Casual Friday: November 3, 2017

This week was one of those that felt never-ending. I think it had something to do with Halloween being on Tuesday, which made it feel like Friday and then we woke up and it was only Wednesday. Anyone else? We've taken on a lot of campaigns in the next few weeks, which means a LOT […]

Casual Friday + What's In My Makeup Bag

Tonight's our 7th annual costume party! Last year was our craziest year yet and I think we learned a lot from having over 200 people show up. This year, we tried to cut down the guest list and decided to make a big pot of chili, corn bread, apple cider and homemade rootbeer (the dry […]

Fall is in full-swing here and we're enjoying perfect jacket weather. We finished our outdoor kitchen just before our shoot a couple weeks ago, but can't show you the full thing until the magazine comes out next summer! However, enjoy the sneak peek. :) Last night, Chris made turkey burgers with apple butter, arugula, whole […]

Over two years ago, we made this raised feeding station for Charly--you can read the easy tutorial right here. This week, on my Instagram stories I showed that we updated it (the scrap wood we used previously wasn't the best choice of wood) using a stair tread we stained and sealed and attached to the […]

Rug | Sofa | Art | Pouf | Wall Color: Pine Grove by Clark+Kensington Fall arrived in Idaho this week, with cooler temperatures (in the 50s-60s), crisp mornings and lots of rain. It has me lighting all the candles (this Fig one is a new favorite!), and assessing my wardrobe because "I haven't worn that […]

Our baby girl is one month old today. She is the sweetest little chub, weighing in at over 11 pounds now. Sleeps 6 and 7 hour stretches at night and loves to be cuddled all day long. Yesterday, Chris was on Polly duty for a few hours while I was trying to wrap up some […]

Polly & Charly

Casual Friday

Casual Friday: August 25, 2017

We are slowly adjusting to life as a family of five. I'm still very sleep-deprived and weepy most of the time, but Polly has started giving me longer stretches of sleep at night and I feel like a new woman those mornings (we had a 5 hour stretch night followed by a  6 hour stretch […]

Glider | Pouf | Rug | Wallpaper | Crib | Crib Skirt | Floor Lamp | Light Fixture I'm remembering all over again how difficult the final days and weeks of pregnancy are. I feel like I've been going 100 mph and this week, at 39 weeks, it all came crashing down. Off and on contractions--sometimes […]

We finalized (and started--oops) so many big projects this week--my head is still spinning. Although I haven't posted here for the past two days, I hope you were able to catch some of the master bedroom renovation we did on Instagram Stories this week! It was an intense, but fun, 12 hour day that ended […]

Casual Friday: July 7, 2017

It's been a jam-packed week behind the scenes. Not only with the 4th of July (which we enjoyed so much!), but I also designed and ordered everything for three rooms/spaces that we'll be making over THIS month--two of which are not in our own home. It's always so fun for me to design for other […]

Casual Friday!

One morning, after swim lessons, Faye was so cold she took off her wet bathing suit and jumped immediately in our bed and watched Frozen Fever probably 5 times. (Our sheets are and duvet are from here.) This week was a little hectic around here, between trying to juggle current projects and aiming to get […]

Casual Friday + Our Hanging Chairs

School's out, the warm weather has finally arrived and we're soaking up every second over here. This also means we have a lot of outdoor projects and posts coming up including building a big front porch swing, an outdoor kitchen, adding a play set to our yard (more on that in a minute), a look at the […]

We've been dreaming of purchasing a small cabin in the mountains for over two years now and for the last 9 months, we have been actively looking at properties. Our ideal is something on the small and cozy size that is surrounded by trees, needs a little TLC, has winter access, and one that we could […]

It's been a jam-packed week and I'm feeling ready for a nap. I'm looking at you, Mother's Day. At the beginning of this week, I had a surge of energy--at last! I cleaned everything from top to bottom and then shopped our house to rearrange a few things in the entry. I pulled this blue bench from […]

Aloha! Chris and I flew to Maui yesterday for some much needed R&R and a little babymoon he surprised me with for Valentine's day. The funny thing is, we have never taken a babymoon before, but I guess it's our last one so we're living it up before becoming a family of five! We've never been […]

(Old photo snapped of our group. Me, mid-story, looking only a little nuts. Haha) It's not news that one of our favorite things to do is to have people over. It started a long time ago, before we even had kids or a mortgage. Shortly after we were married, we hosted our first Friendsgiving. We didn't […]

I haven't had the chance to put up a Casual Friday in a couple weeks due to traveling and projects, and there's so much I am excited to chat about today, including a little pregnancy update later in the post. While I don't share a ton about my pregnancies generally, I thought it would be fun […]
