Hallway Inspiration + Ceiling Lights We're Crushing On.

Inspiration: Why do you think you need to put something in that vase?

This week has been a whirlwind. I surprised Chris with a weekend getaway last week for his birthday, and we ended up rushing home early because of a high fever--he was diagnosed with pneumonia last Friday and it definitely got worse before it got better. But after a week in bed, he is thankfully doing […]

300K! And We're Giving Away A Room!
Over the weekend, we hit 300,000 followers on Instagram! I remember, in fall of 2015, hitting 10,000 followers. We celebrated that — and every milestone since.
