SEMIHANDMADE
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.

Collaborations
LOLOI
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.

Collaborations
STUGA
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

The Fisherman Aesthetic that Is Making Waves

I haven't released my official 2025 trend predictions, but the fisherman aesthetic is one of the early styles of the year that has completely enraptured me. This trend is a departure from everyone's favorite coastal grandma look, which features Nancy Meyer-inspired whites, khakis, and soft blues. This aesthetic is your Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic […]

Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup (A Twist on Singapore Noodles) | Grain-Free & Dairy-Free

This is the soup I want when I'm feeling on the verge of "under the weather"—not quite sick, but the cold outside is draining me a little bit. There's the feeling that you could get sick. That's when you want a spicy soup. I like this chicken noodle soup with the flavors of Singapore noodles: […]

What I'm Keeping and What I'm Changing About My Personal Wellness Routine in 2025

Every year, I find myself trying another wellness thing. I love habit stacking (pairing a new habit I want to create with a good one I have already established) but I like to take it easy and only add one or two new things a year and really focus on them so they can stick […]
