Napa Style


Georgina actually rides this to school at the CIA. I'd spill my drink if I tried that.

Good morning, Kids. Running around like a crazy person...still. How is it possible that so many things can pile up after only 4 days away? Nuts! But these photos help to immediately place my mind into longing and relaxation.

This is where we stayed during our Napa hiatus for Sarah's birthday. Jon and Georgina have done alot to this 1902 cutie and it was the perfect respite to rest our inflated and overtaxed livers. They bought the house less than a year ago after Georgina was accepted to the Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena. Sadly, she's a talented cook already, attractive, charming, funny, a delightful hostess, with an adorable house in Napa, and a looker of a husband with humor to spare. Don't worry, Kids...we all "hate" her!

Bon appétit!


100+ years and still kickin' it!


I think folding chairs and a rabid pit bull would look more welcoming but whatever.



That's Beefy's bed over by the wall. Beefy slept here. Should I send a plaque?


I couldn't get any work done here. This is daydream grand central!


I seriously hearted the glass canisters below with the vintage tea cups as scoops.


Georgina preparing the outside table for Jon's wine tasting.



I thought we shoulda put out some Cheetos and Pork Rinds. Y'know to keep it "klassy".



Yes, indeed...good times were had aplenty! Sigh. I miss you California...don't forget to write!

    Georgina! Look everyone! It's Miss Georgina herself! No you are too much! And you deserve much praise for all of your multitudes of talent! MWAH!

    laura...you didn't get the invitation? Mary? What did you do with that invitation?!! ;)

    fert...are you originally from California? Did I know that already? There's lots of loveliness to miss.

    sweet paul...now you know I'd force Georgina to make you welcome! You two would have a field day with her food and your styling...or even the other way around! I may even get a lil' jealous! ;)

    lobster & swan...that platter was delicious AND devoured! So tasty! Particularly Georgina's suggestion of fig with blue cheese wrapped in prosciutto! YUM!

  16. Oh no. I had just decided on colors and decor for my new kitchen and this post is making me totally reconsider them. My husband won't be pleased with you :D

    I love this house and everything in it! The glass cannisters are amazing, and tea-cup scoops?? How amazing is that?!

    The office...that's my heaven.

  17. Ah....now I see. I was over on Pinterest pinning every single one of your photos of her gorgeous home. Now I get the full beautiful picture! ( by the way, your photos ARE gorgeous) Love it all....so very beautiful, peaceful and calm. LOVE the teacups as scoops....that is a genius detail. But, what really made my day? Your captions...." I think folding chairs & a rabid pit bull would be more inviting but, whatever.: HA! That made me laugh out loud...your so clev-ah darlin!
