Most of us are pretty “in the box” when it comes to tile. Our artistic decisions usually boil down to choosing between white or ecru subway tile for a kitchen or bathroom. Not to undermine the stress of those decisions (I’ve been there), but there’s actually a much larger world of possibility for the application […]
How do I love thee, Sundays? Let me count the ways… waking up without my alarm, time for cooking experiments and kids’ craft projects, motivation to tackle an organizational project. And then there’s brunch. I love days like this for their sheer unhurriedness — I think that such careful scheduling of my time during the […]
While I’m more of a minimalist when it comes to my jewelry, a simple wristwatch has played a recurring role in my daily accessorizing for years. I’ll be honest, at first I simply loved the way it looked, but once I got in the habit of casually glancing at my wrist to check the time […]
If 2014 was the year I changed my life, 2015 was definitely the year I learned to change my perspective (and quit apologizing along the way). Reflecting on that had me wondering, “What will 2016 bring?” A confession before I dive further: I’m not big on New Year’s Resolutions. The advertisements and overall messages shouting about […]

Sweet, salty, creamy, crunchy — all the things a great appetizer should be! I love experimenting with snack-y bites to serve before dinner parties, and the two main requirements (aside from being delicious) are that they must take 5 minutes or less to make and require no more than a handful of ingredients. These caramelized […]
The Christmas decorations are packed away and although your feet might still be aching from the three weeks you spent tearing up dance floors, the confetti-flecked dust of the holiday season has finally settled. Time to take on the gorgeously blank canvas of a New Year! Of course with every January comes the same old […]
It’s been a while since we posted a mood board as part of our Monochromatic Monday series, but since 2016 has us wide-eyed and hungry for inspiration, we thought now would be the perfect time to share a motif we’re loving: spots. You can’t beat the patterns found in nature, so in lieu of a […]
