The Rewards Program Every Home Lover Should Be A Part Of
This post is sponsored by the best thing to happen to my online shopping, The Key Rewards. It's always cool to see which home brands are connected under the same umbrella and it's even cooler when they get together for a reward program. A bunch of my favorites--West Elm, Pottery Barn (kids, teen, baby--all of […]

How We Keep Our Floors Clean with A Big, Hairy Dog (and 3 little kids)
This post is sponsored by BISSELL We get a lot of questions about how we keep our home clean with a big, hairy dog like our sweet Willow romping around. I usually smile and say, "We just love her more than we hate the hair."--which is, I mean, best practice. But the truth is, we […]

21 Fine Art Pieces For The Bathroom
You know what I love in a bathroom? Art. Hard pass on punny prints or bathroom reminders (wash your hands!)--but give me all the fine art. For some reason, it's unexpected and it can elevate the (likely) smallest room in your house so quickly. Our entire master bathroom was inspired by a vintage waterscape painting […]

7 Different Kinds of Shower Niches (and Designing Ours!)
Designing our shower niche was something I spent an unusually long time thinking about. It could stem from the fact that we came from zero shower niches, just the smallest triangular shelf in the corner (worst, worst, worst) of our previous shower that we supplemented with one of those over-the-shower arm caddies. I was over […]

Casual Friday + Blogs are Dead
I had a realization this week when I was out to dinner with some girlfriends--Blogs are dead. I don't think necessarily in the way that a few people said they would die a few years ago, but Wednesday night, one of my best friends looked me in the eye and said, "I never read blogs […]

Is Adding Windows to a Bathroom a Bad Idea?
We've learned it's important to celebrate all the steps of progress in any home project, even (and perhaps especially) when that project feels never-ending. We're 5 (6?) weeks into our bathroom renovation and big time celebrating the recent addition of new windows being put in. It feels amazing to have natural light for the first […]

Adding Marble Flooring to the Master Bathroom
Our bathroom floor is installed, heated, grouted and I’m over-the-moon with the outcome. When we were deciding what we wanted to do for our bathroom floors, once it clicked that our shower shouldn’t be marble (but a beautiful, varied green tile), it was clear our floors should be marble. I really envisioned something large format […]
