Phoebe and Henry’s New Playroom!

I’ve loved getting to post the design process behind our upstairs remodel (check out Phoebe’s “Big Girl” room here, and baby H’s nursery here), and today I’m super excited to share our new playroom that’s destined to become the most popular spot in the house as our kids grow. Ever since Phoebe was born, our living room […]

Blooming Jasmine

Is jasmine blooming where you are? The unmistakable scent of the precious white blooms is filling the streets in Texas, and there’s no better indicator of spring. Though it only sticks around for a few weeks here, the arrival of jasmine never fails to fill me with nostalgia and past memories of Mother’s Day, the first […]

Playroom Design & Rug Shopping Tips

Our upstairs remodel has been such a fun design project these last few months… but it’s also a great feeling to wrap them up and just enjoy our new spaces, especially since we’ll be welcoming a new baby home any day now and life is about to get a lot crazier! Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve […]

How to Personalize a Rental

“Rental kitchen.” Those two words can strike fear into the hearts of many renters. The kitchen can be one of the more restricting rooms in the house to decorate, depending on how obliging your landlord is, so it takes a special kind of ingenuity to show your personal style in a rental. Believe it or not […]

Fruity Candy Bar Wrappers

Around here, nothing’s more exciting than getting our hands on a new tech gadget, so when the Sprout by HP arrived on our office doorstep, we couldn’t unpack the thing fast enough. We’d read all about the revolutionary computer’s capabilities and seen lots of other creations by browsing the #sproutbyhp hashtag, but actually getting to use it […]

Loomed

We’ve all seen the Turkish towels that seem to be on the shelves of nearly every major retailer. And if I’m being honest, until recently I didn’t see what the fuss was about… sure, they look pretty, but how can you call something a towel when it’s paper thin and hardly absorbent? Well, since getting my hands on […]

Phoebe’s “Big Girl” Room

I’ve been sneaking little peeks here and there of our work-in-progress upstairs spaces, and I’m so excited to show y’all the first of the finished rooms! Since I hadn’t changed up the decor of Phoebe’s nursery since she was born, we thought it was time for our almost 3-year-old to have a room that was a […]

Take It Outside

Here in Texas there is a small window between sweater weather and too-hot-to-breathe. And that window is here! It’s time to head out to the patio, balcony, or garden with friends for a pitcher of margaritas and make-your-own nachos. If your outdoor space was a bit neglected during the winter months and could use some TLC, now’s the perfect […]

Your Indoor Plant Guide

Is it just me, or are indoor plants having a moment right now? It’s hard to imagine that something as classic and mundane as a plant could ever be “out of style”, but these days nearly every home I visit could be mistaken for a greenhouse — mine included. Just the other day I found myself […]
