COFFEE CHATS: THE TAHOE A-FRAME

The Tahoe A-Frame | A-Frame House by popular San Francisco lifestyle blog, Just Add Glam: image of a A-Frame house.

I am so excited to be back with Coffee Chats for all of you! The end of summer was hectic for us, but now that things have slowed down a bit, I am thrilled to have things slow down a bit. Thank you again, for the continued support and feedback! As our Lake Tahoe cabin The Tahoe A-Frame house is once again welcoming guests through AirBnb, I wanted to tackle some of the questions we regularly get about the space. If you’ve ever considered visiting Lake Tahoe, keep reading, this one will definitely interest you!

Q: Did you renovate the A-Frame yourself or was it how it is now when you bought?

A: We put countless hours into renovating the A-Frame in an effort to achieve its mid century modern look that it now has! It was a really fun project for Kevin and I to work on together, between making design decisions to picking fun decor items, it was really nice to collaborate on this as our first “baby” together!

Q: How can we reserve a weekend at your cabin in Lake Tahoe?

A: We are officially booked out through the rest of 2020, but there are openings as of now for 2021! We book our guests on AirBnb (or privately through instagram on exception basis) but will share last minute openings on our Instagram page.

Q: We are renting out the A-Frame in November and would love some of your favorite recommendations in the area?

A: One of the best parts about staying at the A-Frame is it’s secluded location. When we do venture up for a visit, it is always so wonderful to escape reality and have some peace and quiet. Our favorite things to do while we are in Lake Tahoe include countless hikes, cooking some of our favorite homemade dishes, and roasting s’mores by the campfire. I rounded up some of my favorite activities and places to visit in this post that I think all of our guests should read before they come for their stay!

Q: I absolutely LOVE your style when it comes to home decor! Do you have any advice or links to some of your items?

A: I’ve slowly shown bits of our house some blogs including, this one, this one, and this one but my pride and joy is our setup at the A-Frame! Renovating and then decorating this home was so much fun and I totally understand how people become addicted to home flipping! I shared ALL of our renovation and decor items from the A-Frame here.

Q: What is it like to be an AirBnb host? Is it challenging?

A: In short, no it is definitely not easy but it has been so much fun watching this little house become an escape and oasis for so many people who deserve it! We absolutely love getting messages from our guests who truly needed a break from the real world, and we could provide them with that. I’ve always been a huge fan of hosting, so we love to make each and every stay special, and we needed to find creative ways to do so without physically being there. We leave our famous brown butter cookies for our guests at check in, have everything ready if guests want to set the table for a beautiful dining experience, and implement all of the CDC guidelines for our cleanings in between guests!

Q: I live on the east coast but am DYING to come stay at the A-Frame one day. Can you give an inside tour soon to hold me over!

A: We would love to have you one day soon! We recently shared this sneak peek inside of the A-Frame living room and you can see some other features in this video, from when we took Harrison up for the first time! But our full reveal video from last year, is the best way to get a look around!

Q: I keep seeing you mention sheets from the cabin in Lake Tahoe but I always forget to swipe or screen shot. Could you share again please?

A:  We absolutely swear by these  sheets and everyone who stays at the A-Frame comments on them! I could not believe for $37 how incredible the quality was AND it had 105,000 reviews!

Q: What Christmas tree do you have at the cabin? I love the sparse look of it!

A: We have an entire blog post on minimalist Christmas trees here!

I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨ I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨
✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨ Three ✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨
Three months with this little guy and our worlds are rocked. He’s gone from just opening his eyes to rolling over, pushing himself up, grabbing at toys (and my phone as I type this out). He loves to laugh and talk in his baby language all day long 🤣 and sleeps all through the night 🙌🏼 How did we get so blessed with him?! @kmichaels216
Wedding Bells 💍 We are finally diving into some Wedding Bells 💍
We are finally diving into some wedding planning after our engagement last year and not going to lie, it’s overwhelming! We are super laid back and are looking for something small to celebrate. For me, this day isn’t about a big, fancy dress, or hundreds of guests to entertain. It’s about spending time with Kevin and I together committing our lives to one another. I was recommended to check out @shutterfly’s The Wedding Shop and mocked up an invite in this beautiful botanical print perfectly personalized to us and our style. Love our custom candle (smells so good!) and champagne flutes too! Check out my stories for more behind the scenes of unpacking our wedding items and some close ups! #MyShutterfly (ad)
CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week? CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week?
• This morning I had an eye exam to check my contacts / glasses Rx. I shared new glasses on Stories but turns out the Rx was wrong in them. I’m TRYING to wear my glasses more around the house and splurged on a pair from @ysl hoping that would help me do it 🤣🤓
• I haven’t been a big concealer wearer but I’ve been testing out the @urbandecaycosmetics naked concealer and have been liking how light it feels on my skin (I’m wearing it here, dress is new from @urbanoutfitters!)
• A work-related project this week—I’m trying to get my inbox of 700 emails down to zero. My problem is that I’ll get an email with some great piece of info in it and think “oh this is great! I can’t work on this right now but I’ll save for when I can” and I mark it unread. Well over time that has added up to 700 😬 I’m thinking of tackling it by sorting through and noting down whatever idea it is in my notebook (paper planner for LIFE! 📒) to reference it and have them all in one place. Maybe this will work!
• I’m currently sitting here watching this little baby sleep and the whole “I want to eat this baby” thing is SO REAL. What is it about babies where it makes us say that?!? He loves his @bibs_usa and @mushie_co!
• I’m considering cutting 3-4 inches from my hair....but here’s the kicker...I have this weird urge to DO IT MYSELF. Maybe I don’t want to put it off until I can get an appointment but I just want to cut it now. Please you guys, talk me out of doing this with scissors in the bathroom 🤣✂️
• Kevin and I have been binge watching @abcscandal and it’s SO ADDICTING. If you haven’t watched it, join us on Netflix but don’t blame me when you’re 2 episodes past your bedtime 😜 we are currently on season 4 of 7!
• WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS WEEK???
NEW MOM FASHION AND BEAUTY HACKS: 💁🏼‍♀️
1️⃣ Style your hair once ride that beautiful hair through the week with minimal effort. I use the @t3micro curling wand on day 1 fresh hair to put a little curl in it. On days 2-4 I use dry shampoo—my favorite is @livingproofinc to soak up oil, and then on days 5+ when dry shampoo doesn’t cut it anymore I throw on a cute beanie
2️⃣ Still trying to “bounce back” (whatever that means...) after baby? Same mama, same. @spanx leather-look leggings suck it all in and help as a postpartum support during healing. Win win!
3️⃣ Duster coats are the ONLY thing I want to wear. Not only do they keep you cozy as we wait for spring, but having pockets is NECESSARY for me. Phone in one, pacifier in another, and whatever other random things I need to bring with me when my arms are full with a baby
4️⃣ Lots of undereye concealer for that 8 hours of sleep look. @tartecosmetics shape tape is a favorite but I’ve been testing out @urbandecaycosmetics stay naked concealer and really like it for more natural coverage
MAMAS, WEIGH IN: What are you mom fashion and beauty hacks?! #newmomhacks
Our morning walk ritual ☺️ It’s still been a Our morning walk ritual ☺️
It’s still been a bit chilly out in the mornings but that doesn’t stop us from bundling up (in matching hats no less!) and going for a walk around our neighborhood. Baby carrying is a wonderful thing once you get the hang of it! I love how it gives you a bit of a workout with the added weight of a baby (Harrison is 11lbs now!) and gives them a chance to look around with a different view than the stroller. I can’t wait until he’s big enough to be front facing and then he can really look out at the world. I’ve been using the @nuna_usa @potterybarnkids CUDL carrier (this fabric is the broken arrow caviar) and my favorite feature are the magnetic clips that automatically snap into place to hold baby snugly. #lovemypbk
