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…
Can you believe I’m already more than halfway through this thing?!? Yeah, I can’t either. It’s been the slowest, quickest few months. In so many ways it flew by and in so many others it has gone soooo slowly, but it seems like I am finally in the fun part – being able to feel baby & see my bump grow! I cannot believe that…
BOY! … Let me just preface this and share that Matt told me my neck looked ‘freakishly skinny’ and that’s what made me crack up in this picture. hahahah! It does look weirdly small compared to my growing belly, maybe? So funny LOL. We are so excited to finally share that we’re having a little man! I knew from the get-go he was a boy,…
Thanks SO much for all of your sweet comments. 🙂 So I don’t want to bore you guys with pregnancy ramblings, but I absolutely love reading back through the archives of the bloggers I follow to when they were pregnant, so I will update you periodically. Let me know if you’re interested or not! 🙂 Here’s a list of some things that people keep asking…
This has been one of the hardest secrets to keep (& I am an AWFUL secret keeper) but finally we can share our biggest secret ever… we made a human, we’re pregnant! Baby Degreff is due in October!! We’re SO excited to grow our clan (well, maybe Claude isn’t excited to not be an only child-dog haha). The thing I didn’t realize before becoming pregnant…
At an event this week, the topic of pushing your Instagram posts to Twitter came up. People said they were frustrated, because when they automate their Instagrams to Twitter, all they are able to post is a link (like below). Everyone knows tweets with images perform better, so this can be frustrating! Today we’re going to fix this! Have you heard of IFTTT? It stands…
Hi Guys! I figured since I work in social media, I would take a few minutes to write this post and explain WHY you should absolutely NOT turn on post notifications, or listen to the 8 million posts in your feed requesting this. Algorithms (similar to the Facebook News Feed) show you what you want to see. This means if you “like” someones posts who…
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…
Yes, we are that cheesy couple who were married on Valentines weekend. 😉 I cannot believe how fast time has flown by. I mean it has, and it hasn’t. Year one was tough, nobody warned me how tough marriage can be and my expectations were super high going into it. but we got through it. And then year two… year two was amazing. it’s like…
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…
On Sunday Matt and I went on a double date brunch to MIUSA in Williamsburg. It was lovely seeing our close friends who we haven’t caught up with in too long, and my french toast was so yummy. As overplayed as Sunday brunch is, I LOVE IT. We shared mimosas, bellini’s, and coffee (perfect combo, right?!) Later on in the evening Matt and I finally…
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…
