Can you believe that September has already come and gone? This time of year is my absolute favorite and we've been busy finishing up house projects (the mudroom is officially checked off the 2024 project list!) and launching two new product lines! It was such a surreal moment to see our wallpaper designs on the shelves at Lowes […]
August is my unofficial start of autumn — I don't believe in separating seasons, or holidays, for that matter. I prefer to squeeze every ounce of joy I feel from the day, whether that is a sunny beach day (which is how we started the month!) or a cool early fall walk with Cricket and […]
Although the Christmas decorations have all been packed away, we're still on a high from our holiday break. It was a pretty special year, not only because it was my parents' first Christmas in North Carolina, but Chris's parents decided to fly out for a week, as well! My in-laws stayed in our guest house […]
Side Table | Acrylic Bookstand | Candle Warmer | Picture Frame | CLJ x Lola Blanket | Tabletop Tree | Candlesticks | Wooden Beads 1. Neck Pillow | $59 2023 gave me a literal crick in my neck. FOR MONTHS. (I went to the doctor and it was stress related. kewl) This pillow has been […]
The kids are back in school, the leaves are beginning to turn, and I'm in full-on Fall mode over here, pulling out the faux fall branches and decorating the bonus room for fall. Other highlights from August were celebrating Polly's birthday, finally choosing a color for our exterior windows and trim, and getting started with […]
We only have a few more weeks of summer, and we've been enjoying every minute of summer fun and sunshine while we can. We kicked July off with the start of Color School, which was so incredibly fun! Already thinking of ways to improve it for next summer because we received so much positive feedback […]
With all the progress happening in our backyard this month, the theme around here has been outdoor (if you couldn't tell from all the outdoor posts we've shared). 5 Outdoor Entertaining Musts All About Our Diamond Pavers and Artificial Turf Outdoor Spaces Then and Now Build an Outdoor Space at Every Budget Outdoor Kitchen Plans […]
By far, the most monumental month this year has come to a close. We walked along sandy beaches in St. Lucia with our team, walked all over our new floor pops collection (restock coming soon I promise), and walked right into our Rubbermaid launch. You guys sold us out on Amazon so fast, but keep […]
Sources And just like that, November's over, and we're winding down for the year! November is always our busiest month. We chugged immunity shots (from Clean Juice) multiple times so that we could stay on top of all of our deadlines. We started the month releasing all of our gift guides, and shared a round […]
My favorite month of the year has come and gone in a blink. September is the month where we all slide into our school-year routine and the weather begins to shift. So far fall is playing peekaboo and I'm really fine with it. I'd rather fall be a slow trickle than a big wave that […]
The wallpaper went up in the powder bath yesterday and I couldn't love it more! I let out a huge sigh of relief and LOVE after the first panel went up. I had a couple days of panic after I ordered it because it felt a little bold, but where else can you go bold […]
Was June the most life-changing month I've ever experienced? Yes. But I feel like I've been talking about that day in and day out for 3 months now. So I wanted to to take a breather today and bid farewell to this month in a breezy way--by talking about 10 small things that I loved […]
Chris is an Idaho local (lived here since he was 5!) and I've lived here in southeast Idaho for 15 years! It's a beautiful slice of heaven and we have loved our time here. The pace is slower. The views are wide. The air is crisp and the scenery is breath-taking. We actually get a […]
March was the busiest month of life and work, I think ever? We made some major decisions and announcements about moving across the country and then all the subsequent projects that came with that. The funny thing is, dozens of times a day I still get asked, "Wait?! You're moving! You guys just finished this […]
This month we shared our favorite fall candles, and shared Andi's budget kitchen makeover, and finally made the list of our favorite house-warming gifts. We gave the family room a dramatic makeover and now we hang out down there ALL the time. We laid peel and stick floor tile, and ogled over our finished stone […]
Over the last few weeks we have taken on a very important task--smelling a lot of candles. There's no doubt that one of the best things about Fall are the scents and with so many out there and only a limited amount of weeks, (we're starting TODAY!) we didn't want anyone wasting any time with a sub-par […]
July was filled with highs and lows. It was the month that really felt like summer filled with eating outside and swimming and soaking in family time. But it was also the month our emotions got the best of us. To be honest, we experienced heavy feelings of buyers' remorse as we looked around, an entire year […]
We just returned home from a fun couples' getaway to Chicago to visit our friends Kim & Scott (yellowbrickhome.com) along with John and Sherry (younghouselove.com)! It was a trip that we had been planning since January when we decided we were all such good friends that come from three vastly different places--how amazing would it […]
Happy February! I am recovering from the flu that has hit our town hard. Half of the schools closed, not due to snow like the rest of the country (although we have plenty of that, too) but due to a big flu outbreak. Our family almost escaped without getting hit, but this week Polly and […]
The age old question. Am I right? Or am I right, or am I right? Right? Right? Right? This week I did some experimenting with four different gold spray paint brands I had in my possession--so we could educate ourselves and answer this thing once and for all. Obviously there are more than four different brands […]
