Faux Oak Branch | Vase | Serving Bowl | Candle | Dining Table | Chairs (vintage) (similar) | Wallpaper | Gallery Wall | Edie Two-Tier Chandelier After the busyness of summer, fall feels like a chance to really return to my roots of being a homebody. And yet, that doesn't mean I'm home alone just with my family! I love to have people over as well! There are […]
We're coming to the end of Week 3 of Summer School: Home Styling 101! Today I want to share some living room interiors that have stopped my scroll with their use of color, texture, and styling. This is somewhat beyond the realm of what conventionally falls under styling, but something I've been really looking for […]
This week, we're styling living rooms, which is a place where you can really shine! Earlier in the week, I talked about the opportunities you have to style a lot of surfaces, from coffee tables and couches to shelves and mantles. Today I want to share some of my go-to styling products that can make […]
Shop The Living Room Here's the honest truth: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Something that looks beautiful to me is going to look different from something that looks beautiful to you. We all have our own tastes. And early on, I realized that it's not enough for me to look at something […]
It's hard to believe we're three years into designing our moody modern traditional home. Sometimes people will ask me, "What are you gonna do when you're done?" I can't think about that yet — I'm not even close! While I feel great about so many rooms in the house, some are still on the "to […]
As I've been decorating my own home for Christmas, I've been keeping an eye on some emerging Christmas decor trends. It's always exciting to see how trends evolve, especially during the holidays. Here are five trends that have caught my eye—perfect for adding a fresh touch to your holiday decor this year. 1. A Potted […]
Something about me: I love a good Amazon find, and I have a feeling you might too. We've all bought products that end up being duds, and usually, the great finds end up being recommendations from friends. So, I'm happy to come on as your bestie and share with you my top Amazon products that […]
I'm not exactly sure when or how it happened, but somehow, seemingly on accident, I've accumulated a burgeoning collection of one of my favorite home decor elements—coffee table books. My love for beautiful visuals and inspiring reads had unintentionally blossomed into a full-fledged collection. And lately, they've evolved into one of the most versatile home […]
To me, fall starts once the kids are in school, no matter the weather. I get too excited to wait, and I like to enjoy my favorite season for as long as I can. So once September hits, I start transitioning my decor to fall (see the fall bonus room, fall kitchen, and faux fall […]
Sometimes room renovations happen over the span of a few months, and sometimes they take time. Ever since painting the living room, we have been slowly making tweaks and adjustments to the layout and furnishings. The living room started off as a conglomeration of furniture and decor from our last house. But over the last […]
I don't know about you but the hardest thing for me to buy online is mirrors. Hear me out! Images of mirrors online just look like shapes–rectangles, circles, ovals, even organic shaped mirrors could be any size and it's hard to determine the scale! Dimensions, dimensions, dimensions! Sometime's they're not listed with the images and […]
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 […]
In our last home, we shared how our living room evolved over the years and I expect this one to do the same. Although, it has taken a few months to even get this room to a starting point! This living room has seen one, two, and now three layouts since moving in. Besides recently […]
You saw it in Casual Friday first. We painted the living room–like all of it. I chose a trusted color, one I've used before and recommended to many–Pigeon by Farrow & Ball. We first used Pigeon in our home office, 5 years ago and decided it was time for it to make a comeback. I […]
This week, our living room got a fresh coat of paint!! We wanted to do a full reveal today, but by the time everything got cleaned up, the sun went down, so I just have this tiny peak for you today and we'll share a lot more photos next week!! The color is Pigeon by […]
We never formally introduced our new living room, but before we dive in with painting and updating lighting and the fireplace, I thought it would be good to share some before photos. All the art on the walls have actually been hung on nails that were left behind. So, nothing is permanent. When we moved […]
Behind the scenes, we always have way more irons in the fire than we share in any given week. It's important to keep the projects and the business going, especially in these times where lead times are a lot longer. We have trim being ordered for one room, wallpaper being made for another, furniture on […]
We heard you loud and clear and are happy to announce that 3 rugs from our Jules Loloi rugs collection are now available in the 10x14 size! The Jules line is the most budget friendly line out of our 3 collections and up until now, the only one that didn't have a 10x14 available. We saw […]
We started a then and now segment here on the blog once our primary bathroom was finished. Just a fun little side-by-side comparison of our current primary bathroom and our previous one and breaking down the similarities and differences. Today I thought it would be fun to take a closer look at our living rooms, […]
You can find our living room sources here! After the holidays, I shared how I spent some time playing musical furniture (a favorite game of mine), and suddenly home never felt so good. Even our living room, which has already evolved entirely since we moved in, received some zhushing and now all I want to […]
