I have them in our bedroom, our study, our kitchen, our daughter Greta's bathroom, our mudroom...you get it ;). They immediately make any piece of art, bookcase, mirror, or collectible wall more of a showcase. Plus, they provide just the […]
Shop Greta's Room This year has brought big transformation to Greta's room. She really wanted to move away from the baby pink into a more sophisticated, teen-girl room, and she gave me pretty much free reign to redesign it for her.

This post is sponsored by Wayfair I'm in my fall feelings right now: Give me all the dark mahogany wood tones, the colored marble, the antiqued lighting...but with a modern vibe. I spotted a vanity at Wayfair a few days ago that I sent to all of my work girlies because it was THAT. GOOD. […]

Color-drenching is here to stay, and I love seeing the moody, traditional vibes in fall decor. View this post […]
