A Change in the Dining Room: Our New Dining Chairs
For the past few years we've had a set of vintage chairs in our dining room and I really do love them... at least I love how they look. But to be honest, they are really uncomfortable to sit in for long periods of time. We love to host dinner parties and game nights and […]

Halloween Decor Ideas for a Traditional, Spooky Vibe
I tend to go for a traditional, elegant, and spooky approach to Halloween decor rather than a cutesy vibe. I want it to feel like my house is really abandoned!! Imagine if my home had been left untouched for 150 years...that's the look I'm going for. We're talking cobwebs, spiders, bats, ugly pumpkins with warts, […]

All the Heart Eyes for These Wayfair Finds
This post is sponsored by Wayfair I'm in my fall feelings right now: Give me all the dark mahogany wood tones, the colored marble, the antiqued lighting...but with a modern vibe. I spotted a vanity at Wayfair a few days ago that I sent to all of my work girlies because it was THAT. GOOD. […]

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 […]

Large Art: When to Hang It And Where to Buy It
Art can transform a room, adding personality, depth, color, character, and more! Equally important to what you hang in your home is the size of what you hang. Gallery walls have been all the rage for some time, and while I love a gallery wall moment, I think it's nice to switch up how we […]

A Ceiling Fan Show and Tell
I've never been much of a "ceiling fan in the bedroom" type. I find white noise very irritating and since I wouldn't use the fan function, I don't usually hang them! That being said, a fan in a home gym is something I find to be totally necessary! When I was searching for a fan […]

Wrapping Paper & Ribbon – A Few of My Favorite Things
I think there's something magical about taking the time to make the presents feel unique and intentional and just as thoughtful on the outside as what they are unwrapping. There were many many years where I didn't put as much thought into wrapping gifts. I'd grab whatever paper we had and scribble a name with […]

Casual Friday: Best of September, Including Our New Favorite Kitchen Appliance, and A Game We Can't Stop Talking About
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 […]

It's Fire Pit Season! Which one will you be sitting around?
We're welcoming fall by lighting up the evenings with the glow of our fire pit. In Idaho, fire pits were more of a summer evening event. Fall was too cold to be out in the evening without being bundled with a coat and blanket. It's magically different here, and the subtle crisp evenings are just […]
