Dress, Tennis Shoes, Table, Chairs, Pendant, Vase, Branches, Bowl, Arched Cabinet Happy Friday! Is a round-up of round-ups the most meta blog post we've ever done? Certainly. But the truth is every day we get questions like "what's your favorite ______?" and many times we have! If you want to see my top picks […]
Shortly before moving into our current home, we had just finished renovating the primary bathroom in our last house. It was hard to say goodbye to such an incredible space, but it really put us in the bathroom mindset and gave us a head-start in knowing what we wanted when it came time to renovate […]
When it comes to our home, one of the best things we've invested in is our everyday dishes. We use these dishes on the day-to-day and they have stood the test of time. We're talking white dishes that don't scratch (no to those gray scuffs!!), versatile bowls (I love a coup plate that can double […]
Recently we had somebody make a comment on Instagram about how our home is feeling so cohesive, even though each room is so different - and how?? The truth is, none of this is by accident. We are very intentional about how we design our spaces, and even though yes, the rooms are entirely not […]
President's Day sales are here! We rounded up all of the best ones and saved some of our favorite picks. Our Alice collection from our rug line with Loloi is restocked and on major sale! Here is the runner we have above in our hallway. Abercrombie: 20% off almost everything! Amazon: President's Day deals! […]
"Silver-white winters that melt into springs, these are a few of my favorite things." The only problem is, Idaho isn't quite to the "melting" part. In fact, it snowed just yesterday. Meanwhile, I'm currently itching to see signs of spring and from the looks of it, I can keep on dreaming. One of my go-to […]
It seems to be only yesterday that we laid peel and stick tile over the girls bathroom floor. Anybody else? In reality, 5 months have flown by, and they have been put to the ultimate test so we thought it was time to spill the details - the answer to everyone’s burning question, “how is […]
With our upcoming kitchen remodel (our number one project on our 2021 to-do list), we've had kitchens on our minds. So I thought it would be fun to look back at the 6 kitchens we've renovated and documented in the past and revisit them and maybe even pick out a few things (if any) I […]
Anybody else trying to figure out how we're already a week into February? Last Monday we started demoing the front-entry/ entrance into the office/coat closet, and already, it's so much easier to envision what we have planned. The entry was one of our 10 projects to tackle this year, and although we've been documenting a […]
Everyone has their game-day snack, and this one is mine. During the summer these are amazing on the Traeger, but winter in Idaho doesn't always cooperate so this is my alternate - all you need is an oven. You can use whatever your favorite bbq sauce is, but if you're looking to try something new, […]
Last week we shared a Valentine's Day Gift Guide, which was so fun, and we got a few requests to put together a date night guide. 2020 hasn't been our year to "go out," but when it comes to date nights, we honestly like to keep things casual – are you surprised, us being the […]
You can find all of the sources in Greta's Room here! More than anything, I want every room in our house to be functional and beautiful and livable. After living here for 18 months, I feel like we're just finding our stride and are able to make more concrete decisions about what could be working […]
Last week we revealed our modern cottage bathroom, and we always get a big request to share a Look For Less roundup. It's so fun to put together and share, but it can be tricky when labor varies from area to area, or if there are a lot of customizations. If you can remember where […]
Once we realized how differently each of our team members' homes are, we thought it would be fun to share them! You can catch Victoria's lake house here. Brooke's apartment here. A peek into Andi's kitchen here (we need to do a full tour of her first home soon!). And now, we bring you Derek's […]
You can find all of our bathroom sources here! One of the most asked questions is, "How do I put together an organic, vintage gallery wall?" We shared the family photo gallery wall we did in our hallway right here, but the gallery wall in our bathroom was different. Did you sense that, too? The […]
So many diets out there, it's so nice when you come across something that is safe for just about all of them. Chimichurri is one such thing. Chimichurri is a condiment made with fresh herbs, garlic, and olive oil (and a few other things) that is amazing on meats and vegetables alike. I add fresh […]
Is Valentine's Day a made-up holiday? Good news is, I don't really mind. Winters in Idaho are quite long, and Valentine's Day is a fun little celebration to get us through the cold months. Chris and I do a little gift exchange to ya know, keep the romance alive. Plus we love surprising the girls […]
Cabinet, Fauxdenza, Table Lamp, Glass Box, Vase, Ginger Jar, Candlesticks, Glasses After our bathroom reveal this week, I got this funny question on Instagram: "Did it turn out as planned or are you surprised with how good it looks?" I had to laugh because I think this was meant as a compliment--But it also got […]
This post is sponsored by Walmart Every week, I've been trying to tackle and organize one storage space in our house and this week, it was all about Polly's closet. None of our girls have a dresser in their rooms so we store all of their clothes, shoes, seasonal gear and extra sheets in their […]
It's safe to say that when we demo'd our bathroom last June (say it ain't so!!), we were not expecting the renovation to take this long. But here we are, at the end of January with a new bathroom that we're over the moon to be sharing with you today. We moved shortly after finishing […]
