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 […]

Baby Henry’s Nursery Reveal

Okay guys, it’s go-time: I’m having a baby in just over 2 weeks, and the nursery is officially ready to welcome a boy! It seems surreal that we’re so close, but we’re also so excited about his arrival that I’d honestly be thrilled if I went into labor today. I can’t wait to meet this new little […]

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 […]

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 […]

10 Best Bucket Bags

Until recently, I was pretty convinced that my current collection of handbags included something for every kind of occasion. I could stash everything I needed in a large satchels for a full day of errands, and smaller clutches complemented both casual and dressy evenings alike. But, when the bucket bag came on the scene (in quite possibly the biggest way […]

Get Sprung

One swipe through my Instagram feed and it’s immediately clear that spring is here. Pastels and  florals have officially taken over, but I must confess – that’s not my thing. You won’t find many pastels and floral prints in my neutral wardrobe or my home, but I still like to find ways to express my […]

Our New Design Project!

I could not be more excited to share a new house project we’ve been working on for the last few months — and we’re kicking it off today! I’ve been working with the amazing team at RH Baby & Child on some major updates to our upstairs space, and I’ll be chronicling the process over the […]
