RSVP

"Honestly, we’re ready to host our own parties again — we both love entertaining, and now that we are neighbors, we are dreaming of hosting gatherings with all of our family, friends, and women in our community who have lifted us up and kept us inspired. Since we designed our own homes with entertaining in mind, we are eager to put these spaces to use with all of the people we love most! My dream dinner party guests would be musicians Jack Johnson and Donovon Frankenreiter, Joanna Gaines, florist Erin Benzakein, chef and restaurateur Erin French and my old dog Bailey." —Aly Morford

STOP IN

"Maybe this is biased, but we love our flagship Pure Salt Shoppe in Newport Beach! We took the time to design and grow this space into a client showroom, designer office, and most importantly, shopping destination for all of our customers who want to experience the full Pure Salt aesthetic. Plus, we love that we’re centrally located and so close to the beach. We like to think we’re the first stop on your perfect Newport Beach day—a little shopping at Pure Salt, followed by lunch nearby and a walk along the beach!" —Aly Morford

BRIGHT IDEA

"Lighting is so crucial, not only for its utility but for the ambiance — we love lighting sources that offer a statement all their own, yet feel so integrated to the design that you reach for them even more than you would your overhead lights! This means we gravitate towards pendant lighting in kitchens, hallways, dining nooks and even bedrooms. A favorite technique of ours is to pair pendants like the Hicks Large Pendant by Thomas O'Brien for a symmetrical look that centers the room. That, and playing with material and finish creates a dynamic and layered look we love!" —Leigh Lincoln

HOT TIP

"We love partnering with local artisans, not only because we are fans of their work but because we really value investing in our local community. One of our favorites is Slightly Choppy — their handmade pennant flags are reminiscent of vintage surf heirlooms, and they bring such personality to a space. It’s always a treat to present a client with a flag of their favorite beach or surf spot as a memento of some of their fondest memories!" —Leigh Lincoln

TRY THIS

"We love our Jungle Wallpaper! The muted watercolor look feels so fresh and calming, like a day spent at the beach. Not to mention, we both have a soft spot for this paper since we used it in one of our favorite projects of all time: Lauren Conrad’s nursery. With the fronds and ocean hues, it just feels so quintessentially Southern California." —Aly Morford

ADD TO CART

"The perfect marriage of utility and beauty, we love the Gaios Table Lamp by AERIN for its shape and unique glaze. We like to pair and place these lamps on bedside tables for a bit of soft texture in our designs, or on a living room console for some ambient light on a cozy night in." —Leigh Lincoln

ADD TO CART

"I am obsessed with the Tripod Floor Lamp by Chapman & Myers. I placed it in the corner of my living room with an armchair to create the perfect cozy nook. The modular legs are such an interesting look that feels a little vintage, a little craftsman, but still clean and simple and exactly to my taste."—Aly Morford

ADD TO CART

"We love the scalloped shape of the Bryce Medium Flush Mount by Kate Spade New York for a touch of whimsy and playfulness, especially in kids spaces like playrooms and nurseries—it goes to show that you can have beautiful kid-friendly pieces in your home!" —Leigh Lincoln
