Our new bedroom plans + Skirted Beds at every price point

Our canopy bed in our bedroom was my dream bed. I still remember walking around a crate and barrel a decade ago and seeing a beautiful canopy bed and just knowing one day I'd have one. This home was the first time we had ceilings that felt tall enough to accomodate the bed of my dreams […]

Essential Decor: 6 reasons you can never have too many BENCHES!

Sources We did a furniture reconfiguring in the entry now that the entry side is all finished (doors still need painted and we're missing a few baseboards in the office), and some people were very concerned that we got rid of our bench. Not true! We moved it around to the garage entrance of the […]

Our New Modern Chesterfield Black Leather Sofa

When we were still living in our last home, we purchased an off-white mid-century style sofa that has now lived in our reading room since we moved here. It fit nicely size-wise, but as the room and our style has evolved, it fit less and less in with the vision. We've been on the look out […]

Our New Sectional from Interior Define

A couple weeks ago, the Ainsley sectional from Interior Define was delivered, unboxed and put together in the basement family room by two men in shoe covers wearing white gloves.
