Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs | Chris Cooks
Deviled eggs–you either love 'em or hate 'em. I'd say I'm in the "for" category, emphatically - especially with these babies. Smoked salmon and egg is a great pair, and with all the other flavors, it balances perfectly and will really surprise and delight anyone you make them for. Vase | Pendant | Table | […]

My Top 16 Pura Scents For Spring!
Reading this back, I realized this might sound like a sponsored post, so to be clear--IT'S NOT! My sister, Andi, turned me onto Pura in our last house. I bought two devices to prep our home to sell, because it's true what they say, smells can leave a lasting impression. Honestly, I wasn't immediately sold. I […]

The chandelier that's currently in the living room, we actually brought with us in the move. We originally bought it for out last living room but ultimately decided to go without a chandelier for that space. I was so excited to finally hang it!

Easter Basket Ideas for Little and Big Kids
Growing up, my mom would always put a fresh set of tights in our Easter baskets, along with some candy–chocolate for my sisters and fruity candy for me since I never liked chocolate. All these years later and it still feels special and that's what I hope our holidays and traditions feel like to our […]

Hanging Fine Art in the Kitchen
I'm so grateful that things found in a kitchen can be so function and beautiful--whether you're using objects like copper pots and pans, wooden boards, bowls of fruit, or plates on display. A crock of wood spatulas. Mortar and pestles. Even every day dishes on display warm a kitchen. I even love the idea of […]

We Tested the Top 5 Amazon Pillow Inserts--Here's my favorite!
If your throw pillows are looking a bit flat and sad, it's likely your pillow insert isn't ideal. If you can (most covers unzip!) swapping out the insert can drastically improve the look of your throw pillow--but not every insert is created equal. I've bought many a pillow insert, and have discovered that it can […]

I'm not typically a smoothie guy. I prefer to eat my calories rather than drink them, but not with this mango smoothie. I was wanting something a bit sweeter, a bit tangier, so I whipped up this mango, citrus & coconut smoothie to curb the craving! There's also just a hint of ginger, but it's […]

What's the Difference?? A Huge dive into the Credenza, Sideboard, Buffet, Console, Media Stand (and our favorites of each!)
We recently moved this cabinet into our dining room, and in moving it I realized I'm not quite sure what to call it. Is it a cabinet, a chest, a buffet now that it's in the dining room?? And while we're at it, what about a credenza, sideboard, media stand, and console? I think I've […]
