Before and Now: Celebrating the Small Changes in Our Primary Bedroom
There are some rooms in our home, like our bedroom, that have changed so gradually over the last two and a half years of living here that we never really do a before and now post. This feeling of needing to add value constantly has unknowingly caused me to dismiss sharing an update of our […]

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 […]

Do You Keep a Dresser in the Bedroom?
Do you have a dresser in your bedroom? We swapped in a leaning floor mirror in our bedroom where our dresser used to be and you have questions about the dresser! Where did it go, where is it now? Short story is, we sold it. In it I kept my pajamas, workout clothes, and underwear […]

Well, I Found the Perfect Floor Mirror for our Bedroom

We Painted our Bedroom Dark Brown and couldn't love it more.
I haven't been this excited to share photos with you in a while. I've been itching to paint our bedroom a rich, dark brown and after a rollercoaster of decision paralysis (you can see all the options we were considering here), we settled on one that feels so right. Our bedroom has been light and […]

We added Beadboard to our Bedroom Ceiling! (Here's how!)
Back in 2019, I wrote a post call Look Up, Ceilings Matter. It was filled with inspiration and thoughts on how I wanted to stop neglecting our ceilings and really start incorporating them into my design plans for our spaces. Since then, we've wallpapered ceilings and painted them and planked them and added beams. And just […]

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 […]

I moved our new bed just to entertain the idea...
We shared a sneak peak of our new skirted bed in our Instagram stories including the journey of getting our sleep number to fit inside of it, but we wanted to share a bunch more photos of it in our room today...with a new arrangement. EEEeee! Our new bed slipcovered bed came last week and […]

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 […]

A few changes in our bedroom!
In yesterday's blog post I mentioned that we had a big photoshoot in our house over the last few days. It has been a whirlwind of excitement but the unexpected benefit to come out of it was that I could no longer delay adding some finishing touches to our room. It has been a bit […]

Our Two New Olive Trees (One Real and One Faux) and a Round-up of the best at every price point!
A couple YEARS ago we did a post--olive trees are the new fiddle leaf. It was shortly after we got this faux one for the living room in our last house. We did a small roundup of favorite faux options but to be honest, at the time, hardly anyone was selling them. Now, fast forward […]

Our New Canopy Bed--How it got here and why it's never leaving.
When we were living in our first home in Utah 9 years ago, we have a photo of me laying on a canopy bed in a Crate & Barrel store, dreaming away. The reality was, a canopy bed wasn't going to work with our barely 8' ceilings and the same story applied in our last […]

How to: DIY Over-Grouted Stone Fireplace! (For Under $200!)

We initially thought about tearing it out completely and re-doing it in a far simpler fashion, but against all odds--I'm attached to it. It's real […]
