The Hardest Thing to Buy Online, imo
I don't know about you but the hardest thing for me to buy online is mirrors. Hear me out! Images of mirrors online just look like shapes–rectangles, circles, ovals, even organic shaped mirrors could be any size and it's hard to determine the scale! Dimensions, dimensions, dimensions! Sometime's they're not listed with the images and […]

This post is sponsored by Kohler In working with Stoffer to design our dream kitchen, they were so considerate of exactly how we would be using the kitchen.

Deciding On a Paint Color For the Wainscoting in the Study
I was all over the map when it came to choosing a color for the wainscoting in the study. When I feel that way, it usually means I haven't found the perfect color yet — or there are a lot of good options, and I can't go wrong. In this case, it was both. All […]

My 8 Favorite Things the Professional Organizers Did
Right before Christmas, Chris gifted me the most unexpected and incredibly needed gift maybe ever--he hired professional organizers to come unpack* and organize our entire house. *Due to our moving debacle, we had a second round of boxes stacked in nearly every room (and filling the guest house!) and our kitchen never got unpacked because of […]

Deciding on Toile Wallpaper Over Stripes in the Dining Room...kind of.
If you're subscribed to our Love Letter, you've seen that I've been on a wallpaper journey last week. I had the downstairs back hallway (that connects the kitchen to the bonus room to the garages to the laundry room!) in mind when I ordered grasscloth wallpaper samples from Spoonflower (launching next month), but when the […]

Creating a Home Palette from Paint Colors at the MET!
I'm not saying I want my house to feel like a museum–I'm just saying I wouldn't mind having every paint color from The Met in my house. I'm specifically thinking of their European Gallery, which was re-painted a few years ago with Farrow & Ball paint colors. I thought it would be fun to guess […]

Wrapping Paper & Ribbon – A Few of My Favorite Things
I think there's something magical about taking the time to make the presents feel unique and intentional and just as thoughtful on the outside as what they are unwrapping. There were many many years where I didn't put as much thought into wrapping gifts. I'd grab whatever paper we had and scribble a name with […]

Why You Should Probably Invest in a (New) Website
Back in 2019, we set our sights on a new site. Chris had been coding and managing ChrisLovesJulia.com for the first decade, and we had grown so much over the years that it started to feel a little clunky. We had somewhat of a Frankensite, with new parts and old parts and the constant striving […]

Behind The Daily Dupe
Once upon a time, I fell in love with a coffee table. Money was a little tight, but we saved up the $1,085 to buy it because once I saw it — no other coffee table would do. It was my first furniture splurge, and I was so nervous and excited. When I arrived, it […]

It's Fire Pit Season! Which one will you be sitting around?
