The Plans for The Lake Room at the A-frame
This post is sponsored by Artfully Walls Our a-frame has undergone a lot of big changes over the last few months but perhaps the one we're most excited about is the addition of an entire bedroom/bathroom downstairs. Not only can we sleep additional people, but this one large open space seems to have a lot […]

A Gallery Wall of Favorite Toys for the Playroom (+ a Coupon Code to Mixtiles!)
This post is sponsored by Mixtiles. There's a special offer for ALL of our readers at the bottom of the post. There has always been a blank wall in the corner of the playroom that I've been meaning to tackle, but just kind of waiting for inspiration to strike. And then last week, I thought, what if […]

How to DIY an Art Ledge
This post is in partnership with MINWAX®. Ever since we made the art ledge in our living room four years ago, we've loved seeing them pop up in so many of your homes. They are such a functional way to display art, but finding one that is the perfect size for that wall in your […]

21 Fine Art Pieces For The Bathroom
You know what I love in a bathroom? Art. Hard pass on punny prints or bathroom reminders (wash your hands!)--but give me all the fine art. For some reason, it's unexpected and it can elevate the (likely) smallest room in your house so quickly. Our entire master bathroom was inspired by a vintage waterscape painting […]

New Abstract Art In the Bedroom
A few weeks ago, we shared a big, fat bedroom progress post. It was actually sponsored by Loloi, who provided the rug for our room, and I felt like I needed to have something above our bed for those pictures. So I ran down to the guest room and grabbed my favorite cloud print that we have […]

Stacked Art For Our Bedroom!
This post is sponsored by Artfully Walls. Our last bedroom was pretty amped up in the art department, with a whole sprawling gallery wall over our bed. As soon as we cleared the room, and painted the walls much lighter (Benjamin Moore's Olympic Mountain, read more about that here), we've been enjoying the much calmer, […]

A Fun Place to Hang Pet Portraits
When our first dog, a large Great Pyrenees named Charly, passed away last year, we received a beautiful (and crazy accurate!) watercolor portrait of her from talented artist, Jamie Clark. After we adopted Willow, we added her portrait to our collection. I actually CRIED when I opened it and saw the paintings side by side, […]

Modern, Inexpensive, Large-Scale Portraits--Updated!
Over three years ago, I photographed our, then, two little girls in a simple and modern way, and blew them up as engineering prints and the result took the internet by storm. The project has been shared and duplicated hundreds of thousands of times and today, I thought I'd share a little update. Because they grew up […]

We're Having A...!
Dress sold out (similar) I snapped this photo on Sunday afternoon, the day before we went in for our ultrasound. Besides my little bump, you can also see our house on a normal day, with little dolls strewn about and a jacket wearing the furniture. I was feeling very anxious that day. Even though we were 18 weeks into […]

My Favorite Labor Day Deals for the Home
It's been a crazy 24 hours around here. We got home from my niece's wedding just in time for Greta to get what seems to be a 24 hour flu. She told me last night after an especially bad episode, "I feel like a wrecking ship." This morning she is feeling better and we're all […]

Message Art For the Home
A couple weeks ago, I ordered this light up marquee sign and it has been a fun addition to our decor, and at night, it's extra special to have the light on. It runs on batteries, or you can plug it in, so it doesn't have to be close to a cord which is nice. This […]

Art Parade On The Range Hood
I've been thinking for some time it might be nice to have a piece of art hanging on the range hood cover we DIYed last year. It's a large, 60" wide hood that we added some slim, pencil trim to, but other than that it's pretty simple. On one hand, I don't think everything needs […]

The Evolution of The Entry + $500 to Minted
Our entry has evolved so much over the two years that we have lived here (check out the full evolution over on Instagram today! @chrislovesjulia), probably more than any other space, and with each tweak it gets functional for us and more beautiful, too. Most recently, we swapped out the mirror for a full length […]

DIY Large Stretched Canvas
You may have caught that we moved the painting that was originally on the entry wall into the study a few weeks ago. It fit the vibe so well in there and the size was perfect for above the couch. I broke my rule of No taking items from one space to decorate another, but in this […]
