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 Unexpected Solution to Getting My DREAM Shower Door Knob
In the beginning stages of the designing our master bathroom (all the way back in June!), I shared an inspiration photo of a bathroom with a glass shower door, paired with brass hinges and a brass knob *gasp.* Not a handle or pull--a knob on the glass shower door. I was so inspired and I knew […]

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 […]

Casual Friday: My Skincare Essentials
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 […]

The Painting Projects we tackled over the break
One of my Christmas presents this year was getting our ceilings painted (finally!) in the entry and all down the hallways. All of the ceilings and walls in our home were painted a gray color (before we bought the home) and although most of the walls have been painted in the main area, there was […]

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 […]

The 24 Projects We Got Done in 2020!
At the beginning of the year, we laid out the projects we wanted to get done in 2020 and proclaimed we'd rather not be living through a renovation for 10 years (aka, we were putting the gas on this!). Some we didn't get to (the kitchen/pantry/mudroom), but everything else we checked off and then some--the […]

Chris Cooks: Vegan Holiday Brittle
You know that friend with the dietary restrictions? Well guess what. They actually love treats! Of course they do - don't you? Food restrictions can be rough, especially during the holidays when you can't have all the things that maybe you used to. Or having kids with restrictions and wishing you could just give them something […]

I still haven't sent our Christmas cards out--partly, okay mostly, because they haven't arrived yet--and half of our house is currently covered in plastic because the painters showed up YESTERDAY to paint the entry and Faye's room and the hallway and Polly's room and our ceilings, finally. We're still short a shower door and even […]

A Ceiling treatment and box trim in Our Daughter's Bedroom!
Finish carpentry, though slow and enigmatic, is the definition of "craft." It really makes a room special, and we knew from the very beginning of our life in this home that we wanted every room to have some kind of special trim, moulding, paneling etc. that makes it feel like more than just a space […]

Three Delicious Crab Dips (gluten, grain, and dairy free!)
Crab dip isn't inherently "holiday," but it's always just been that way for me growing up. I don't ever remember having it any other time of year, even though I love it so much. Now that our diets have shifted, I love taking old favorites and making versions our entire family can enjoy. And boy, […]
