So, what happens when beauty, comfort, AND the right price meet? Obviously it’s a winning combination! The infamous Cloud sofa boasts “the world’s most comfortable sofa” features […]

While planning our kitchen renovation (read more and see reveal here)this spring I knew there were a few updated we needed to make to the breakfast nook. One being a larger dining table. I love RH, especially their dining tables. So much character, so unique, the designs are gorgeous, but often come with a steep […]

Every year I love dressing the porch up for fall. I find myself gravitating towards very similar looks each year. An array of white and green pumpkins, mums, and a planter of seasonal oriental grass or cabbage. I just love the natural and neutral, and I think it’s great to have your exterior match the […]

Should you add beams with 8′ or 9′ ceilings? A design question I’ve gotten quite a bit before. And coming from me, an interior designer/stylist and my midwest, textured 8′ ceilings- I say YES! Not everyone has a grand 10 foot plus ceiling home and that’s okay! It doesn’t mean your space shouldn’t include beautiful […]

I’ve wanted to add box/picture frame moulding to my home for quite awhile. When we recently completed our kitchen renovation which consisted of removing horizontal shiplap for tile, I knew I had the perfect spot for it!

It is no secret I am coffee obsessed. Well, actually iced coffee obsessed. It’s also no secret I end up in the Starbucks drive thru way too many times a week. I’m also a firm believer in creating functional yet beautiful spaces. So, what happens when these two collide? BUILT-IN COFFEE BAR Our kitchen has […]

We rarely use our dining room and at one point never even had one. Our kitchen has the typical ranch style setting with an eat-in kitchen layout. A few years ago we built a built-in banquette bench on our half wall. The other side has our staircase so it isn’t something we’ve ever been able […]

With our recent kitchen renovation I was really excited to upgrade a few old pieces to better quality AND better materials. One of those being our pots and pans. I’ve been using Caraway cookware everyday for a few weeks now, and can honestly say I LOVE them! I’ve been on a cleaner, non-toxic journey the […]

When we started this renovation at the end of April I really thought it’d be a 6 week quick in and out, done. Clearly like most projects that wasn’t the case. They always tend to take just a little longer than we think and somehow cost a little more than we anticipate too. I’m sharing […]
