Casual Friday : Kids and Renovating & More
We get asked often if our girls are interested or involved in what we do and the answer has always been, "not really." They have their personal passions that we nurture and don't force design, renovating or home decor interests in their direction. But Polly. Polly, our sweet 2 and a half year old has […]

How To: DIY Canvas Floater Frame
Our oldest daughter, Greta (10 this month!) has a real passion for horses. She's taking riding lessons and learning so much that I have a feeling our pasture in the backyard won't be empty for too long. So when it came time to choose art for her room, horses were a natural choice. I went […]

How to: DIY Over-Grouted Stone Fireplace! (For Under $200!)
This post is sponsored by Lowe's. Our bedroom has undergone a lot of changes in the last six months, but I think our fireplace has gone through the most changes.

How to Put on a Duvet Cover In Under 3 Minutes (Without crawling inside!) So EASY!

Julia came with me to see the house that had made my heart flutter when I saw it on Zillow just the evening before. We walked into the door and this was our view. Except...of course it was empty and one wall was painted an "accent" sage green. (That was painted within three days of […]

All the Details About the Stone Checkerboard Floors In The Dining Room--They're Finished!
The dining room floors are done and we're in love! We went with a checkerboard pattern on a diagonal using a more natural-looking stone (as opposed to a stark black and white), but they're actually matte porcelain tile from Bedrosians!
