SOFA + BED
Since our move, I have been searching for a sleeper sofa that is attractive, yet a good sleeping option for our guests. Since we only have one bedroom – we think this could be the best option. We bought a REALLY awesome blow up mattress as back up…hopefully we will a lot of friends come […]
30 DAYS OF BOSTON / DAY THREE
Okay, I skipped yesterday but it was Sunday and I figured it would be okay to wait and post on Monday. 🙂 So…it was about 24 degrees the past two days and I still didn’t have a good coat – we went to Newbury St. on Saturday to look for one and I was being […]
30 DAYS OF BOSTON / DAY TWO
Okay so we figured out really fast that taxis are quite a bit more expensive than taking an Uber here in downtown Boston. Also, most taxi drivers can be assholes (pardon the language). But let’s be honest, in big cities they are, and it’s because taking a taxi used to be your only option so […]
30 DAYS OF BOSTON
I landed in Boston late last night and was greeted by Cody at our hotel in West End (our new neighborhood). I began thinking about how different our lives are going to be living right in the middle of downtown versus our (kind of) suburban lifestyle we had in San Diego. That’s when I thought […]
TRUE LIFE: WE ARE HUMAN
As I was driving home last night after a goodbye dinner at Urban Solace with Vanessa, Chelsea and Conni – I first started to think about how much I am going to miss all of my friends here in San Diego while we are in Boston. I also started to think about one of our […]
BRRR….BOSTON….BRRR
This San Diego gal is moving to Boston which means she is going to need more than a light sweater/cardigan to keep her warm. Okay, Okay, I am not originally from San Diego…I am from Oklahoma where we actually have pretty cold winters (including ice and snow sometimes). That being said, I DO have a […]
BOY’S NURSERY MAKEOVER
Say hello to a boy’s nursery makeover I have waited too long to share with you all! You might remember this sweet girl’s nursery I designed a few months ago for my friend + mentor, Jenny. Melissa and Scott (two of Jenny’s friends) were about a month away from having another boy when she contacted […]
IN CELEBRATION OF…
Doing what you love.  Now that things have slowed down, since our wedding and honeymoon have come to a close, I can focus on another really exciting event…moving to Boston. I am going to be freelancing practically full-time (I say practically because I will also be working part-time for West Elm in Boston).  It’s such an […]
OH I DESIGN MOVING SALE
We are having a mini-online sale of furniture, wedding decor, a bike, etc! Cody & I are moving to Boston in about a week and are downsizing to a one-bedroom apartment…so sadly enough we have to get rid of a few items before our big move! To access the sale head over to INSTAGRAM and […]
THE DAY WE SAID “I DO”
I am so glad I can finally sit down and share some photos of our wedding day, October 25th. It was even more amazing than I can explain and Cody & I felt very loved the whole weekend our friends and family were in town. We just returned from our honeymoon in Thailand which was […]
QUICK UPDATE +
So here’s the big news! If you follow me on instagram, @jessicajpackard, you have probably already seen this. Cody (my fiancee) received a promotion with his design firm to open an office on the East Coast so we will be heading out to Boston a week after we get back from our honeymoon (mid-November) to […]
