Get The Look: Modern Bathroom Update

Get The Look: Modern Bathroom Update

November 7, 2022

Easily update your bathroom with this modern bathroom design. The wood detail on the vanity adds warmth to the clean modern lines and overall industrial aesthetic. The concrete and metal are softened by organic textures and a curved soaking tub. The blue herringbone backsplash tile adds unexpected color to keep things interesting and the color is repeated in the runner.

Get The Look: Fall Dining Room

October 17, 2022

This dining room is designed with fall entertaining in mind. A large dining table with upholstered chairs and a bench comfortably allows seating for up to 8. The large buffet is perfect for serving cocktails or yummy pies and desserts. A beautiful and affordable rug adds a grounding layer to anchor the table. Instead of a traditional art piece between the windows, I created a feature using wall-mounted taper candleholders.

How to DIY Built-Ins, According to Someone Who Did It

How to DIY Built-Ins, According to Someone Who Did It

April 11, 2022

Built-ins combine form and function, adding an elegant finish to any space, from an office to the kitchen. They also add a chunk of change to the household improvements budget! Fortunately, you can get the look of true built-ins with basic bookshelves you can pick up today and a dose of creativity and imagination. Blogger Amy Bennett did just that. When she and her family moved from Missouri to Oregon, their new home had a large master bedroom with a huge closet. The dressers easily fit in the closet, so they had an open space in the bedroom proper that needed… something.

DIY Pantry Refresh For 2022

January 24, 2022

At the end of 2021, I started shopping at Costco and that is when I realized I had a big problem. I had nowhere to put my monthly haul! My pantry is a decent size but it only had four 12” deep wire shelves and we used up that space pretty quickly. This year, I decided I needed to focus on storage since we are bringing a new baby home in just a few months. So, at the end of my second trimester, I got to work on giving our pantry a refresh.

Get The Look: Conversation Area

April 26, 2021

I am sharing this relaxing conversation area design I created. This set up is perfect for having a cup of coffee or drinking wine with some friends.

All you need is 4-5 comfortable chairs (I like mine to swivel) and a round coffee table. I hope this post encourages you to try a new layout in your home!

Easy IKEA Billy Bookcase Built-In Hack

January 11, 2021

When I was a little girl, I dreamed of having a house with its very own library — A place where I could hide away and embark on adventures in many different worlds without ever leaving my home. Now that I’m grown up, I still secretly wish for a library in my home. Unfortunately, my budget doesn’t allow for it. However, I wasn’t about to let silly practicality and financial constraints stop me from enjoying a small piece of that childhood dream. I’m excited to share my IKEA Billy Bookcase built-in hack with you.

13 Faux Greenery We Are Loving Right Now

October 8, 2018

Anyone that knows me knows that I am a huge fan of live greenery. I love how plants bring life to a boring room and provide interest. They can be used to create a statement (hello Fiddle Leaf Fig) or as a sculptural accent, like the gorgeous upright foliage of the Snake plant. Sometimes there are places that just do not have the right lighting conditions for plants to thrive. Maybe you work long hours or travel a lot and can’t keep up with watering but still crave that unique character plants bring into your home. This week I have put together a list of 13 faux greenery that we are loving right now.

Lounging In The Sunroom
May 19, 2025

Sunrooms connect indoor and outdoor areas. Due to their resilience, I recommend selecting durable outdoor materials such as teak, aluminum, and resin wicker when choosing lounge furniture for this space. Creating a cozy atmosphere will enhance your sunroom's beauty while protecting your furniture investment.
