PERSONAL MUSEUMS: BEHIND PIP & ESTELLA
I met Sana at Alt back in January, and I just adore her. She has such a great eye for vintage, fabrics, and worldly items. And on top of it all, she is so seriously sweet and friendly! I’m thrilled that she agreed to be featured here today! So here is a glimpse into the home of creative and sweet genius behind Pip and Estella!
What does “home” mean to you?
Home is a place I always want to be, a place of peace and comfort. Growing up my parents would always say that Sunday was a day to stay home and relax after a long week. I’ve come to appreciate a full day at home in the last few years.
What makes a home?
My background in Interior Design might skew the answer on this one a little, but I’d definitely say it’s the aesthetic that makes a home. Whether designed with a huge budget or by modest means, your own home is the one single place you have creative control over so go for it!
I found these in a little old book store in LA on Fairfax. I don’t recall the name of it or if it even still exists but the books are a riot. There are photos inside of women from ages ago ironing drapery and fluffing pillows. It reminds me that we’ve come a long way. Haha. Good stuff.
My mum-in-law had these lovelies and surprised me with them. It was the sweetest thing and as you might notice, jade is one of my favorite colors.
This Celia Lewis Watercolor Painting currently hangs in our kitchen. I adore it for the colors and layers. Having tried painting myself (fail may I add), I understand the amount of talent and labor that went into it. Oh, and the artist is my husband’s aunt in England. :)

This post is awesome! i am still finishing my home, so i totally want to put this things into it! yay
i love the sweet elements in her home. it seems like it's pretty clean and uncluttered, but still has pretty pops of color and interesting things to look at. i hope to have a home more like that at some point… maybe when i'm finally all grown up. :)
I'm so glad you featured Sana on your blog today! So great to find out more about her and her great finding skills! I love that painting!
Sundays at home are the best. Thanks for featuring Sana and our home!
that watercolor is gorgeous. and jade is my fave color too!
Lillian, thank you for having me! Unstitched is my home away from home ;) I love the way you put it all together! xo
what a great post! those pearls are amazing~
Oh this brings me back to Alt!! I miss everyone! Love seeing a peek in to Sana's home – looks as beautiful as she is :)
I love that Sana bought those books because what was in them as much as how cool they look on the outside. I want an Alt reunion. ASAP.
Sana has such impeccable taste! Love this peek into her personal museum!
I love your "Personal Museums" series! I looking into creative peoples' homes (not in a stalker way of course!) and the name "Personal Museums" is so unique! Thanks for the inspiration :)
