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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Undeniably, no filmmaker has been more influential over an entire generation of bloggers, ad geeks, and instagrammers than Wes Anderson. From our overhead shots of supplies to our love of Futura, his influence runs deep. And just when we think we’ve got him pegged for tracked out sans serif, he’ll drop a caution yellow script […]
Living in New York with small kids is no easy feat, yet Lora Appleton, founder of kinder MODERN and kinder GROUND, manages to make it look so simple in her stunning space. Settled on the West side of Manhattan, her home is as enchanting as it is elegant. Always mindful of how the pieces she brought home would marry her […]
photographed by belathée There are run-of-the-mill girlfriends, and then there are the ones who will tell you when you’ve got lipstick on your teeth. The ones who will help you get out of that amazing (but snug) pair of pants. The ones who will always make you feel loved (even when your boyfriend doesn’t.) Achelle […]
Hey bookworms! It’s been awhile since our last On My Nightstand, and in the meantime I’ve built up quite a list of recommendations that I’ve been dying share with you guys. From an indulgent cookbook to a tome on wellness eating to the latest memoir from a favorite funnywoman, there are some real gems in this month’s collection that’ll […]
Stepping into today’s colorful abode is at once breathtaking, inspiring, and like a big warm hug that invites you to sit down and stay awhile. That last part is no doubt due to the warmth of its owner, auburn-haired beauty, mother of 3, and talented Austin-based interior designer, Sarah Wittenbraker. Yep, Sarah would be easy to hate […]
From their customizable notebooks to their eye catching stationery, the Austin-based May Designs team knows how to use color and pattern to turn something ordinary into a party-on-paper. With that in mind, we knew we could count on the creative bunch to show us how to host a team-building gathering that’s anything but ice-breakers and trust falls. Their idea […]
