Snapshots By Amanda Luttrell Garrigus

CHOICE WORDS

“I love the simplicity of this piece on every level. The clean lines, the raw earthy elements, and the direct, affirming message. I have been known to point at it when my kids are spinning out.”

HIS, MINE, OURS

“When my husband loves a piece of art that I’m not super crazy about, it often winds up in his office. Over the years he’s collected several quirky pieces and I’ve come around to loving some of them, like this papier-mâché rhino.”

A STYLISH COLLAB “

I co-authored this book with my friend, interior designer Kelly Wearstler. It serves the dual purpose of inspiring me with its stunning images, and reminding me of an accomplishment of which I am very proud.”

CUSHY REMINDERS

“I love Paris, and recently traveled there with my family. We had a spectacular trip. These throw pillows, one in our kitchen and the other in my office, remind us of that beautiful city.”

CHALK IT UP TO LOVE  

“This magnetized chalkboard wall in my kitchen makes me so happy! It’s a clean, graphic way of displaying some of our kids’ notes and photos. And I love our inspirational quote magnets. I like that we have a daily reminder to at once strive to be our best, and allow for forgiveness and flexibility on the days when things don’t go quite as planned.”

HOT PICKS  

“I feel so lucky to have a beautiful garden in which to hang out with my kids and where my husband and I can entertain. Two of my favorite features are our olive tree, which we planted a few years ago when we re-landscaped…”

“…and our lemon tree which my mom planted for us. I harvest lemons from it first thing every morning to squeeze into my warm water and green juice. How LA is that? LOL!”

“…one of our go-to recipes from this amazing cookbook.”

PLAYING FOR KEEPS  

“My piano! Tom bought it for me shortly after we were married. How lucky am I?? I love to sit down and play, and now my daughters are taking lessons and learning to love it as much as I do.”
