Eggs & Asparagus
Traditional American breakfast is a bit sticky for me. On the one hand, I love me some bacon, eggs, hash browns, and pancakes. Other the other hand, feeling like you need a nap at 10am isn't the best way to stay productive through your day. I've found that, if I'm going to eat breakfast, small […]

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." […]

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 […]

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 […]
