Our new bedroom plans + Skirted Beds at every price point
Our canopy bed in our bedroom was my dream bed. I still remember walking around a crate and barrel a decade ago and seeing a beautiful canopy bed and just knowing one day I'd have one. This home was the first time we had ceilings that felt tall enough to accomodate the bed of my dreams […]

Designing A New Staircase (Everything you should ask yourself!)
Designing our main staircase was something that crept up suddenly, but I am so honored and happy I am able to do! The original plan was just to swap out the treads and handrail for oak to match our new floors that will be going in, but when our contractor said, "anything else? now is the time […]
