Marena's home in Better Homes & Gardens

I recently found some old issues of

Better Homes & Gardens magazines and

took the afternoon to skim through them.

In the August 2010 copy,

I was pleasantly surprised to see

my friend Marena's home featured!

Marena is one of the co-chairs for the 

Newport Harbor Home Tour and her home

has always been one of my favorites.

It's so cozy and fun! She decorated it with

the help of a few other talented friends

and the outcome is just a great casual

family home with a definite California vibe!

See for yourself...

I love the crisp white kitchen with a vintage feel

the cozy breakfast nook is perfect for dining & homework

Love the chairs and fun sunburst mirror!
