to quickly buzz around and see some of the house.There was inspiration everywhere. I want to circle my lemon tree at home with extra large terra cottas!
Loved these old long silverwood benches.
Why buy a hose rack at Lowe's when you can make this?
In the bar, probably redone in the late 50's.
Loved how they cut the horse out to go onto the painted wall.
Christian found a good hiding spot. The 2 cousins chillin' on the wall.
In the house: Delicious custom Goyard Luggage.

Filoli is the name that the owner Mr. Bourn gave to his home. His life motto was: “Fight for a just cause; Love your fellow man; Live a good life.” How cool is that? Why don't people have personal credos like that anymore? ("Go big or go home"doesn't count.) And why don't people name their homes anymore? Grand estate or small trailer, I think naming your home gives it good energy. It's on my to do list for sure, please send in your suggestions.
