I’m excited to share a tour of our 5-year-old daughter’s bedroom with you today! She asked for a princess bedroom and we created a room for her that has lots of whimsical, princess-inspired details and also room for her to grow and evolve in the years to come. I love to go all in when decorating, but also leave some flexibility to add more details as children grow. More children’s rooms: 50 Kids Room (and Nursery) Ideas, Kids Shared Bedroom, Reconfiguring a Closet, Daisy Painted Wallpaper. The first thing we did before we moved in was paint the walls pink. We chose the color Sulking Room Pink ..read more

One of the features we love most about our historic home from 1904 is the entryway. Since we had our floors refinished before moving in, we also removed the stair runner that was previously there. We knew we wanted something clean and fresh that matched with the era of our home. Before we even moved in, one of my nieces asked if she could take her prom photos on these stairs—which is probably the greatest compliment a staircase can receive, don’t you think? We wanted to bring her back to her historic glory! More Home Decor Posts: What Increases the Value of Your Home?, Finding the Perfect Whit ..read more

The String of Pearls, also known as the Curio Rowleyanus, is a unique trailing succulent. If I were to name one plant that has my heart, it would be this one.

String of Pearls is a creeping succulent that has green balls for leaves (they look like peas)! In this post, I am going to share some tips on caring for a string of pearls. I will also share some other species of this plant family at the end of the post. Related: Love plants ..read more

Is there a perfect houseplant? Something easy to care for, can grow for years and has a timeless beauty? I think the rubber tree ticks all of those boxes. This tree has glossy, thick leaves and makes quite an impression in any room. My favorite rubber tree is in a scene from the movie Sabrina with Audrey Hepburn. In the scene, they are having a lavish party and there is a beautiful, tall rubber tree in the room. That rubber tree is definitely a plant goal for me. Maybe someday mine will get that big and beautiful! With proper care, the tree can reach up to 10 feet tall (sometimes taller ..read more
