We have finally started on the nursery! Plans have changed a bit since my original design. We thought we were going to start the nursery before the baby came and since we didn’t know if the baby was going to be a boy or a girl (it’s a boy!!) we kept it pretty neutral. I’ve decided to make a few changes, adding in some dark touches, a built-in bookcase and custom reeded detailing to the closet doors which we will change from bi-fold to French.
Read MoreWe are in the home stretch with the playroom!! All the structural pieces are pretty much done—now the fun part: decorating! In today’s post we’re sharing all the details on part 2 of our playroom renovation. If you missed part one where we talk about the floors, windows, paint and more, you can catch up here.
Read MoreWe have made a lot of progress in the playroom! It may not seem like much, but we did big things including creating an opening and installing a new window which makes such a difference in the lighting we now get in there. In today’s blog post we’re sharing the details on everything we’ve done so far!
Read MoreIt’s officially summer break here which means lots of outdoor time! I love being able to walk right out our back door and enjoy our yard. We did a good clean up of our patio and deck so we can start enjoying it ASAP. We plan to do some major renovations to it in the next few years, but for now we will enjoy it as is.
Today I’m sharing some elements we found over the years that help to create the perfect outdoor space.

Read MoreThe garden is all tidied up for the season and we added a little something extra— can you spot it?! Here’s a look at last year’s garden updates and our initial garden build here.
Having the garden prepared really signals the start of the season for me and it brings us so much joy as a family. It’s such a peaceful spot to walk through each day, and once things start growing Anchor really enjoys checking in each day to see what he can harvest (aka eat right from the plant and the harvest never makes it inside)!
Read MoreLayered lighting—one of the top things I think about when designing a space! I’ll be sharing what it is, why to do it and how to achieve it in today’s post!
Read MoreLast week I shared an instagram post talking about the “red thread” in a home- thoughtfully tying rooms in the home together with specific colors, materials or style. I figured I’d go a bit more in depth in a blog post since it’s such an important part of designing a home.
Read MoreWe got so much great feedback on our last “look we’re loving” post and so appreciate it! We are excited to bring you another one—all about reeded and fluted detailing, a look I’m sure you’ve been seeing around!
I’m really loving when it’s added subtly and intentionally to a space, as a surprise detail. It can really add texture and interest to a space or piece. It can be seen as wall treatments, on doors, cabinetry, furniture, molding, lighting, glass and more. Below I talk a bit about the difference between reeded and fluted design, spaces these looks can be added and lots of inspiration photos, of course!
Read MoreArt has a very special place in my heart. I’ve always been an artist and went on to major in both illustration and graphic design in college. I so appreciate thoughtful art in a home— when it’s not mass-produced it creates a personalized, one-of-a-kind vibe in a space. Also, when you buy directly from an artist it creates that special connection to the art, really making your home look and feel intentional, purposeful and unique.
