To Baby Gate, or Not? (Plus, 18 Stylish Baby Gates)
We have a crawler, and she's getting fast! Polly is 8 months old now and I actually feel like she might be running before too long. The girl loves to move. She takes after our oldest in that respect. Greta (8) was a mover and an adventurer as a baby. She started climbing out of […]

Spring Bedding
This post is sponsored by eBay. Lately, I feel like we've been tearing away a lot of elements in the guest room. We stole the art for our bedroom. The curtains for the office. And the rug, briefly, too. (It's made it's way back in here because I felt so bad. Really.) The room was […]

Last week, we were in Austin at a conference and I missed Casual Friday. Like, truly missed it. But, at the same time, we learned so much at our conference that was put on by our ad network. It was our first time attending a blog conference (which shocked everyone!) and the blogging world is […]

Easy & Amazing Overnight Easter Ham
Easter is upon us, and everyone is scrambling to find that perfect ham recipe, stockpiling the 30 ingredients required for it, and preparing to realize late Saturday night that they have neglected the entire rest of the menu. That sentence is a little too specific for the writer of this post (*cough*) to not have […]

How to Drill into Tile To Hang A Shower Curtain
Drilling into freshly laid tile is a little bit scary, even for seasoned DIYers like us. In fact, last year after we finished the girls' bathroom, we thought we'd bypass the whole project and just put a tension shower rod up and call it good. Fast forward and every two weeks since finishing, we were […]

Voice-Enabled Lighting For the Bedroom
We've made a few lighting updates in the past couple months in our bedroom that aren't, maybe, as obvious as the new paint color, or rug, or bedding we've shared--but they have really changed the way our bedroom functions for us--I couldn't not share them. As always, lighting changes everything. The first thing we added was […]

14 (more!) Inspiring Home Instagram Accounts with less than 10K followers!
Back in November, I felt inspired to share some Instagram accounts that are doing it all right, but still haven’t reached that magical number of 10,000 followers--and since, most all of those accounts have hit 10K or are really close! A few are almost at 50K! It’s not infrequent that I see a post pop up […]

Where is Your Dining Room Chandelier From? + 15 Look-a-Likes
Table | Chairs | Acrylic Wall Frames | Vase | Faux Branches Anytime I post a photo where our dining room is visible, especially the chandelier, I get flooded with questions about where it's from. It pains me every time, because it has been discontinued. Why?! Whhhyyyyyyy. We got it nearly 4 years ago from Lamps Plus (our great room looked SO DIFFERENT!!). It's called […]
