Master Closet Update: It's All Painted!
Last week we finished putting up all the trim and getting things filled and sanded, and this week has been all about paint. As a reminder... Kind of hard to look at, haha. Clutter, paint samples on the wall, wood floors mixed with wood shelves and wood baseboard and white baseboard and wood filler and […]

Studio McGee's Design Plan for our Exterior!
The day has come. About a month ago, we announced that we had hired a designer for the first time--specifically STUDIO MCGEE (!!!!) to design our exterior. Below you can see our exterior as it looked when we first purchased our home in June 2019. During our renovation over the fall/winter, our contractor found that […]

Creamy, Classic, 5-Minute Hummus
I'm not vegan, or even vegetarian, but I aim for 70-80% of what I eat to be plant-based. I just feel better that way. So foods that have been around for generations and are already plant-based are worth memorizing, because they're usually simple to make and super tasty. Enter hummus. It's a favorite around here, […]

How to Plank a Ceiling & Install Crown

Though things have really slowed down these past few months (for everyone), we're making such great progress and are getting so close! Here's how our closet started out […]

Our Two New Olive Trees (One Real and One Faux) and a Round-up of the best at every price point!
A couple YEARS ago we did a post--olive trees are the new fiddle leaf. It was shortly after we got this faux one for the living room in our last house. We did a small roundup of favorite faux options but to be honest, at the time, hardly anyone was selling them. Now, fast forward […]

Two Fun, easy & Inexpensive Ways to Add Interest To A Bedroom
I am definitely someone that prefers to improve and layer and add-to a room over time, never really proclaiming a room "done." This weekend we circled back to Greta's room to add two inexpensive elements that made such a fun difference and it only took about 20 minutes total! Before: Now: The two things we […]

Shrimp Salad Endive Cups with Fresh Cherries
Some fruits and vegetables generally taste the same year round, while others should really be in season to truly be appreciated. For me, cherries fall into the second group, which is unfortunate because I love fresh cherries. BUT! Cherry season is upon us, so let's celebrate and use some cherries! This shrimp salad really is something […]

Casual Friday: Disguising Wall Pimples, Tapestries, Chris Loves Julia Security is back + More!!
This week was monumental for me. Something shifted. I started feeling so much better and and after a long drought of feeling unmotivated and uncreative, I hung art and moved furniture and made plans. I'm starting to feel so much more like me which has been refreshing and rejuvenating. One of the places I hung art was […]

Closet Update: How to DIY Closet Shelves (for shoes etc.)
When we initially planned the shoe shelves, we thought they'd be angled. But the more we sat with this decision (and the more DMs we got), we decided flat shelves would be more versatile. What if we wanted to put boxes or baskets on the shelves, for example? For this project, we used: • 1 […]

How we decided on New Wall Sconces in the Stairwells (at last!) + Look-a-likes at every Price Point!
All I wanted for Mother’s Day was to replace the sconces in our stairways and add some to the upstairs hallway :) The old ones were outdated, "Beauty-and-the-Beast-looking" lights with two artificial tapers and nine dangling crystals on each. I never even turned them on because I didn't want to draw attention to them. Ha! […]

"What's up with the mold?" An Update on Our Home's Exterior
Our house is getting a facelift. Two weeks ago, we shared the scary news that the plywood under our stucco exterior was completely rotted and riddled with black mold – especially on all of the inside and outside corners, which our house has a lot of. Our contractor and his team have been working diligently […]
