I’ve been wanting to add a stair runner to our back hallway/mudroom staircase for a while now, and we finally had a couple of days set aside to do it! Chris did a lot of research on how to install a stair runner and stair rods, and we’re going to share every step we took […]
Jules has really been into Brussels sprouts lately (as she showed in our fridge tour), and while she could eat them the same way every day, if I'm gonna enjoy it then I gotta mix it up. Roasted potatoes and Brussels sprouts are a timeless pair - add a roasted red pepper sauce and this […]
One of the most frequent DMs I get is about what sunglasses I'm wearing. When I look at my sunglass stash in my closet, it becomes clear to me that I definitely have a "type" — the large, cat-eye, all-black look is usually my go-to! Occasionally I'll branch out, but I just love the classic, retro […]
Can you believe the end of summer school is here?! What a great ride! I loved sharing my tips for styling entries, bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens to create rooms that you can enjoy season after season. One thing I'm seeing a lot in kitchen styling is making it feel and look like another living […]
July was the peak of summer in all the best ways! We intentionally slowed down a little this month, which included going off the grid at a beautiful mountainside lake and a trip to Idaho to see friends and family. We did a few house projects, like adding wallpaper to Greta's room, painting our front door, and […]

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 […]
Here's the crazy thing about me and inspiration: If you were to go into my bathroom inspiration board on Pinterest, there are bathrooms for sure, but there are also kitchens, there are closets, there are mudrooms, and there are hallways of houses! I'm not looking to copy and paste an inspirational image. I'm taking notes […]
