Casual Friday + Favorite Frames!
Yesterday, we painted our bedroom. We prepped the room, held up swatches, picked up two samples, decided on a completely different color entirely (Benjamin Moore Olympic Mountains, FTW!) and then painted the whole room and all the trim. I documented most of the process on my stories and we'll definitely relay everything, including a lot […]

We haven't done any major renovations to our cabin yet--but we're learning, once again, there's so much you can do even before you dive into full renovations. And while the snow (so much snow!) is still falling in the Palisades--where our A-frame sits on the side of a steep hill--we're focusing on those things. The […]
