Introducing Chris Loves Julia x Framebridge

12 Hooks I Love For the Mudroom
I've been planning out the hardware for the mudroom, and I can't stop putting hooks in my cart at Lowes.com. They're just so helpful for stylish home organization. I decided to do a hook "try-on," so I ordered these 12 to see how they looked on the beadboard. I've narrowed it down to three, and […]

Unveiling Our Future Room Renovation Plans
It's hard to believe we're three years into designing our moody modern traditional home. Sometimes people will ask me, "What are you gonna do when you're done?" I can't think about that yet — I'm not even close! While I feel great about so many rooms in the house, some are still on the "to […]

8 Things to Consider When Replacing Windows
Before we even moved into our house, the previous homeowner told us we'd have to replace some of the windows. Many of the seals were broken and some of the windows had some cracks. We held off as long as we could — it's not the most exciting use of money. But the investment can […]

In My Red Era
We recently painted the trim and hallway doors the most dramatic shade of red, and I find myself making excuses to pass through this part of our house. It's so rich and romantic and glossy and inspiring. It's like the hallway is wearing lipstick. She's feeling herself :) I can barely remember what it looked […]

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 […]

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 […]
