This is a collaborative post. All opinions are my own. I mentioned yesterday that I've gotten disillusioned with decorating (and redecorating) the same spaces over and over. But to be fair, sometimes we just want to refresh our home a little bit, even if it's just for our own sanity. I think that's especially understandable right now, after several months of Covid-19 lockdown. We're sick and tired of not being […]

This post is written in partnership with Jaxpety. All opinions are my own. Ok I realize I said in my budget breakdown post that we were calling our kitchen done, but I forgot about one last little detail that we still needed to make our kitchen more finished (and more functional): stools for the island! I held off on this purchase because I wasn't sure what to get, plus we'd […]

Wow, so much has changed in a week and a half. Coronavirus hit Washington state hard, leading to schools, restaurants, dentists, hair salons, libraries, gyms, playgrounds, pretty much everything non-essential getting closed. Many of our friends and family members are suddenly out of work. Ben is still going to the office right now, which is kind of double-sided...we're glad he's earning a paycheck, but a little worried that he could […]

This is a collaborative post. All opinions are my own. Furnishing a house can be really (really) expensive...but it doesn't have to be. Do you know the secret to finding amazing deals on big things like furniture and mattresses? It's shopping LOCAL. Yep, in the age of Amazon I am actually advising you to get off your screens and look in your own city. You'll find better prices on better […]

This is a collaborative post. All opinions are my own. This is for those of you that are recently engaged! Getting engaged is a hugely exciting, life-changing moment. It's a whole new chapter in your life! And telling friends and family your big news is something worth celebrating. For that reason, many people choose to organize an engagement party to make the most of this milestone moment. If you still […]

I know, you might think it's too late in the year to talk about outdoor furniture...after all, yesterday was the first official day of fall and October is right around the corner (whaaat). But if you're a savvy shopper, this is the perfect time to look for deals on outdoor furniture that you can still enjoy for a few more months, and have ready for next summer. We just furnished […]

This is a collaborative post. All opinions are my own. Working from home is awesome in so many ways: the freedom to wear what you want, eat when you want, play your own music, and skip the drama from workplace colleagues. But carving out a workspace at home can be tough, especially if you don't exactly have an entire extra room that you can dedicate as a home office. Without […]

This post is sponsored by Wovenly. All opinions are my own. In addition to your personal goals and resolutions, do you guys make "house goals" for the year? They can be a great way of getting on the same page with your spouse and making a plan to prioritize your home. If you're not sure where to start, let me suggest getting some great rugs. I looove rugs; they are […]

I'm making up for my long blogging break with two posts in a row! We finally finished our breakfast nook, so I wanted to show you guys. It's a tough space to photograph, but trust me, it feels sooo much better in person. If you remember, we moved our old dining table to the living room about a month ago (should I call it the great room now?). We tried a different […]

Thanks to Arhaus for sending me these products to review! All opinions are my own. I've been loving the idea of cozy minimalism lately. It's not about paring your belongings down to the most sparse essentials (only one fork per person!). It's also not adopting some ultra modern style with no pillows or books. It's simply getting rid of the needless clutter that adds visual noise, so your home still feels […]

We are moving onto our next project...the dining room! This room is still untouched from the day we moved in. There's no art on the walls, the light fixture has not been replaced (it's actually a fan, and not a cute one), and we are using the same furniture from our old place. I still love our old dining table, but it's too big for this dining room (plus Ian […]

This is a collaborative post. All opinions are my own. When you dreamed of your wedding as a little girl, you probably had an overall vision. Perhaps you imagined a romantic outdoor garden wedding under twinkling lights, as the sunset turned the sky pink. Or maybe you envisioned an elegant event at a beautiful, high-end hotel, with rose petals lining the aisle and chandeliers sparkling overhead. Or you may have […]

Well guys, we hit the one year mark of living in our house (we moved on July 16th last year)! I wanted to do a tour to show you everything we've done in the first year, but honestly, it's pretty messy on a daily basis (that toddler life) and the thought of cleaning and photographing evvverrryyyy single room seems intimidating. Overall, blogging and Instagram have really slowed down for me […]

This post is sponsored by Bali Blinds. All opinions are my own. The last few weeks have really felt like spring around here, and I am lovvvving it. Not only is the sunshine a mood lifter, but it also means I can let Ian run around in the backyard. That's been a lifesaver for me, as I get adjusted to life with two kids. I've been thoroughly enjoying sitting on […]

Thanks to Cottage & Bungalow for partnering with me on this post. All opinions are my own. I always love discovering new-to-me shops, especially when they carry beautifully designed and well-crafted pieces that you can't get just anywhere. Cottage & Bungalow is my latest find, and I love SO many items that they carry. From craftsman furniture, to artisan-made chandeliers, to handwoven rugs from across the world...every item is handpicked […]

This post is written in partnership with Modernica. All text and opinions are my own. It's March! And I'm doing a giveaway with Modernica to kick off the month! I'm a big fan of Modernica. Their curated selection of products are always beautiful, modern, and high quality--plus they're actually made in the U.S. These aren't cheap, trendy items that will fall apart in a year...they're design classics that are made to last […]

I haven't posted our dining room since we moved in, because not much has changed in there...yet! But it's on my list of rooms to tackle this year, so I thought I'd remind you what it looks like now, and share what I'm thinking for the future. I've been craving spring, so I laid down a breezy white linen tablecloth and arranged some fresh flowers to go on the table. […]

This post is written in partnership with Hayneedle.com. All opinions are my own. I'm taking a break from gift guides to show you guys our living room, decked out for the holidays! I'm not a fan of storing bins of decor for eleven months out of the year, so I'm pretty moderate with how I decorate for Christmas--in fact, we actually don't even put up a tree (are you shocked?). […]

This post is written in partnership with Lamps Plus. All opinions are my own. We recently got a new sofa from an unexpected source...Lamps Plus! And we bought it online without ever sitting in it. Do you think we're crazy??? I admit, I was definitely nervous to get such a major piece of furniture without seeing it in person first...but it turned out perfect, and we have no regrets. Being willing […]

This post is written in partnership with Dynamic Rugs. All opinions are my own. Our current living room is a fairly large space. If we place furniture around the edges of the room, you can't have a conversation without raising your voice to be heard. So I knew right away that it would make sense to break the room up into zones. Eventually, we're planning to have the living room […]

Happy Black Friday! After a slice of pie for breakfast (or two), I'll be shopping for deals on the big ticket items I've had on my wish list. I'm not a fan of spending Black Friday at the mall, but I do love me some casual bargain hunting from the comfort of my own home. One thing I'll definitely be checking out is Modernica's Black Friday sale. I heard they'll have […]

Happy Friday! I'm sooo ready for the weekend, how about you? It's been raining for the last week and the forecast says we have at least another ten days of it, so I'm hoping to get out of Seattle (at least for a day) this weekend. I don't mind a little rain here and there, but this constant drizzle is getting a bit depressing. And I'm kind of jealous of […]

Alright you guys, I finally finished my last trip recap: France. I can’t believe it's been over a month since we got back! We stayed in four very different places in France and drove between them all, so we got to experience a good mix of city and country, mountains and beaches, etc. It was amazing. I know a lot of people would never want to rent a car and drive […]

You guys, it’s AUGUST. Does anyone else feel like this summer is just flyyying by? Normally, I’d be sad about that--summer is my favorite season--but this year we’re going to Europe in September, so I’m kind of okay with time going by fast until then. I’m still planning to enjoy every last bit of summer, but it’s nice having something to look forward to in the fall. Speaking of enjoying […]

After I wrote my post about Amanda last Friday, I realized she had just posted some photos on her blog from the Friday Harbor Be Crafty workshop that I attended! It really was such a pretty event, so I thought I'd share a little recap with you guys, as well. I mean, an old barn with string lights, bunting, giant colorful balloons, and a long table surrounded by mismatched chairs? […]

Happy Friday! I hope you had a great week and have fun things planned for the weekend. First off, I wanted to say I know I've been slacking a little on the blog posts--and I'm sorry...sort of. But not really. It's just been so nice this summer, and I'm thoroughly enjoying getting outside and spending lots of time with Ben. We've been paddle boarding, running along the beach, going for […]

I just realized it's been forever since the last time I did a giveaway. Hopefully this makes up for it--it's definitely a good one! I have been wanting some colorful Eames chairs for a long, long time (remember this post?), so I am super excited to show you my new fiberglass shell chairs from Modernica. I'm in love with them! And here's the really exciting part--one of you will also […]

In yesterday's post, I mentioned that we recently got some wall sconces for our bedroom. Today, I want to show you how they look! I was glad that a couple of you said #3 was your favorite option, because it’s the one that we chose. My favorite too--you guys have good taste! ;) I had worried a little bit about how the cord would look, since we couldn't actually hardwire the […]

I saw a quote one time that said, "The first five days after the weekend are always the hardest." That's definitely how I felt this week! It's always hard to get back in the swing of things, but it’s especially hard after a long holiday weekend. So much to catch up on…so little time. I feel like this holiday season is slipping through my fingers so quickly! I keep seeing […]

I love sharing photos of places that inspire me--and I think it's even more fun when they are homes from different countries. It's so interesting to see how other cultures decorate! For example (although I'm probably generalizing way too much), Scandinavian homes are usually more spare and modern, with lots of white, black, and natural woods, while British homes are usually cozier, with more florals, lace, and vintage details. On […]

Happy Friday! We’re leaving work early today and heading across the state to Spokane (where I’m from). I’m excited to see my family, be in my hometown, and catch up with a few friends I haven’t seen in awhile. Plus, hopefully we’ll get a chance to do some “fall-ish” activities while we’re there! Since we still have to do laundry and pack tonight, I’m keeping this post short and sweet…with […]

Back in January, I shared a tour of photographer Elisabeth Eden's vintage-filled studio. I follow Elisabeth on Instagram and I love her style, so I knew I had to get some photos of her house to share with you all too. And these photos do not disappoint! If you thought her studio was gorgeous, wait til you see this house...I absolutely love it. All the vintage treasures, the personal details, […]

I love design classics as much as the next girl, but I usually don't have the budget for the real thing (okay, I never have the budget for the real thing). So I’m perfectly fine with pieces that are inspired by the classics. If it looks close enough, it works for me! That’s why I was excited to find David Philips Furniture. They have affordable versions of so many of my faves! […]

Happy Tuesday, m’dears. I have a really cute apartment tour to share with you all today! It’s the home of Jenna Fields from the blog Circus of Cakes. It’s full of color, retro details, and sweets (both real and decorative). Jenna had been on the hunt for a 1920's apartment with hardwood floors, a tiled kitchen, and plenty of white space, when a friend of hers signed a lease for another unit […]

Today I’m really excited to share with you guys a beautiful bedroom redesign (complete with before & after photos) and a peek into the whole process, from the team at Decorist. If you’re not already familiar with Decorist, I really think you’re going to love this company! From them: Our mission is to make interior design personal, affordable and easy. We spent a lot of time talking to women across the country, […]

I am writing this post from my brand new desk (woohoo)! I finally set up a little area in our house to be my “home office.” It’s really just a desk and a chair on one side of our dining room, but hey, it’s a lot better than blogging from the sofa...or the floor. So far, I have this desk from Amazon (in white) and this chair from Overstock. I’ll […]

I’ve been a fan of 91 Magazine for quite awhile, so when Caroline contacted me and asked if I’d be interested in having my home featured, I was totally flattered. And a little bit terrified. I mean, our house is nothing fancy, so I was worried it wouldn’t be "magazine-worthy." Plus, I took all these photos myself--which was so scary, you guys! I am no photographer. But I’m really happy […]

As I mentioned yesterday, I’m taking a couple days off of work this week. So what does a girl do when she has a day off? Shopping, of course. My preferred way to shop is online--at home, in some comfy leggings, listening to music with some snacks by my side. So I did a little of that yesterday! And I found a lot of things that I really, really want. […]

Today I wanted to share some photos of my new Moroccan pouf from Lulu & Georgia. I love it so much!! I’ve been wanting one of these for years, but they’re a bit on the pricey side so I've waited patiently until now. I know material possessions definitely are not the key to happiness, but I gotta say, now that I finally have one of my own, it really does make […]

Since today is the last day of 2013 (whaaat?!), I thought I'd do a little recap of the most popular posts on At Home in Love this year! I looked up my top 10 posts by the most views and then I also picked my 10 favorites in a few of the categories that I write about most often. If you've read every single one of these posts, thank you […]

I've got the photos from our Southern road trip uploaded and ready to share! I realized while I was going through them that there a lot of fun places I didn't take any pictures of...and others that I have so many from. I tend to feel awkward pulling out a big camera while eating dinner at a restaurant or browsing a cute shop, plus sometimes I think that can take […]

Hi all! I'm Gloria from Little White Whale, and I'm so excited to be guest blogging for Aileen while she's on her epic road trip! Fall has always been my favorite season since I was a kid (although that might have had more to do with the fact that my birthday is in September), and that love has only grown over the years. It's such a calm period between the […]

I've shared some snippets of my living room (here, here, and here), but so far I haven't shared any of my sofa or the wall behind it. There's been a big blank spot on the wall for awhile--that's why! I have a project planned for that spot, but it's been taking me longer than I expected to finish it up, so when Printic offered to send me some "polaroids," I thought […]

Over the weekend, I came across this darling Danish blog, Mor til MERNEE. I immediately fell in love with the photos of Louise's charming, colorful home, and knew I wanted to share it with you all! I'm loving all the quirky details and retro, feminine elements. Her blog is all in Danish, but did you know that you can put a website url into Google Translate? It's not perfect (some […]

This weekend, I was reminded of when I moved to Seattle seven years ago, on Labor Day weekend, from my hometown of Spokane. I was seventeen and so excited to be embarking on an adventure, living in my own apartment for the first time, and starting college in the "big city." My friends Amy, Angie, and I all moved together and got a cheap apartment near the UW. Our apartment […]

Summer is just zipping right along--I can hardly believe tomorrow is the 4th of July! This week is turning out great for me...we've been a bit slow at work, so not only did I have Monday off, but I also have half days today and Friday. And of course, I get tomorrow off too! It's almost like being on summer break (almost). And the weather here has been g-l-o-r-i-o-u-s! Sunny, […]

One of the suggestions you guys gave me was to share my tips and advice on different topics, such as decorating on a budget. Since that is the only type of decorating I've ever done, I figured it would be a great topic to start with! Sure, it would be nice to one day have an unlimited budget, but there is something about finding good deals and inventive ways to save […]

Thank you to everyone who entered my giveaway this week! I read each and every one of your responses. I'm going to try to put together my FAQ page next week with answers to your questions (you asked me some good ones!) and I definitely want to incorporate the feedback and suggestions you gave me into future posts. So many of you asked to see more of my own home! […]

Last week I introduced one of my favorite online magazines and today I'm super excited to share another that I know you all are going to love. In fact, I'm sure many of you already know and love Rue, but just in case you've managed to miss it, it's about time you were introduced! I've been a fan of Rue since it was launched in 2010, but this issue is my […]

I just discovered the home and work of Kara Rosenlund...where have I been, you guys? Under a rock! In addition to being a super successful stylist and photographer, Kara runs a little travelling caravan of vintage wares, which is pretty much my dream job. And she lives in a charming white cottage on a hill...which is pretty much my dream house! So basically, I’m rather jealous of her. As you can see, […]
