The Library
I turned our builder-basic dining room into a lounge-y library, perfect for curling up with a nightcap and a good book. There’s even a secret dog apartment under the beautiful blue built-in!
The Home Office
Our under-utilized guest bedroom was ripe for a massive makeover in the form of a graphic home office. From the IKEA desk hack to the full wall whiteboard, there are tons of ideas to try!
The Master
After sleeping on a floor mattress for the better part of two years I turned my attention to creating a moody master bedroom retreat. The stencil accent wall alone is worth a closer look.
The Girls Bedroom
My girls shared bedroom was nothing but a white box with mattresses on the floor (a theme for me, apparently). See how I transformed it into a magical secret garden at night.

7 Affordable Leather Couches for 2021 (Most With Free Shipping!)
UPDATED MARCH 2021 As promised, I’ve scoured the interwebs and found what I consider to be the seven best affordable leather sofas out there. And… wait for it… most have free shipping! I shared a bit about our ultimate family room plans a little while ago. My aim was to make our home super cozy. The mood board nailed that…
How to Build a Floating Bench (Without Buying Brackets)
When the girls and I decided to redesign their shared bedroom and realized the closet was no longer needed, we decided to turn it into a reading nook. And what’s the most important element in a cozy reading nook? Seating. Big, settle in, practically a bed seating. I’m a beginner builder, but I knew I could easily DIY a…
Summer Strawberry Cocktail (with Lemon and Prosecco)
What’s better than an icy cold cocktail on a hot summer day? Basically nothing. If you are anything like me, summer wakes up your desire for a cocktail on the porch. This past weekend was the unofficial start of summer and we made the most of it by having my family-in-law over for some snacking and…

How to Install Carpet Tiles to Fit an Awkward Space
This post was sponsored by Floorigami My entryway has been rugless for quite some time. The foyer is shallow but long, with a wide offset door and a floor vent under the sidelight. Such an awkward space! I tried a traditional welcome mat but it was just too small. And the dogs would displace it every…
17 Homeschool Room Ideas for Organization, Furniture, and Decor
So many people embraced homeschooling after the whole world changed 18 months ago. We jumped in with two feet last fall and really loved it! But one thing we learned quickly is that you need a dedicated space when it’s time to dig in and work. At least that’s how it was for us. Maybe…
How to Make a Fabric Covered Pinboard
I recently did a thrift flip challenge with my friend Stacy from Peony Lane Designs, and my “challenge” was to transform an old, not particularly nice, hanging rack into… something. If you’re interested in seeing our projects, you can catch my thrift flip video over on YouTube. I definitely didn’t need a rack but I…
How to Make an Ombré Basket
You can never have too many baskets. Baskets are a really useful decor piece! The big ones are perfect for displaying throw blankets, the smaller ones hold soaps, spoons, plants — you name it! The natural materials add a beautiful warmth to any space. Especially beautiful? Those ombré baskets. These are exceptionally well-suited to boho…
How to Make a Seagrass Charger for Under $1: Pottery Barn Dupe
Coastal decor isn’t usually my thing. But in the summer? I can get into it! But since it’s not something I’d use year-round, I can’t justify making an investment in these pieces. When I think about hosting a summer party (I just decorated my kitchen for summer), I always imagine gorgeous tablescapes using these braided…
The Living Room Reveal! Um, Kinda…
Let’s just call this post what it is: a placeholder. Today was supposed to be the big One Room Challenge reveal day for my living room, but life happened. Sold out items happened. Overzealously nailed baseboards happened. I’ve done four of these and finished all of them on time — this one just wasn’t in…
