A Note from V

Always Right l House of Valentina.jpg

Rosa Parks l House of Valentina.jpg

It’s been a rough few days. I’ve shed a lot of tears and have felt completely overwhelmed and quite frankly at an utter loss for words. 

It’s Monday morning and I found myself dreading the day, the week… the future. It felt so grim, so unimaginably heartbreaking and devastating. I am certain that I do not have the right words. How can one find them in such a time as this? I’m a fixer, a doer, a go out there and save the world kind of person. It’s how we ended up overseas doing nonprofit work for 12 years. 

But this isn’t going to be fixed by selling everything we own and blazing a trail. This is bigger and it’s not going to get fixed in a day, but in spite of everything I find hope. 

28.9 million reasons for hope… that’s how many people posted on Instagram alone with the hashtag #blackouttuesday There’s a lot of people globally who want to bring about change and give hope to all people in the future. 

I believe that change begins at home and it begins with us. It is our job to take what has happened seriously and to be agents of change in big ways and small. 

I believe in a bright and beautiful future for all people.  It’s the only thing that gets me up every day-it’s that hope that we can save the world and make it a better place.

I’ll be sharing more in the coming days on how we had already been working on projects to bring about change for BIPOC voices, but I can assure you that at the heart of everything we  have ever done and ever will do is a voice of solidarity for all people. 

We celebrate the beauty of all people. It’s why you hear us saying over and over that your story is a gift, your life is a treasure, and your home is the refuge where you get to be fully yourself. 

So, as we start a new week we are committing to being a light in darkness, change makers, a voice of kindness and love and hope seekers.


A Note from V l House of Valentina

Our children will inherit the earth that we give them, and not just the land and the sky, but the beliefs, the thoughts, the actions, the stories, the lessons… all of it. Our hearts break and yet we know that if we demand that our children’s future will be brighter then it is our responsibility to stand up for it and move forward as one. #togetherforward

My little oasis… My bedroom door opens out to th My little oasis…
My bedroom door opens out to the deck (one of my favorite features a home can offer!) so I decided to plant a kitchen garden with citrus and herbs, figs and tomatoes… it’s become a private escape where I run to every morning with my coffee cup. I love how a garden can bring such calm and delight! XxV

Styling up a brunch date with the girls… I love Styling up a brunch date with the girls… 
I love eating al fresco this time of year! I’ve got some of my best girlfriends coming for brunch so I’ve set the table with some of my favorites from @thewhitecompany 
1. I always lay a charger down (it’s the foundational piece that helps pull everything together! These made of rattan really help bring a summery feel!
2. Next I choose dinnerware that will create depth and are perfect for serving! These are so creamy and the handmade quality of them is stunning!
3. Flatware is an opportunity to create interest! These made of rattan also add character and personality!
4. Coasters are an extra feature that gives glassware a little “umph.” I love adding these with the woven look because, again, they are really pulling my summery vibe together.
4. Don’t forget to add florals and candlelight for the finishing touch! I love using hurricanes so the flame is contained & and pretty rattan baskets with a glass of water inside Perfectly corral casual blooms. 
5. Finally, a favorite beverage, like freshly squeezed lemonade + sweet tea adds a special treat for guests!

I’ll leave all the links in my LTK (link in bio) & in my stories! XxV
