The Joshua Tree House

It’s that time of year again!🌵🌸 The desert is unveiling itself like a long-held secret—patient & deliberate. Even after waterless months (and a particularly dry winter this year) life still emerges with each bloom a small rebellion against scarcity. A love letter to resilience.

✨ JTH ARTIST RESIDENCY CALL ✨

As our world grows increasingly disconnected from nature, we are all witnesses to the consequences. But change begins with reconnection and unhurried observation... until we reawaken to nature’s wisdom
and beauty.

This summer, is offering a free week-long artist residency for up to 7 artists (the largest one we’ve ever done!) We’re seeking artists who yearn to deepen their relationship with the natural world and create works that ignite a longing to protect the earth—a desperate call to appreciate what we have.

Please share this with artists who would find inspiration in an experience immersed in nature and head to the link in our bio to apply and read more.

ALL are welcome.

ps - submissions are due by May 12th! 🌵🌝

One of our favorite ongoing projects together over the past five or so years has been photographing every full moon and new moon that we can. The photos have become a creative project that we hope to compile into a guided journal someday (would you all be into that?), and the moments standing under the stars and the moon have become some of our favorite moments together as a couple. 🌝🌚✨

A story about a house 🏠🌵

May of this year will mark 10 years since we bought this home in the middle of the desert—a decade since we traded sirens for coyote howls. It changed us forever.

We just spent some time back at this house and it was like stepping back in time. Memories flooded back; the excitement of owning our first home, the slowness of our days watching every sunrise and sunset, the creative energy that pulsed through us when we first visited JTNP, and wandering around town chatting with locals…many of whom have now become friends. This house holds all of that for us.

This is the house we will never forget for how it taught us to work with our hands, to let the heat soak into our bones, to wake early, connect with the cycles of the moon, and offers the time and space to share the same with you all. (📸 by )

End of day magic in yesterday 🌵❄️✨

If you’ve been following along with our adobe renovation, pretty much no part of it has gone to plan (like when this bathroom’s glass shower wall shattered all over Rich and my dad when they were installing it 😳- they were luckily ok aside from a few cuts). We’ve been taking it day by day and figure if we just accomplish one small thing each day it’ll all add up… and guess what?! We now have a guest bathroom (something we’ve never had before).

Swipe to the end to see the moment we decided we wanted this bathroom to feel like sitting out under the stars on a desert summer night, and what this bathroom looked like when we bought the house!

If you love the tile as much as we do, it’s ’s alcazar in madera. ✨

With heartache and tragedy there is so much darkness, though that’s when we can best see the brightest lights. ✨

The sweet souls behind have been working tirelessly to put together a fundraiser to directly benefit families in LA who have lost their homes due to the recent fires. We’re taking part in the sweepstakes alongside 75 other small brands and artists (so many of our favorites!) with over $30k in prizes—all going directly to under funded Go-Fund me’s in an effort to help rebuild homes, spirits, and lives.

Though we don’t live in LA, we are constantly in awe of the spirit of those that live there. We can only imagine how difficult this has been, and want you to know that your community extends beyond the borders of LA.

Head to our stories for a link to the sweepstakes (and to see all 8 prize packs) and make sure to check prize #1 for a $750 gift card to any JTH property (Joshua Tree or Tucson)! Sending love and hopefully a little light to all those affected. 🧡

Ending the year with a new moon is powerful—a potent day of clarity and new beginnings both in the sky and on the calendar. 🌚✨

We couldn’t be more excited to share our last New Moon Playlist of the year, this time curated by who have serendipitous beginnings from when we invited a few friends over for a swim last year at our hacienda in Joshua Tree.

Their latest release ‘Fireside,’ has become a favorite of ours for just that—wrapped up in a blanket experiencing the contrast of crisp evening air and the warm glow of a fire. We hope their music enters the new year with you as a soundtrack to slow and intentional days.

Here’s to more time spent fireside, under the stars, with fewer things and more experiences surrounded by those we love. Write your own sweet memories into the songs so that whenever they play you’re swept back into the moment.

We’re in the midst of a move and finishing up renovations with a baby and a toddler which has been a wild adventure… so time outside has been extra meaningful the past month or so. Oh, and we had our first homemade meal over Thanksgiving at the adobe which felt so good!!

We have JTH gift cards 25% off on our site through Monday in hopes that it makes a reset out in nature possible in Joshua Tree or Tucson. Head to our stories or the link in our bio to get one.🌵🌝

We really believe there’s nothing as healing as watching the moonrise, or taking a sunset hike and spotting native plants and wildlife along the way.

My grandma taught me early on that kitchens should be bright and sunny, so when we toured this house for the first time and saw the sun pour in and the views from the window at the kitchen sink we knew this would be our family home. 🌞 Swipe to the end to see the desert views we fell in love with and what this kitchen looked like when we bought the adobe last year.

This week’s garden view at the hacienda, vs over the summer and on the cover of our book back in 2018. A few weeks back the cactus on the right grew too much for its own good, broke in half and didn’t survive. Forever loving this view but missing that guy! 🌵

If we don’t love it and treat it respect for them, who will? 🌅

Somehow it’s on the darkest nights that we see the most clearly. 💫 Highly recommend pulling out a blanket tonight and looking up at the stars with our refreshed fall new moon playlist featuring the coolest . It’s the best prescription for that feeling of overwhelm that’s been creeping up with the election (in our opinion). Sharing the link to the playlist in our stories 🌚✨
