A Guide on Hanging a Chandelier Over a Dining Table
We recently hung a new chandelier from our Shades of Light collection over our dining room table, and it felt like Christmas day around here! Collaborating with Shades of Light and then using the pieces in our own home is so surreal, and it's just as exciting getting tagged in images with your new CLJxSOL […]

Thai Coconut Curry with White Fish
We all have our comfort foods, and while some crave a Tasty Meatloaf or a Cheesy Casserole (both delicious), my ride-or-die comfort meal is a hot bowl of curry. My Vegetable Coconut Curry recipe is in rotation, but I'm a sucker for a classic Red Thai Coconut Curry. Toss in some white fish, like cod […]

Create a Cohesive Home Color Palette
I'm sad to say that today is our last lesson in this Color School series, but all good things eventually come to an end. Throughout the last three weeks, we've covered color theory from the basics and explored how color theory applies to everyday home design. My favorite part was breaking down every color of […]

Black, White, & Neutral All Over
Throughout this Color School series, we've covered every color of the rainbow – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink. But as much as I love color and use it throughout my home, it's all made possible by the building blocks of reliable blacks, whites, and neutrals. These classic tones are the reprieve and […]

Lean Into Your Feminine Side With Purple & Pink
We're nearing the end of our Color School series (I know, already??), but I could never forget about the two most feminine colors on the color wheel – purple and pink. Okay, technically, pink is a tint of red, but if you think about it, it's really the only tint that we identify as its […]

I See Skies of Blue
Okay, if I had to choose just one color to use in my home (torturous), it would be blue. Blue is a tried and true for me, and I have yet to meet a blue I didn't love, so I'm super excited to jump into today's lesson. As a reminder, last week we covered the […]

Lemon & Dill Roasted Potatoes | Chris Cooks
Potatoes are often overlooked in a sea of flavorful foods, but the truth is, they're incredibly flavorful and versatile if prepared correctly (are my Idaho roots showing?). These lemon & dill roasted potatoes are one of the simplest yet more flavorful ways to cook potatoes, and they make a great side at every summer gathering. […]

The Grass is Greener on the Green Side
It's no secret I'm a big fan of green based on the number of rooms I use it in. One time I even painted our study an olive green color, only to repaint it a gray-blue and then paint it back to green, but this time a glossy dark green. The hard truth about home […]

Brighten Your Home With Some Yellow
In our last home, I really challenged myself to get out of my comfort zone and use colors I had never used before. I did this in the red music room, Polly's purple bedroom, and this yellow playroom. I had taken risks with color in past homes, only to grow sick of them in a […]

I Spy With My Little Eye... Something Orange
If there's any color I might have an aversion to, it's orange, and I don't think I'm alone in that. There aren't many people who declare orange as their favorite color, and we certainly don't see it painted on very many walls. That being said, I bet if you look around your home, you'll be […]

I'll never forget the day we decided to paint the music room in our last house Fading Twilight by Benjamin Moore. I had never painted anything red, but I had a vision of a jewel-toned room in the heart of the home, and I felt like taking a risk. It's still one of my favorite […]

Using Color Theory to Embrace a More Colorful Home
In 2012 I wrote a blog post called "I'm not who I used to be," where I basically confessed that I thought I loved colorful walls, but it turns out I was wrong. Ha! How the turntables (fellow office fans?). Now that I'm more seasoned, I know that I just hadn't found my color groove […]

My Most Requested Fruit Salad | Chris Cooks
Fruit salad. Yawn, amiright? No! Everyone loves it, and everyone has their version they make that is always a "popular" hit. But a trend I see with a lot of fruit salads is using second or third tier fruits and mixing it with higher and higher ratios of non-fruit ingredients until it's basically dessert. Whipped […]

How Much Does It Cost to Install Wallpaper?
There was a moment in home design history when wallpaper was everywhere! Remember when we all started tearing it out and painting over our walls? Whether or not you like it, it's back, and I think we learned our lesson about throwing it out completely. Wallpaper can be a timeless design choice, and I am […]
