I have said it before and I'll say it again, this is my favorite budget-friendly rug. (!!!) Does anyone remember what room it is now in? You can find the rest of the living room sources here. Check out these other great sales happening this weekend! Mix & Match Clearance Finds JavaScript is currently disabled […]
Have you ever even seen our "music room"?! Maybe not. Probably not because up until yesterday the electricity hasn't worked in the room. We were finally able to have an electrician come back to look at the wiring and get it working and I feel like I'm seeing the space for the first time! This space is […]
Last week, Idaho moved to stage 4 of the reopening which allows gatherings up to 99 people. After months and months of social distancing, my family of 21 got together for the first time this year! It was also the first dinner party in our new dining room! We embraced the opportunity and dreams came […]
We've been back and forth on this, selling the land the cabin was on. It's a stunning acre overlooking the Palisades on the Idaho/Wyoming border. Initially it felt like the only thing TO DO was to rebuild the cabin after it burned down last year. We talked to one of our favorite architectural designers, Katie […]
I lived in Louisiana for a couple years and was blown away by all the food. So flavorful. So spicy. So rich. And unfortunately the richness is why I can't eat it nearly as often as I'd like to. Just doesn't sit well. But as I've been cooking for myself, my wife, and my daughters, all […]
SOURCES: Art | Bench | Rug | Jeans | Sandals | Tee I'm continually getting the same question in my inbox that makes me feel so cared for --How are you feeling now that the mold is gone? First, wow, thank you so much for the concern. If you are just now catching up, a […]
Our youngest, Polly is 2, almost 3 (in August) and she's still in a crib. But not just in a crib. Last year she tried to climb out of her crib and we got this crib tent that she absolutely loves and even asks "mom! zip me!" every night, but I kind of feel like […]
Everyone loves a good taco, but if you really wanna blow some minds, add some sweet, pickled vegetables. And before you convince yourself it's too weird or would take too long, trust me when I say it's not and it doesn't. At all. Made exactly as I do them, these tacos are dairy free, grain/gluten […]
Wüsthof knives have and will always be our favorites. We have been using them for over a decade now. They're that good. Williams Sonoma is having a mega sale on Wüsthof! Chris made a video on knife skills you can watch here! Here's some other great sales going on! Abercrombie: Up to 50% off + […]
I'm not vegan, or even vegetarian, but I aim for 70-80% of what I eat to be plant-based. I just feel better that way. So foods that have been around for generations and are already plant-based are worth memorizing, because they're usually simple to make and super tasty. Enter hummus. It's a favorite around here, […]
We rounded up all of the best Memorial Day Sales! There are so many great ones happening, we thought we would put them all in one place. We'll be sharing some favorite finds on Instagram stories throughout the weekend too! Our dining room pendants are on mega sale for almost $200 off! You can see […]
Some fruits and vegetables generally taste the same year round, while others should really be in season to truly be appreciated. For me, cherries fall into the second group, which is unfortunate because I love fresh cherries. BUT! Cherry season is upon us, so let's celebrate and use some cherries! This shrimp salad really is something […]
I have been getting a lot of questions on my make-up routine, so I thought it would be the perfect time to share it again! Ulta is having a 20% off sale with code 842569. You can see my full skincare and make-up routine here! I linked some Ulta favorites below too! Abercrombie: 40-60% off […]
This week was monumental for me. Something shifted. I started feeling so much better and and after a long drought of feeling unmotivated and uncreative, I hung art and moved furniture and made plans. I'm starting to feel so much more like me which has been refreshing and rejuvenating. One of the places I hung art was […]
The weather is finally warming up here! The girls are running through the sprinklers. We thought it would be a great time to share our favorite outdoor deals!

Le Creuset is having a 20% off sale at Crate & Barrel. They are some of Chris's absolute favorite dishes to cook with. Here is the skillet! The Signature Round 7.25 qt Dutch Oven is also at the top of his list. Linked some more favorites below. You can see the recipe for this sausage and […]
A couple weeks ago during the Chris Cooks Instagram Live, we received questions numbering not a few about which kitchen items I would say are "essential." I've spent a lot of time thinking about this, because "essential" really forces some editing. I have drawers full of utensils. Cupboards full of cookware. A wall of cutlery. […]
Our Ben Soleimani rug is 30% off with code HOME. I have never seen it on sale, let alone 30% off! We have the Honey/Natural. It is so beautiful and durable. The floor lamp and vase are both 30% off, and the faux stems are 25% off with code EARTHDAY. Here are some other great sales […]
After nearly finishing the first phase of our renovation just last month, I felt like I needed a bit of a mental break before diving into something else huge. I know most people wouldn't consider DIYing a closet renovation a "break." But it really has been that for us. (BTW, this DeWalt Gyroscopic Screwdriver has been […]
We recently rearranged our shelves in the office and I am loving how fresh and airy they feel. These wooden balls from McGee & Co. are 20% off right now (along with all decor from McGee & Co). They are a very kid-friendly decor piece. This little wood pedestal is just $16 with code THEGREATINDOORS. We did […]
