25 REALLY Cute Crib Sheets
I'm so glad that one crib sheet is not enough, because even if it were...it could NEVER be. There are too many cute crib sheets out there to only buy one. And while I'm mostly content with white sheets in my own room, give me all the cutest patterns for the baby's. They add personality and a splash […]

The Start of a new Nursery: One Room Challenge Week 1!
A few weeks ago, we shared our happy news that we'd be expecting our third child, another little girl, this summer! So when we were asked to participate in the One Room Challenge again this Spring, we knew exactly the room we'd want to tackle in the allotted 6 weeks--the nursery! Which currently looks like […]

The 11 Best Candles for Spring
Last week, when it was still cold and snowy here, I picked up this Water Lotus candle from Target (it comes in the cutest bowl container!) and it has such fresh and bright scent to it. With the first day of Spring next week (!!), we're decluttering, cleaning everything top to bottom, shedding heavy throws from the […]

Casual Friday + Need Your Advice!
Thanks for all the love on our home office reveal yesterday! Finishing that room was like a huge weight lifted from my shoulders (unfinished projects give me major anxiety!) and the biggest gift at the same time. The hours between my "morning sickness" are starting to lengthen, sometimes even into a full day, and with […]

Living Room Refresh, and A Lighting Hack!
Shortly after we added the darker plank wall to the living room, I started craving something lighter on the floor. Although we still really LOVE our indigo Baxter rug, we rolled it up and put it in storage for now (maybe it will be a fall/winter thing? We'll see.) and unrolled this beautiful, moroccan-inspired, budget-friendly rug […]

5 BIG, Area Rugs for Cheap (And the one we chose for the Living Room!)
Lately, I've been talking (mostly on the podcast, I think) about changing up our living room rug. The truth is, I still love the big, blue beauty after 3 years, but I just feel the need for a change. Something lighter? More neutral? After adding the planked accent wall, it has felt darker and heavier than I […]

5 Tips for Keeping Area Rugs EXACTLY Where You Want Them.
A few months ago, we layered a really gorgeous vintage rug (from here) on top of our FLOR tiles in our entry. While we loved the character it added, and the extra layer of dirt camouflage, we struggled with it constantly bunching and moving around on top of the FLOR carpet squares. Often resulting in a look […]
