Have you ever walked into a space and felt the difference—before even noticing what it was? That’s the beauty of Senso floors.
They’re seamless, soft underfoot, and made from plant-based resin. Born in Amsterdam, designed to move with you—and now one of our favorite design discoveries.

When designer Laura Brophy took on a full remodel of a Newport Beach vacation home, she named it Vitamin Sea — a nod to the natural materials, calming palette, and of course, those expansive ocean views.
Designed for a family of six to relax, recharge, and make memories, every detail reflects Brophy’s thoughtful, organic approach to coastal living.
Take a look inside in our latest issue.

🎨 “I’d like to see people in the paintings.”
That simple request from Jan Hilbert led to a remarkable shift- a collection transformed by humanity, storytelling, and connection.
From oils and watercolors that rival Europe’s finest to the beloved narrative art of the California Scene, Jan and Mark Hilbert didn’t just collect - they shared. 💙
Their vision lives on at the @hilbertmuseum ,a gift to the public where art speaks to all ages, backgrounds, and hearts.
🖼️ Free. Joyful. Inspiring.
