Blog Home — root & dwell

The bedding was given to me by Garnet Hill in exchange for my honest review.

We gave Anchor’s bed a little refresh! It’s no secret that I love linen bedding. It’s natural, breathable, soft, works year-round. Most of all, I love the lived-in, organic look of linen— it always makes me just want to jump right in! So naturally I had to choose this wonderful fabric for his updated bedding! Garnet Hill is definitely my go-to for linen bedding— I can trust that they’re free of harmful substances and I love that they’re garment-washed for extra softness! They also have beautiful color choices.

Library Renovation Progress

Here’s a look at the progress we’ve made so far in the library! Pretty much the only structural thing missing is what makes it an actual library—the built-in bookshelves 😂 That’s up next! But here’s a look at what we’ve done thus far:

Fabric Scraps as Art

Fabric scraps are a great option for unique artwork and a great way to refrain from wasting them. Today I’ve rounded up some inspiration for you guys! I’ve done this a couple times with some of my favorite fabric scraps I had leftover from making pillows. You can use frames you already have at home or search for unique frames at your local thrift store.

All Things Spring Clean

I have to admit I don’t plan to do a crazy spring clean this year. My weekly cleaning routine is pretty sufficient to keep our home in good shape. There are a few spaces/things I will do as a “spring clean”, but for the most part I try to keep up with everything throughout the year. In today’s post I’m sharing links to past cleaning posts, including Spring Cleaning in 5 Steps. I hope these are helpful! Tell me in the comments below if you do a big spring cleaning every year!

Playroom Renovation Design Plans

Since the library and playroom are not attached (thanks to the doorway we added between the two rooms!), we are renovating them pretty much simultaneously. You can take a look at our library design plans here and I’ll put together a progress blog post soon! In today’s post we’re sharing our playroom plans :)

Master Bedroom Updates

We made some updates to our master bedroom recently, the biggest being upgrading to a king bed! It was a long time coming as Anchor sleeps between us every night and it was getting way too crowded in a queen size bed haha We also got some new bedding and did a couple fun DIYs!
