Dressed in Red, White & Blue

When it comes to my Fourth of July outfit, I like to let my preppy side come out. There's nothing like a classic red-and-white stripe. I love a slightly oversized American flag sweater or top, and I'm dipping into the boxer short trend a little bit — what can I say? They're so comfortable, I […]

My Favorite Picks from Target's Studio McGee Fall 2024 Collection

Today Studio McGee launches their fall 2024 line for Target, and let me tell you, this collection is really really good. Yes, I hear you, summer is barely upon us, but these items will sell out so it's worth it to think ahead and scoop up the things you love. And even though there are […]

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 […]

How We've Used Melamine Over the Years

We divvy out chores in my household, and honestly, the kids have loved to help from a young age. When Greta was 2 or 3 she started unloading the dishwasher, just because that's what she saw us doing. Now it's Polly's chore to set the table for dinner because our older two girls walk the […]

Rounding Up My Favorite Moody Lanterns

It's been three years since we moved into our home and one year since we did our exterior renovation, but there are still a few outside updates to make. One of those is replacing the front porch lights. They are so massive — I've never had such big lights!! They came with the house, and […]

My Outdoor Planter Round-Up (And Why We Don't Have a Garden)

I am really inspired by a mix-and-match approach when it comes to outdoor planters. I don't want all of my furniture in one room to match; I want it to look collected. I feel the same way about collecting pieces outside. Mixing and matching outdoor planter materials can make for beautiful arrangements. Shop This Corner […]

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 […]
