How to Put on a Duvet Cover In Under 3 Minutes (Without crawling inside!) So EASY!
This post was created from a real life moment. We were getting our room ready to shoot an update last week and I asked Andi, our Visual Media Producer, to give me a hand putting the duvet cover on. To which she said, "Tell me I don't have to crawl inside. I ALWAYS crawl inside of mine." […]

This post is sponsored by Lowe's Home Improvement. A few weeks ago, we teamed up with The Makerista (Gwen! I love her!) and Lowe's Home Improvement to find a bedroom in the country in need of some TLC and a family that could use some respite. We had hundreds of bedrooms flood in and we […]

Andi's Art Ledges (& Tips for Displaying Family Photos!)
Julia came with me to see the house that had made my heart flutter when I saw it on Zillow just the evening before. We walked into the door and this was our view. Except...of course it was empty and one wall was painted an "accent" sage green. (That was painted within three days of […]

Grapefruit with Avocado Cream (grain free, vegan dessert)
Desserts are not typically my thing. I feel like they're usually a little too heavy and just leave you feeling tired and gross after having eaten a big meal. But I like to have a few light finishers I can whip up quickly for those times where I'm feeling like the meal could use some […]

What's Modern Cottage Style Anyway?
In 2013, "Fixer Upper" first aired, and over the last seven years we've learned what a "modern farmhouse" looks like. Even city dwellers, small spacers, no yarders, and definitely folks without cows or chickens adopted Chip and Joanna's iconic style. They defined the genre. They also inspired all of us to forge our own path […]

One of the projects we're focusing on this year (as outlined in this post) is the hallways. Often forgotten about, and yet, passed through all. the. time. We have two significant hallways (upstairs and downstair) we want to make some intentional design decisions about and I always gather inspiration first. The thing I realized makes […]

All the Details About the Stone Checkerboard Floors In The Dining Room--They're Finished!
The dining room floors are done and we're in love! We went with a checkerboard pattern on a diagonal using a more natural-looking stone (as opposed to a stark black and white), but they're actually matte porcelain tile from Bedrosians! They are oozing with character and feel warm and bonus, are super durable. We originally […]

Chicken & Sausage Paella
For busy week nights, it's nice to have a few dishes in your back pocket that come together quick, use only one pan, and act as protein, main dish & side dish all together. Paella is one of those things for me, and I love how versatile it is. Paella is traditionally a seafood dish, […]

Grain, Dairy and Gluten Free Beef Stew
Many stews can be thickened with flour or corn starch, but this version avoids all that and replaces it with crazy amounts of flavor! Sometimes beef stew can be cooked to death, so every bit tastes the same and has the same mouthfeel (that is to say, is mushy). I share some tricks for getting […]
