All The Paint Colors in Our House (and why paint colors you see online might look different in person!)

Essential Decor: 6 reasons you can never have too many BENCHES!
Sources We did a furniture reconfiguring in the entry now that the entry side is all finished (doors still need painted and we're missing a few baseboards in the office), and some people were very concerned that we got rid of our bench. Not true! We moved it around to the garage entrance of the […]

This was one of my favorite houses in Raleigh that we looked at, as far as the exterior went. Unfortunately the spaces inside and the backyard weren't right for us, but I'm so happy to see someone else snatched it up. It felt so cottage-y and traditional and cozy. All of my favorite things. One […]
