A Change in the Dining Room: Our New Dining Chairs

For the past few years we've had a set of vintage chairs in our dining room and I really do love them... at least I love how they look. But to be honest, they are really uncomfortable to sit in for long periods of time. We love to host dinner parties and game nights and […]

Halloween Decor Ideas for a Traditional, Spooky Vibe

I tend to go for a traditional, elegant, and spooky approach to Halloween decor rather than a cutesy vibe. I want it to feel like my house is really abandoned!! Imagine if my home had been left untouched for 150 years...that's the look I'm going for. We're talking cobwebs, spiders, bats, ugly pumpkins with warts, […]

This post is sponsored by Wayfair I'm in my fall feelings right now: Give me all the dark mahogany wood tones, the colored marble, the antiqued lighting...but with a modern vibe. I spotted a vanity at Wayfair a few days ago that I sent to all of my work girlies because it was THAT. GOOD. […]

White Floral Chandeliers at Every Price Point

There's been steady progress on updating Greta's room: we've painted the trim, installed the wallpaper, and added a new rug. At first, we painted the ceiling the same color as the trim, but it made the room feel too dark. So we pivoted and painted the ceiling back to a creamy white — it immediately […]

3 Tricks to Make Frame TV Art Look More Realistic

It's not often I change out art in a room, but if I do, it's most likely the Frame TV art. It's just so easy and so inexpensive (once you have the Samsung Frame TV of course). But you can set a landscape-sized background on a lot of TV brands these days! I've rounded up […]

I've been following some really fun things happening in design lately, from colorful checkered floors (stay tuned for more on that topic *wink*), to veiny marble slabs, to flush mount lights over islands instead of pendants. Color-drenching is here to stay, and I love seeing the moody, traditional vibes in fall decor. View this post […]

Mood Board: A Moody Blue Mudroom Under $1400

Remember those "choose your own adventure" books where you could skip to another chapter with a different outcome? The other day I was looking at our new peel and stick Nova wallpaper, and it hit me — how great would this be in a mudroom!? Ok, obviously mine is in its final stages, but I couldn't […]

The "Back-to-School" Home Reset

Even as an adult, there's something so fun about the back-to-school season. I love decluttering desks, packing backpacks, and filling lunch boxes — it feels like everything topsy-turvy about summer is rooted in routine again. Greta is headed off to high school this year (how did that happen so fast!?), and Faye and Polly are […]

Transform Your Kitchen At $150, $350, Or $750

As I mentioned earlier this week, kitchen styling is about clearing the clutter and intentionally making the utilitarian workhorses of your kitchen into your most beautiful decor — whether that's the cutting board, the tea kettle, or the fruit bowl. Then you can layer in the elements that are typically found in more formal entertaining […]
