Wallpaper on Polly's Ceiling!
When I was ordering wallpaper samples for Faye’s room, I made sure to include a few options that I could consider for Polly’s ceiling. Wallpaper on the ceiling isn’t super common, and it’s not everybody’s cup-of-tea, but we had already installed the vertical paneling in her room and I really wanted to give the ceiling […]

On a quest for perfume--Do you have a signature scent??
Do you have a signature scent? I remember having this conversation while visiting our good friends in Chicago a couple years ago. Kim wears Clinique Happy--which couldn't be more her--and I smiled remembering stealing a spritz of my mom's when I was in high school. In between douses of Love Spell, of course...if you know, you know. […]

The ProperTee Office and Warehouse Reveal!
In our 2020 roundup, I slipped in the fact that we moved our apparel line, ProperTee, "in house" and renovated a warehouse and the office space attached to it to set up shop. Although it was casually said, it was actually a HUGE deal and we're super proud of it. And honestly, it deserves its […]

Try This: A Blanket over the Back of your Sofa as a Design Element
You can find our living room sources here! After the holidays, I shared how I spent some time playing musical furniture (a favorite game of mine), and suddenly home never felt so good. Even our living room, which has already evolved entirely since we moved in, received some zhushing and now all I want to […]

All About the Custom Vanities in our Bathroom
We’ve been officially moved into our bathroom for about a month now (cue celebration music) but we still have a few details to finish up before the reveal. If you are doing any sort of renovating or redecorating right now, you know that shipping times are crazy long, so we're just being patient. Last week we […]

Hiring Contractors vs DIY: Breaking down the Pros and Cons
These past 19 months since moving into this house have been big. Bigger than we anticipated when we moved here - perhaps bigger than we would have knowingly taken on, so it's probably good we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into. Ha! But as the projects came up and we decided to just […]

Mango, Avocado, & Grapefruit Smoothie
Every so often, a flavor combination comes along that makes you tilt your head and squint your eyes, as you wonder, "Would that really be good?" This smoothie is like that, but it catches you off guard and is so delicious. A few great things about this smoothie - it's dairy free, grain and gluten […]

My Workout Leggings, Ranked from Favorite to least!
I came to the stark realization the other day that I own more workout leggings than any other pants in my closet. I've been collecting them, almost without purge for yeeeaaarsss. And with that realization, came the other very clear epiphany that I wear the same ones over and over--bypassing sometimes entire brands, for my tried […]

Quest for the Best Gold Spray Paint
One of our most popular blog posts to date (like...ever) was when we tested to find the best gold spray paint and it was due for an update because the pictures aren't great and we (I) only tested 4 spray paints. Ahh, the early days of blogging. Luckily, this was a fun little experiment […]

How I decorate seasonally + My Favorite Winter Decor
Last week on Instagram I shared how I gave my home the post-holiday reset it so badly craves at the end of the year. One of my followers actually commented “no winter decor?” It really got me thinking about seasonal decor and how I’m not typically the kind of person to decorate my home seasonally. […]

The 2021 Interior Design Trends to Get Excited About!
Trend forecasting is tricky business (for me) because the last thing I want is for anyone to not love their home because they were told something in it is out. So instead, look at these as more of my personal opinions, things I'm excited to see more in interiors and if you've got a few projects […]

Winter Salad and Sweet Potato Dressing
Salad doesn't always feel "wintery" to me, but once the holidays pass and my body can't take anymore sugar, I just need something fresh. But I also like to eat seasonally, when I can. Serving Platter This Winter Salad features a lot of vegetables (root and otherwise), shaved super thin, and dressed in a sweet […]

Mid 2019, my skin tanked. It broke out everywhere--the photo below was when it was just ramping up. It was related to my thyroid medicine that I had to be one for 6 months before I insisted THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY! It was physically and mentally painful and I have spent the last year […]

A game of musical furniture and a new grand mirror in the entry.
I'm always moving things around in our home. And even when something looks really good, after some time we learn it doesn't always work the best. Our entry is the perfect example of this. I loved our entry that we put together last year, but as soon as we got our new front door installed (that's much […]
