7 Ways To Make Your Bedroom More Relaxing

This is a collaborative post. All opinions are my own. Interior design is as much about creating the right atmosphere as choosing the right material objects. Although a house should feel cohesive overall, each room can also have a different "mood" depending on its purpose. In a playroom or a home office, you might want a creative, energized vibe. In the bedroom, on the other hand, you probably want to […]

Household Items That Look More Expensive Than They Are

This is a collaborative post. All opinions are my own. Some things, we bring into our homes mostly because they're pretty--things like art, vases, pillows, and decor. Then, there are the necessary things that aren't so attractive. These everyday household items often sit on our counters and our nightstands, messing up our aesthetic with their jarring colors, ugly bottles, and jumbled cords. Ok, clearly there are more important things in […]

Kids Room with Kelly Green Bed

Thanks to the Novogratz for sending me these products to review. All opinions are my own. I'm always on the lookout for affordable shops with good design...and one of my recent faves is the Novogratz shop. We bought Ian's bed and rug from them because they're fun, stylish, and truly budget-friendly (see Ian's bedroom here). Husband-wife design duo Cortney and Robert Novogratz are known for their bold, colorful, artsy interiors, […]

How to Get Your Guest Room Holiday-Ready

This is the first home where we've had a "real" guest room (our last place only had enough space for a twin size bed). It makes us so happy to be able to host friends and family, and we've had a lot of people stay with us over the past year and a half. With the holidays and a few more visitors coming up, I decided it was time to […]

Dining Room Update + Cozy Minimalism

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 […]

Our Master Bedroom + West Coast Style

The Home Depot provided me with product and compensation for this post. All opinions are 100% my own​. For today's post, The Home Depot challenged me to create a room that exemplifies "west coastal style." Being from Washington, I'm sure my version of that is a little different than someone from California, but overall, I think of the west coast as laidback, casual, and in touch with nature. When it […]

Master Bedroom Progress & Plans

This post is sponsored by Bali Blinds. All opinions are my own. Now that the guest room, living room, and family room are basically finished, I'm excited to get started on our own bedroom! We've made the mistake in the past of making the master bedroom our last priority since "no one sees it but us." That's not actually true (everyone wants to see a tour of the house, which […]

Our House! The Before Pictures

We've owned our house for a little more than a month now, and I'm just getting around to posting pictures of it...FINALLY! I had originally planned to take some before pictures once our new camera arrived--but then some friends of ours needed a place to stay so we moved in a little sooner than planned. And then the house wasn't empty anymore and it was kind of messy (the way […]

Modernica Giveaway

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 […]

Decorist Mini-Makeover & Giveaway

Do you guys remember the post I did back in May about a gorgeous bedroom makeover with Decorist? I seriously loved those before and after photos (such a big difference!), so when Decorist offered to let me try out their services myself, I wasted no time in saying “YES!" I’ve been procrastinating/struggling with our bedroom, so that’s the room I picked to get some help with. I just got my two […]

A Bedroom Refresh

Happy first day of April! Over the weekend, I took a few photos of our bedroom to share with you. It’s sloooowly but surely coming along. The newest addition is a pair of awesome emerald colored lamps from Lamps Plus, which I love!! I think they make such a difference in the room (see what it looked like before here). If you can’t afford to totally remodel your whole bedroom, […]

My House in 91 Magazine

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 […]

Shopping for My House

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. […]
