Our whole team lives in different types of homes and home circumstances so I thought it would be fun to occasionally peek in on their homes. My sister, Victoria, is our brand manager and a renter, living in Washington. When the pandemic hit, she and her partner moved out of their Seattle apartment and into […]
Our home is all decked out for the holidays (you can see more here). I hung this garland along the railing. It's on sale for 50% off and ships fast! Our rug is also on sale! This is the Gold/Sand from our Rosemarie collection. You can find more entry sources here. There are so many sales going on […]
2020 was the year we all became Homebodies. It's a role I've cherished my whole life, but it was only as an adult that I started realizing if this is where I want to be, if this is where I'm going to spend all my time--then I'm going to surround myself with what makes me […]

Last year, we got our girls this train set and it's been the highlight of their days since setting up the tree in the dining room. I hope it's always one of those things that brings back Christmas memories. I'm sure there are lots of "sweet spots" when your kids are growing up, but I feel […]
It feels like the first Christmas in our home, but it's really our second. Last year, we spent December living in a hotel while the big parts of our renovation were underway--replacing windows and walls and flooring. We moved back in on December 23rd and threw up a tree and some garland on the framed-in […]
This post is sponsored by Kohler Last week, all of the plumbing fixtures got installed in our bathroom. The water is running! So although we don't have mirrors or a shower door yet, it's technically a working bathroom! Back in February, we had the wonderful opportunity to visit Kohler, Wisconsin (the most charming town I've […]
We've done a LOT of gift guides for her over the years (here, here, here, and here to name a few). So this year, I really wanted to focus on my personal favorites that I keep reaching for. Or gifts that meant a lot to me this year. These are tried and true. Tested and […]

We can all buy a car, but that doesn't mean we can build one. And we can all eat a delicious meal, but that doesn't mean we can make one. This is a gift-guide for the person in your life who loves to create delicious food, and appreciates it. 1. Silicone Utensils $49 - Durable and heat-safe up […]

The playroom rug is from Rifle Paper Co., the art is from Juniper Print Shop, the stuffed lamb is from Cuddle & Kind and the wallpaper is from Chasing Paper. You can check out […]
Tool gift guides are a bit of a yawn sometimes, and not very helpful. We're changing all that and giving you 61 tools anybody would love to receive, and breaking them down by the task they need to accomplish! And while some tools apply to almost everything you do, every project has unique tools that […]
I have full blown conversations with my girlfriends and sisters that solely revolve around the question "What are you getting for your parents?!" It's one of my favorite gift guides to put together because I just love thinking of things that would bring a smile to my parents' face. And if you want more ideas, […]

Generally small businesses need extra time to process orders and ship, especially if it's handmade, so we wanted to get this one out asap! We have a […]
We finally got our living room to a point where it feels cozy and comfortable and like us. It didn't happen overnight. In fact, it took almost a year and a half so I thought it would be fun to share the different variations here, as well as where we are now! Here's what our living room […]
Over the years, I've shared all my feast-level Thanksgiving recipes. Those are still available and never changing because they'll taste as good this year as they have the last seven years. But in case you're keeping your group small, I wanted to share something a little different for this year. An entire Thanksgiving dinner, in […]

We have been working on Faye's room over the last couple weeks, adding trim to the ceiling and walls. There will be a 36" wainscoting on the bottom third of the wall and then the top 2/3 will be wallpaper. We'll paint before wallpapering, but we needed to choose a wallpaper before a paint color! […]
