The Tool Gift Guide for Homeowners & Renters
This post is sponsored by Lowe's Home Improvement I've heard that when you're gift-giving, you should prioritize "something to wear, something to read, something they want, something they need..."

New Peel-and-Stick Tiles: Red & White Marble and Green & White Marble

Video: Our Fall Modern Colonial Exterior House 2024
I was so excited to share new photos of our entire house exterior a couple of months ago. But lately, the leaves are showing off their fall colors and the golden afternoon light has been a paid actor against the brick, ivy, and landscaping. There really was no other option: I had to take you […]

The One Thing We Added to Our Kitchen (And Told No One About—Until Now)
The product was gifted but all opinions are our own. About six months ago, we added a foot pedal to our kitchen sink. (GASP! I know!)) We kept it under wraps because we really wanted to test it out for a while to see if it was something we could recommend. It all started earlier […]

Simply Roasted Honeynut Squash
There's a new squash in town that everyone's talking about, and that's the honeynut squash. A smaller and slightly sweeter descendant of the butternut squash, it's quickly become one of my favorite fall vegetables. And it makes an incredible side dish for your Thanksgiving table. This season, I'm all about high-impact, low effort dishes, and […]

Which Holiday Window Candles Are Right for You?
When it comes to decorating for Christmas, it doesn't feel like I've really "finished" the task until there are candles in each window. The glow at night is just the most classic, nostalgic holiday feeling. But now there are so many kinds of window candles to choose from—and some are better for certain situations than […]

I first started talking about creating a Chris Loves Julia shop in 2016. It's been a loooooong time coming. I really wanted to start a curated shop of all things home. The idea wasn't necessarily having a shop as a brick-and-mortar—I’ve always been pretty web-focused. So in 2016, I launched Shop Our House. I think […]
