White Floral Chandeliers at Every Price Point
There's been steady progress on updating Greta's room: we've painted the trim, installed the wallpaper, and added a new rug. At first, we painted the ceiling the same color as the trim, but it made the room feel too dark. So we pivoted and painted the ceiling back to a creamy white — it immediately […]

Peer Review: Inspiration for Styling a Bedroom
Here's the crazy thing about me and inspiration: If you were to go into my bathroom inspiration board on Pinterest, there are bathrooms for sure, but there are also kitchens, there are closets, there are mudrooms, and there are hallways of houses! I'm not looking to copy and paste an inspirational image. I'm taking notes […]

Solving a Layout Dilemma: Where to put the bed when the windows are off-center?
This post is sponsored by Article Becca, who runs our Good Influence(r) program, came to me with a dilemma: Her bedroom is very long and large — and, as a result, she's not sure about the layout. There are two windows, off center, on one wall and two closets on another wall. She originally positioned […]

Before & Now: The Transformation of Greta's Room
Back in February of 2022, I said (and I quote), "Greta's room is probably the most under-reported room in our house," and that still stands true. This certainly isn't intentional, but I just haven't been able to give it as much time and attention as it deserves. YET... Here's how it looked when we moved […]

Using The Elfa Closet System in Greta's Closet
It's no secret that one of the things I miss the most about our last home is our closet. We used the IKEA PAX system and hacked the wardrobes into our very favorite luxury closet. While we are anxiously awaiting a shiny new closet in this home, I had to show you what we did […]

Before & After: Faye's Whimsical Bedroom
After finishing the Study, I was really craving a home project with a lighter lift (is there such a thing?). Although no project is without its bumps and hiccups, slowing down and renovating Faye's bedroom was exactly what my heart, head, and body needed. It's been an absolute delight working with her over the last […]

Slow Decorating in Our Bedroom
Since painting our bedroom dark brown, we've been taking our time in here. If I'm being honest, I've been in a bit of a creative lull. Which is a scary place to be as a content creator. Just like writers get writer's block, I think every creative gets creative block and I've been trying to […]

Design Tip, but also Dilemma: Where Does the Mirror Go?
I've been in a real pickle in our bedroom when it comes to the mirror arrangement. Across from the bay-window is a large wall that would generally absorb so much light throughout the day! That's what walls across from windows do--absorb the light so much that they can appear flat. It's because there are generally […]
