Y’all…I love this one. SO MUCH! The Elizabeth from my rug collection with Well Woven is here! Just like the other rugs I created, the Elizabeth is named after a character from my favorite book, Pride and Prejudice. Like her namesake, the Elizabeth can’t be put into just one box: she’s multidimensional (boho, eclectic, modern, […]

We moved into this house when I was very pregnant with our third daughter, and one of the main reasons was to give each girl a room of her own. Fast forward to adding a fourth daughter to the family, and now all four would rather share a room for nightly sister sleepovers! While I […]

After months of design meetings, concept planning and a trip to New York to the company’s studio, my custom rug line with Well Woven is finally here!! (See my NYC design trip HERE!) It was such a cool experience to be part of the design process from the start, choosing colors, patterns, textures and even […]

Since we are all staying home more and more these days, I’m trying to find creative ways to make our space interesting, fun and cozy for the kiddos. They currently share a bunk room, and I thought adding a simple reading nook for kids in one corner could be a sweet little spot for snuggles […]

We recently painted the exterior of our brick home to make it feel more like “us,” and we also added cedar shutters. See the finished exterior HERE! Once we did that, our very dark (and very weathered) wood front door no longer went with the exterior of the house. Instead of spending additional money to […]

We have spent some time and budget on redoing the exterior of our home after dreaming and saving for a few years, and it has truly made the house feel so much more like “us” than it did before! We painted the brick [see BEFORE + AFTER HERE] after testing out numerous paint colors [winning […]

We’ve been putting off this project ever since we moved into our home almost 7 years ago, and now we’re wondering why we waited so long! This 2 day laundry room renovation was a long time coming, and it feels so good to be done. Looking back, I think I was (sadly and embarrassingly) too […]

We have wanted a painted white brick home since three homes ago, and we finally took the plunge! Over the past few weeks, we’ve been trying out different tones of white paints and polling my IG buddies [HERE] to find the perfect (for us!) color. We wanted a saturated, creamy, warm white that felt like […]

Hey friends! In celebration of World Book Day, I wanted to share a few inspirational book-loving Instagram feeds! If you have been with me for very long, you know I have a deep love for books. I used to be a high school English teacher, so it goes without saying that books have been a […]

My four little women love to look through Pinterest with me and choose crafts for us to do together. A few weeks ago, they chose a DIY felt flower mobile! The photo inspo they chose were a little advanced for little hands, so we simplified the DIY felt flower mobile to be a bit more […]

During these weird times of self-isolation, I find myself craving a spot of happiness in the form of growing things. Now, let’s be real — I’m NO plant lady. In fact, I’m quite the opposite, actually! I like to refer to myself as “plant challenged,” and I can’t even keep alive succulents. However, about a […]

Hey, friends! Spring vibes are here! Wanted to add a bit o’ green to this gorgeous Amelie mirror gifted by Arhaus, so I grabbed some greenery, floral wire and wire cutters and went to work! I love how it adds a touch of whimsy and spring green to the space, plus the mirror serves as […]
