I was supposed to be part of Lindsay’s Blogger Stylin’ Home Tour today. Sadly, I had to drop out. I had a moment last week when I thought maybe I could pull it together in time, but I was having a moment of insanity and… Continue Reading…Favorite Christmas House Tours from Around The Internet
I had a funny realization yesterday while puttering around the house. We’re still very much in the unpack boxes stage and everywhere you look there are haphazard piles and boxes. I’m trying to find little areas to put together to make a tiny bit of sense… Continue Reading…Light those fancy candles
We didn’t mean to do a kitchen makeover. Really, we didn’t. But on the first night, while I was in another room, I heard Ryan’s drill and I knew: those cabinets were coming down. Let me back up for a minute and remind you of… Continue Reading…Kitchen Mini Makeover | Design Direction + Progress
I finally got started on a few house projects this past weekend. To catch you up to speed in case you missed it: We bought a new house. It took forever to close. We lived in our friends’ above-garage apartment for six weeks while we… Continue Reading…New House Update + Choosing White Paint
This post is sponsored by Pier 1 Thanksgiving has always been a favorite holiday. I know I say that about every major celebration, but truly, Thanksgiving ranks high (like right at the top with christmas and easter). We have the best memories of Thanksgiving from when… Continue Reading…A Bountiful Thanksgiving Table
There has been some decorating chatter over on instagram about our new house. A friend commented teasingly that she was waging bets on how soon everything in our new house would be painted white. Because if you know anything about me, you know I have… Continue Reading…On Changing Decorating Styles
Master Bedrooms always seem to be the last to get attention. Mismatched furniture (or lack thereof!), artless walls, and lack of lighting seem to be more the norm than not. At least that has always been the case in our home. For this new house,… Continue Reading…A Design Plan for The Master Bedroom

There are a couple of projects happening in my world right now that are pretty much taking every ounce of my creative energy and so I find myself going again and again to Pinterest for inspiration. With all… Continue Reading…Three trends I’m into right now
Last spring we rented a house in a darling beach town. Of course the second we arrived the kids ran through each room checking it all out, claiming their beds and shouting to one another about how cool the place was. Want to know what I did… Continue Reading…How to Choose Art That Is The Right Size For Your Space

(via Rejuvenation) I love over-the-top seasonal porch decorations. You know the ones: corn stalks on either side of the door, stacks of pumpkins, piles of leaves, oversized lanterns and autumn garlands. They are so creative and put visitors in the mood for fall right away. Pottery… Continue Reading…Nine Classic Fall Wreaths
One of the first big projects we did to our house was update the kitchen. Our friends thought we were a little crazy to mess with a perfectly good one year old kitchen, but it just wasn’t our style and so we decided to go for… Continue Reading…Is White Cabinetry Right For You?
While we were away this summer, I left my houseplants with my mom. The Fiddle Leaf Fig did particularly well under her green-thumb care. I told her before we left that I really was not that attached to the tree and if it died, I… Continue Reading…The Beauty of a Fiddle Leaf Fig
We often say that stuff doesn’t matter. And, yes, of course that is true. In the big scheme of things, stuff is meaningless. Absolutely. 100 percent. I always thought this was true, but now I can say that after living with very, very little, I believe it more than… Continue Reading…Why Absolute Minimalism Will Never Feel Like Home
Last week, when September 1st hit the calendar, my instagram feed blew up with cozy images of Fall. Pumpkins, plaid, wool blankets, crackling fires, chunky knit sweaters, golden leaves. Now don’t get me wrong, I am a Fall girl through and through. It always has… Continue Reading…Easing into Fall
