Late November at Home in San Marcos

·San Marcos, California·#San Diego#home#daily-life#november#interior-design
A vibrant sunset over the ocean with a bright orange sun on the horizon, silhouetted hills and distant buildings.

The house is mid-drift from fall to Christmas right now. Orange tapers are still out on the dining table in the brass candlesticks, but the little red-and-white gnome trees showed up today too, price tag still stuck to one of them — $12.99, gold feet, no argument from me.

The powder room is done, banana-leaf wallpaper floor to ceiling with the old gold mirror against it, and the sign on the wall so nobody can mistake what room they're in. It reads as a jungle in a five-foot space and I like it more every time I walk past.

Clouds moved through in the afternoon but cleared off by evening, and the sun went down straight into the ocean off the back of the hill — no haze, water visible all the way out. Ended the night down at State and Cedar in Little Italy, sky still not fully dark.

Patio with wicker chairs, blue fire pit glass, plants, a railing, a flying bird, and a view of hills and sky.A beige house with a tiled roof, solar panels, and a tall green tree under a cloudy sky.Three orange taper candles in brass candlesticks on a woven placemat on a wooden table.Two red and white gnomes and a red ornament on a light wooden table, with a green bottle in the background.A powder room features banana leaf wallpaper, a black vanity with a white sink, an ornate gold mirror, and a patterned rug.A powder room with green and black leaf wallpaper, a black vanity, a gold mirror, and a "Powder Room" sign.A dark grey wall with a tiled fireplace, TV, and two shuttered windows, flanked by several potted plants.Two blue street signs, one reading "State St" with a gold seal, the other "Cedar St 400W" at night.
