Featuring pillow, mantel wreath, ceramic pumpkins, glitter pumpkin, and gold pumpkin Luckily my baby is due to be born around one of my favorite holidays, which means I now get to celebrate Halloween AND his birthday! Celebrating is a little tricky this year, since I may or may not be in labor, but that is not stopping me from decorating our home and picking out…
After months of piecing together this guy’s room, we are finally ready for him! Interior decorating is one of my favorite things, so of course I wanted to give him the perfect space to spend time in and grow up in. I didn’t want it to feel typical, and when I saw this fox rug I knew I would build the space around it!…
I have a lot of glasses. Like WAY too many. I was so sick of them getting lost in the drawer, scattered and unorganized. I finally decided to take matters into my own hands and search for SOME way to organize the mess. I am so happy with what I found, that I decided to share with you! I ordered this organizer (well, 3 of…
When we bought this apartment (more on that here) we knew the weakest link was the kitchen, and we knew a farmhouse kitchen reno was in order, eventually. While it looked livable, the cabinets were falling apart and from 1999. They were made of a fake wood, and the previous owner put a white plastic coating over the top. We didn’t love the granite, it…
Chandelier | Rug | Table | White chairs | Gold Chairs Since moving in, we focused so much on our living room space, that we didn’t even touch the dining room. It has beautiful light and bright white walls, so it was super fun creating the space with ATGStores.com! They have an endless amount of product on the site, so the space could have gone in…
We started our Sunday off with a fresh new mattress! It was pretty exciting for us, because I’ve had my mattress since I was in (probably) middle school, making it over a decade old. It was time for a change! Most of the reason why I never replaced it was because of the awful inconvenience of mattress shopping (usually in gross weird mattress stores), and…
West Elm Couch | Crosley record player | West Elm media console | West Elm rug | This next week is filled with FUN home projects! Here’s a few before photos, I cannot wait to share the after shots! We are patching up a doorway into our 2nd bedroom (it has 2 doors for some reason?!) and renovating the dining room completely! When we moved…
Instax camera | similar hat Our bedroom furniture is mostly from our previous apartment, but we’ve added and subtracted things that didn’t quite fit. It is (of course) always a work in progress, and I plan to add more to the wall behind our bed, along with side tables and some additional shelving, but it is nice to keep the space somewhat simple and clean! …
Our biggest NO when we bought our home was that it had carpeting. It was an awful creme color filled with stains and it made the entire place feel stuffy. We knew right from the start that we would pull up the carpeting and put in wood floors. In my first home, we went with a more cherry wood, but in this house I wanted…
I am so excited to finally fully share our new living room (you can see the before video here!) We were SO excited to work with West Elm on picking out furniture that feels like “us” since we’ve had mostly hand-me-downs at all of our other homes. After watching Mad Men, we felt so inspired by all of the mid century homes in the show. We knew we…
Oh, hello there December. You snuck up really quickly! 🙂 Here’s a few scenes from the past few days – I have been trying to catch up on work and simultaneously pull my house together before the holidays. It’s weird not having a routine, I think the hardest part is remembering to eat meals & remembering to exercise. As long as those two things happen…
I’ve found that working from home leaves life a lot less structured, which is beautiful. I’ve been embracing it, and loving not having it all together all the time. PJ’s until 1PM? Sure, why not! Here’s some snapshots of what my life looks like. It’s been really fun the past few weeks, really really fun. I was thinking the other day about how quickly time…
We’re not there yet, but we’re getting there! We still are missing our butcher block counter top that will sit in the cutout, and a ton of furniture, but we are close to feeling like this is home! We put in our floors this week (more details on them to come!), finished painting, and this beautiful couch from West Elm came! I will be doing…
Here’s some photos of how crazy my house looks right now, but I still think it looks better than it did when we moved in (haha!) I’m living on the subfloor until the wood goes in this week, which feels… dusty! but i am so GLAD the carpeting is out, and we opened up that wall which makes the place feel totally different. I am…
So, we’re all moved in (or our small stuff is, at least!) We are starting to fix up the house this week, and we have a long list of things to do that should take a few weeks, but wanted to share our home as it is before! It’s funny, because our last house that we bought was really aesthetically pleasing from the get-go, with…
Moving looks a lot like this right now – all of our things are in a storage unit while we renovate the new place, and these are our last few days in our current home sleeping on an air mattress in an empty apartment. hey, at least it looks pretty! i sort of love an empty apartment … guilty pleasures. I’ll be back later this…
After an INSANELY hectic week of my full-time job paired with the stresses that go into buying a house paired with blog work, i am super excited to be headed off to san francisco for the next few days! we’re visiting our best friends and exploring the city! I’ve only been once when I was 14, so any tips on places to go are much…
After months of dying my hair, I finally decided to match my roots and go back to my natural hair color. I could NOT be more happy with my decision. I think that everyone is born with the hair color they are meant to have, and next time i try to dye my hair i am just going to remember that… Another perk of this…
I knew for a while that I wanted to get a tattoo for Claudie on my arm. Aside from my undying love for my doggie, I also love the design of doxies, and pretty much own everything dachshund that I can get my hands on. It was just a matter of letting the idea really sink in before going ahead with the tattoo. Matt found…
I’ve been having a bit of fun adding small touches to our home this past week or so! I’ve added an adorable mirrored bar cart tray, gold stamped an accent wall with some VW punch buggies and added this adorable garland from Paper Fox LA, which brightens up our room! This weekend we are headed to upstate NY to hike and snag some antiques for…
