Green Juice Like You Had at That One Resort | Chris Cooks
Have you ever gone on a trip and couldn't stop thinking about that one dish you had for dinner or that delicious croissant from that bakery you might never revisit? Well, I haven't been able to get this green juice out of my head since I tried it at a Mexico resort. There's something so […]

The Quest For the Best Hair Towel Wrap
We all grew up twisting our hair up into a large towel, only to have it unravel 5 minutes later. Gone are the days of using the same towel you dry your body off with to dry your hair. Your hair deserves better than that! A few years back, I started using an Aquis hair […]

How to Find Digital Art For Free or Cheap + a Frame TV Art Roundup
One of the fastest ways to "makeover" a room is to hang some art. Art can immediately change the vibe and inspire a room's potential. Art is going to show off your style and personality faster than anything else you put in a room. It's a big deal! And while we're huge proponents of collecting […]

Using The Elfa Closet System in Greta's Closet
It's no secret that one of the things I miss the most about our last home is our closet. We used the IKEA PAX system and hacked the wardrobes into our very favorite luxury closet. While we are anxiously awaiting a shiny new closet in this home, I had to show you what we did […]

How To Play With Pattern In Your Home
Renovating Faye's bedroom didn't come without controversy. Sometimes it blows my mind how one person's love can be another person's dislike, and I guess that's what makes life interesting. And I can never anticipate what projects in our home will rile up the internet, so I don't even try to. Instead, I focus on designing […]

Pork Enchiladas with Red Sauce - Grain & Dairy Free | Chris Cooks
Enchiladas are a great way to feed a family. They're pretty universally delicious and even satisfy the appetite of picky eaters, but once you have food restrictions in your family, you realize that nearly every store-bought enchilada sauce contains gluten, grain, and/or dairy. Making your own enchilada sauce isn't as convenient as opening up a […]

Simple Organization For a Kid's Bedroom
Ever since we removed the closet in Faye's room, I've received many concerned DMs about how Faye won't have any storage left in her bedroom. Well, I'm happy to report that she has more than enough storage between her dresser and armoire. Faye is my sentimental girl, and she's got quite a collection of clothing […]

Jack & Jill Bathroom Refresh
This Jack & Jill bathroom moment between Polly and Faye's rooms has never been shared here on the blog, but it's one of my favorite spaces. I love how practical and functional it is to have this connecting bathroom for the two youngest, and although we haven't done anything more than lay down a bathmat […]

With all the recent excitement surrounding Faye's new room, Polly was desperate for some attention of her own. I couldn't help but do a little refresh in her room, with a few things we had around the house, and I'm happy to report that simple act has changed everything. And with her 6th birthday (!!!) […]

Four Delicious Tuna Salad Recipes | Chris Cooks
I'll be the first to admit that tuna salad might not be everybody's jam. I get it. But if you don't like tuna salad, it's possible you've only eaten a subpar mix with basic mayo, possibly some mustard, and a bit of pickle (if you're lucky). All I'm saying is, don't knock it 'til you've […]

What to Wear According to Your Color Season
Have you ever been told while wearing an outfit you love, "That's your color!"? It's one of the greatest feelings, and it's something I hear every time I wear this azure blue, long sleeve workout top. All of the recent Color School content got me thinking about the four color seasons – Spring, Summer, Fall, […]

After finishing the Study, I was really craving a home project with a lighter lift (is there such a thing?). Although no project is without its bumps and hiccups, slowing down and renovating Faye's bedroom was exactly what my heart, head, and body needed. It's been an absolute delight working with her over the last […]

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 […]

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 […]
