Slow Decorating in Our Bedroom
Since painting our bedroom dark brown, we've been taking our time in here. If I'm being honest, I've been in a bit of a creative lull. Which is a scary place to be as a content creator. Just like writers get writer's block, I think every creative gets creative block and I've been trying to […]

A Fresh Look at the Entry
I've been shopping my house to outfit the entry since we moved here. At one point the media console was placed in the hallway which was great for storage but it felt so heavy. I've had several things in the little stair nook, including a vintage table around Christmas time and most recently, this pedestal. […]

3 Amazing Desserts for the Ninja CREAMi | Chris Cooks
It's no secret we have some food allergies in this house, which can make dessert kind of tricky. I kid you not, our dessert woes are forever over because of this one kitchen appliance. Totally not sponsored, the Ninja CREAMi whips up frozen treats by simply freezing fruit (along with whatever else you want), and […]

Favorite Denim Shorts
I'm normally not a shorts person. I like to stay warm at all times and I naturally run cold! That being said, the weather in North Carolina is actually begging me to show a bit more skins, so here I am in denim shorts. Also, I kind of love it. I especially love pairing denim […]

Where We're Using Semihandmade Cabinets Next + A Giveaway
Since announcing the CLJ Studio we're going to be moving our team to, we can't think of a better place to install a little kitchenette using our cabinet fronts with Semihandmade! Back in 2019 when we launched our collection with Semihandmade, they exclusively specialized in making quality cabinet fronts to fit on IKEA cabinet boxes. […]

A Ceiling Fan Show and Tell
I've never been much of a "ceiling fan in the bedroom" type. I find white noise very irritating and since I wouldn't use the fan function, I don't usually hang them! That being said, a fan in a home gym is something I find to be totally necessary! When I was searching for a fan […]

Sweet & Sour Shrimp (Grain & Gluten Free) | Chris Cooks
Asian food is tricky for a lot of food allergies, particularly grain & gluten. For example, sweet & sour sauce. Typically made with rice vinegar, thickened with corn starch, seasoned with soy sauce (which most often contains gluten). But with a few substitutions, this version hits all the highs without the dietary lows that can […]

My Favorite One Piece Swimsuits
You may have seen on Instagram that we took our team on a trip last week and had the best time. Along with sandy toes and salty hair, I found myself sporting a couple of bathing suits a day!–a necessity when vacationing in the Caribbean. Between snorkeling, mud-bathing and zip-lining, I managed to snap a few photos […]

From the very beginning, Stoffer Home Cabinetry designed our kitchen hutch, including these brass rail details that I've been drooling over (see the full plans here). This whole corner is definitely a whole moment within the kitchen and can't you see why? I love having a designated place to display our serving platters and copper […]

Curry is one of those comfort dishes I get a hankering for and this vegetable coconut curry is no exception. Packed with vegetables and rich, aromatic spices, vegetable curry satisfies without leaving me feeling blah. If you know, you know. The balance of coconut is what brings the curry home! It's delicious as is, but […]
