A Fun Place to Hang Pet Portraits
When our first dog, a large Great Pyrenees named Charly, passed away last year, we received a beautiful (and crazy accurate!) watercolor portrait of her from talented artist, Jamie Clark. After we adopted Willow, we added her portrait to our collection. I actually CRIED when I opened it and saw the paintings side by side, […]

Modern, Inexpensive, Large-Scale Portraits--Updated!
Over three years ago, I photographed our, then, two little girls in a simple and modern way, and blew them up as engineering prints and the result took the internet by storm. The project has been shared and duplicated hundreds of thousands of times and today, I thought I'd share a little update. Because they grew up […]

IN STOCK ALERT: The Arteriors Jacob Coffee Table Look-A-Like is back!
Over a year ago, back in September 2016, I found an almost identical look-a-like to our very popular coffee table that now lives in the reading room: But, up until recently lived in our family room/playroom downstairs. It sold out that day, everywhere, and hasn't been back since. I set up an in-stock alert on […]

So I figured it would be beneficial to put together a quick post outlining each so it can live permanently somewhere and not just in my instagram stories. […]

Christmas Around Our Home
I love this time of year, but to be honest, sometimes it makes me feel claustrophobic in my own home. To the point where on December 26th I'm ready to take the decorations down--and I do! It's not too merry of me. I was sure there was another way. This year, I really focused on […]

New Low Back, Modern Spindle Chairs for the Dining Room!

Our Favorite Places To Shop for Area Rugs
When we finished the girls' room last fall, we had several of you ask if we had any plans to add an area rug. I was open to the idea--I've always been pro-rug on rug, as long as the wall-to-wall carpet is low-pile--but I didn't want to rush laying something down. However, the last time […]

A Honeycomb Capiz Globe Light for the Stairwell!
We got a new light for the stairwell! Almost 3 years ago, we hung a very modern, cube chandelier in the stairwell and loved it. But as soon as we upgraded our railing last November to this horizontal linear one above (read more about that here), it suddenly felt like a lot of very modern lines. Too much […]

My sleeping baby must-have: Black-out Shades. (And How We Decided on the ones in the Nursery)
There's one detail of the nursery we haven't expounded on yet, but I get questions about all the time--the light blue flat roman shade. Why did we choose shades over curtains? How did we choose the fabric? How dark does the room get when they are closed?, etc. And since we did put significant brain power into choosing […]
