In the past, I’ve felt self-conscious when putting a hat on, like it “wasn’t me” or something. But I realized that the more you wear a hat, the more you like it on yourself. (Plus, they’re great for day-four hair, am I right?!) I’m really into brimmed hats these days because they keep the sun out of your eyes — I love a hat when I go for my Sunday walks with Cricket or for a day at the beach or by the pool. In fact, I would rather wear a hat than sunglasses!
Especially now that plain tees are so in, hats are also just a great way to accessorize. My friend from Idaho just got a really stylish baseball cap with NY on it. I told her I always wanted to wear one, and I have no connection to New York. But after talking with her, I realized that it’s like how people wear Ivy League collegiate sweatshirts whether they went there or not — it’s just a look. It freed me up, and I want to give you the same permission: You can wear whatever hat you want just because you like it!
I recently bought a hat from Gigi Pip as a gift for my sister Andi. When you open the packaging, the box reads: “for the women who wear many hats.” I just love that, because we all have so many roles we play every day. So here’s to wearing all the hats!
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

I recently got an email from someone that asked, “Where do you go for new design inspiration?” She went on to say, “I use Houzz and lots of popular sites, but I feel like I’m stuck in an algorithm and keep seeing the same things.” I know the feeling — it’s so easy to get […]

As long as you’re not one of those “girlies” that leaves the sticker on the underside of the hat. Tacky.
So tired of all the “NY” hats they’re everywhere. Gimme “LA “ everyday.
