How I decorate seasonally + My Favorite Winter Decor
Last week on Instagram I shared how I gave my home the post-holiday reset it so badly craves at the end of the year. One of my followers actually commented “no winter decor?” It really got me thinking about seasonal decor and how I’m not typically the kind of person to decorate my home seasonally. […]

A game of musical furniture and a new grand mirror in the entry.
I'm always moving things around in our home. And even when something looks really good, after some time we learn it doesn't always work the best. Our entry is the perfect example of this. I loved our entry that we put together last year, but as soon as we got our new front door installed (that's much […]

Christmas Around Our Home 2020
It feels like the first Christmas in our home, but it's really our second. Last year, we spent December living in a hotel while the big parts of our renovation were underway--replacing windows and walls and flooring. We moved back in on December 23rd and threw up a tree and some garland on the framed-in […]

The Best of: Bubble Light Chandeliers (and my favorite way to add modern touches to a room!)

Our new window shades are an EXPERIENCE
This post is sponsored by Blinds.com. It's a little mind boggling to most (including us!) that we've been without blinds since we moved in. We knew we were replacing windows so we didn't want to invest in window coverings until the sizes were right and so we've been waking up with the sun (or before […]

Hanging Ceiling Mount Curtains in the Dining Room
I did something in the dining room and it kind of changed everything. A few weeks ago, we hung some art on either side of the arched door and it filled in the space fine, but it actually sparked a different idea--a better idea. Why don't we hang curtains on that wall?! And so we […]
