We’re just seconds away from the weekend so we thought that showing you some extremely cool and inspiring DIYs would be a nice way to enter into your days off (if you have them off that is). We definitely aren’t ... The post 10 DIYS The EHD Team Kept Sending To Each Other – The Creativity Is SO Good appeared first on Emily Henderson ..read more

I’m just going to say what some of us are thinking here: Split-level homes are not ideal for a lot of reasons. This isn’t just an empty statement from a design writer looking for something to post about. I know this because I live in one and while it’s mostly fine (and even has its “pros”), it can also be quite frustrating both to live in and also to decorate. So I figured, “Hey, if I struggled with this, maybe some readers out there in a similar style of architecture also do?” Today’s post is going to walk you through some concepts for how to make a split-level or bi-level house and townhou ..read more

I can’t believe it’s been a year and a half since I last talked to you about my kitchen! Honestly, what is time anymore? 2020 feels both like it was 30 seconds ago and that it was 30 years ago. I’m pretty sure this is the longest design project I’ve ever worked on. Four. Full. Years. But it’s done and I could not be more relieved/excited/happy!  The kitchen as it looks today has lived in my head since the moment I first toured the house, almost exactly four years ago (August 2020). I was EXTREMELY lucky in that Londo Lodge was the first house I ever looked at, the first house I ever put ..read more

Happy Sunday everyone! The riverhouse has officially begun getting shot! Not every room and we’ll be taking our time with the rollout but man are we excited to get it all up. Then we are actually all getting to go to the mountain house next week (YAY!!!). As always we are excited to get in some quality team time while doing something pretty fun we can’t wait to show you. For now, here are this week’s links! This week’s house tour is a Tuscan-style farmhouse but done in the most beautiful way. It’s textured and whimsical but incredibly calming. Looking at these photos will lower your stress l ..read more

I’m sitting across my half-baked, honey oak rental kitchen, staring it down from the couch as my left foot rests, iced and elevated. The Bear is streaming on the massive TV I’ve placed on a bench and pushed up against the back of my kitchen island. I tune out the show, opting instead to question this abandoned project and my sanity. About two weeks ago, I took off camping to celebrate a best friend’s birthday and came back a changed woman. But not for the better. The trip started out wonderful—a carefree vacation with close friends, overlooking a beautiful body of water. Paddleboarding all d ..read more

So we know this is another product roundup post but with this one time is of the essence…it’s Prime Day! The deals are hot and don’t last long. I promise you that I searched through pages and pages of products so that I found either pieces we have actually used and loved or ones I genuinely liked and wanted to feature. You won’t find your Clorox wand refills here so let’s get to the good stuff! Chic Black & Rattan Cabinet | Warm White & Honey Cane Dresser | Walnut Mid-Century-Style Bar Cabinet Let’s start with some cute and practical furniture – cabinets and dressers. I love the mod ..read more

Full disclosure, Emily had a really great design post planned for you today but y’all, it’s been VERY busy with basically two weeks of shoots lined up (one might include some river house reveals but shhh! :)) and she understandably needed to postpone. Of course, we didn’t want to leave you without a post so we decided I’d write this one. Here’s the story – I was on Instagram the other day when I was fed an ad from IKEA. Normally, I would scroll past but I was pleasantly surprised by the pieces I saw! IKEA has always had great options (we’ve used them for countless projects) but I just feel l ..read more

When I first moved from my mid-city LA apartment out east to the Pasadena area, the first thing my mother asked me was “How far are you from the Father of the Bride house?!?!?” The 1991 movie that was set in the nearby town of San Marino (though it was filmed in Pasadena) has been a main character in my family’s life basically since it hit the silver screen. Before I knew anything about design, before I knew the name Nancy Meyers (who co-wrote FotB), heck, before I even turned double digits, I knew that the house from the film my mother constantly proclaimed as her favorite was aspirational ..read more

Happy Sunday everyone! A full week back after a long holiday weekend is never easy but when there’s a surprise backyard refresh it eases the blow, right?? Ha. Anyway, hope this weekend has been full of rest and fun summer things. But for now, let’s just hop into this week’s links! This week’s house tour is a brutalist gem! We know this style isn’t for everyone but once you see these photos it will be impossible to deny how special this home is. It’s also another great reminder to visit Portugal:) Go check it out here! From Emily: How cute are these velvet mattes that I bought from Etsy?? Of ..read more

I’ve known for a minute that I’ve “needed” a cute throw-on-and-go flat. Yes, I have my worn-in sneakers, some cute mid-height chunky heels, and maybe two “dressy” sandals. So no, I don’t technically need anything. But look, sometimes you just want to feel put together without donning a heel or showing off your toes, am I right?? Now it’s also summer and I don’t know what the temperatures are where you live but baby it is NOT cold outside. Breathability was going to be a big factor in my ballet flat search. Lucky for me (and maybe you) there are two ballet flat trends that killing the breatha ..read more
