The Upstairs Bathroom Mood Board

Design

The Upstairs Bathroom Mood Board

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 […]

Brass Rails in the Kitchen

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 […]

Do You Keep a Dresser in the Bedroom?

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 […]

How My Design Style Has Changed Since Moving to NC

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 | […]

Ranking the Top 7 Duvet Inserts on Amazon

After testing pillow inserts, we had so many requests to try duvet inserts next and I know exactly why! It can be so disappointing to spend so much money on an insert, only to have it literally fall flat. I personally think the fuller and fluffier, the better, but I also like a little bit […]

My Top 16 Pura Scents For Spring!

Reading this back, I realized this might sound like a sponsored post, so to be clear--IT'S NOT! My sister, Andi, turned me onto Pura in our last house. I bought two devices to prep our home to sell, because it's true what they say, smells can leave a lasting impression. Honestly, I wasn't immediately sold. I […]

Hanging Fine Art in the Kitchen

I'm so grateful that things found in a kitchen can be so function and beautiful--whether you're using objects like copper pots and pans, wooden boards, bowls of fruit, or plates on display. A crock of wood spatulas. Mortar and pestles. Even every day dishes on display warm a kitchen. I even love the idea of […]

We Tested the Top 5 Amazon Pillow Inserts--Here's my favorite!

If your throw pillows are looking a bit flat and sad, it's likely your pillow insert isn't ideal. If you can (most covers unzip!) swapping out the insert can drastically improve the look of your throw pillow--but not every insert is created equal. I've bought many a pillow insert, and have discovered that it can […]

What's the Difference?? A Huge dive into the Credenza, Sideboard, Buffet, Console, Media Stand (and our favorites of each!)

We recently moved this cabinet into our dining room, and in moving it I realized I'm not quite sure what to call it. Is it a cabinet, a chest, a buffet now that it's in the dining room?? And while we're at it, what about a credenza, sideboard, media stand, and console? I think I've […]
