With the recent reveal of Greta's bathroom, the obvious star of the show is the tile. That bathroom is dressed in gorgeous tile head-to-toe (our most intricate tiled space to date)! Oftentimes, I think tile is mistakenly seen as the supporting actor, but I always consider it to be the lead character. The tile you […]
One of the most asked-for furniture links in our house is the ottoman in our bonus room! I don't blame you one bit because it's one of my very favorite pieces. We got it years ago for our basement family room, and even still, it's such a beautiful, functional piece of furniture! The bummer part […]
Whenever we do a painting project, the follow-up questions we get are, "what color is that?" and "what paint sheen is that?" I'll geek out on paint colors and color theory another day, but today it's all about paint sheen. Selecting a paint sheen is just as important as selecting the color because it can […]
Last week, Chris and I had the incredible opportunity to travel to London for work. We were invited by Williams Sonoma and William Morris and Co to preview their newest collaboration and the inspiration behind it. It was my first time in London and although it was a quick trip, they brought us all over […]
With all the excitement around the launch of our new Loloi collections, so many of you asked if we were going to be doing another mix and match post! Well you're here! This is it.

When it comes to seasonal home decor, I like to keep things fairly simple. My tips for making my home feel more cozy are simple enough to do in an afternoon (I did)! But most importantly, none of this is going to break the bank! In fact, I bet you can find most of this […]
Every home needs to have a hard working utilitarian space to drop your things and go–a mudroom! Having a designated space that you're coming and going from every day is going to keep things at home running more smoothly! And that's what a mudroom is for. In addition to the dorm room mood board for […]
A few years back, I bought a thrifted lamp and I had the idea to use it on my kitchen countertops. I don't know exactly how it came to be, and it wasn't necessarily something I've seen before, but it felt right. In the evening, I love turning off the overhead lights and turning on […]
We're making headway in the laundry room! The tile was laid, the cabinets are in, the wallpaper is up, and the light fixtures have been installed. The next thing to be done, (and the reason we're at a standstill) is install the countertops. I have been neck deep in countertop materials and so I thought […]
In case you missed the announcement in our Love Letter, the wallpaper is officially installed in the laundry room, and I could not be ANY MORE IN LOVE! My ultimate goal for the laundry room was to create a space that is fresh, clean, bright, and a little utilitarian (the straight-laid tile floors definitely bring that). With […]
It is no secret I love the classic and elegant look a picture light can bring to a space. Remember when Chris hung one up in our living room this past winter? I do love to be a rebel and think outside the box, like using a picture light in our kitchen's built-in. However, the most recent […]
Recently, I came across an image of a beautiful room, engulfed in a mural, much like the study--but it was a formal dining room. It was so beautiful and I momentarily thought OUR STUDY COULD BE A FORMAL DINING ROOM. But, then I came back down to reality and the truth of the matter is--in […]
This project is sponsored by Lowe's. The tile is officially laid in the laundry room and I'm so in love! Let's see it from one more angle because why not? Floors this beautiful deserve to be shown off! Look at how much difference a checkered tiled floor can make! This new flooring is giving the […]
If you subscribe to our Love Letter then last week you saw the newest update to the dining room that includes a one-of-a-kind Loloi vintage rug. When I originally unrolled that rug I knew it needed to go somewhere special and that the right place would eventually come to my mind. Pretty quickly I started […]
I've been calling this Greta's bathroom, but it's not solely her bathroom really. Yes it's the one across from her room and she uses it the most, but it's also the main bathroom we use whenever we're hanging out upstairs (which is frequent). Therefore, I wanted it to feel feminine, but also classic and clean […]
From the very beginning, Stoffer Home Cabinetry designed our kitchen hutch, including these brass rail details that I've been drooling over (see the full plans here). This whole corner is definitely a whole moment within the kitchen and can't you see why? I love having a designated place to display our serving platters and copper […]
After sharing a before look of our home gym, the cat is out of the bag! We're updating our home gym and I just know you are not ready for what's coming. Chris and I have had this space up our sleeves for months and our excitement is becoming too much to contain! As far […]
Do you have a dresser in your bedroom? We swapped in a leaning floor mirror in our bedroom where our dresser used to be and you have questions about the dresser! Where did it go, where is it now? Short story is, we sold it. In it I kept my pajamas, workout clothes, and underwear […]
I can't remember the last time I added something to my cart and checked out as quickly as I did with this mirror! Months ago I shared that I've been dealing with a mirror dilemma in the bedroom, and I've finally found my solution. Hello Beautiful Mirror | Pajamas | Chandelier | Rug | Bench […]
Since moving to North Carolina, I've been asked if and how my home style has changed. What's really the difference between our last "modern cottage" and this "modern colonial?" That's a great question, I would love to tell you my thoughts. Paint Color: Pigeon by Farrow & Ball Dining Table | Vase | Stems | […]
