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.

The first thing we did before we moved in was paint the walls pink. We chose the color Sulking Room Pink ..read more

If there’s one thing I am experienced at over the past five years, it’s moving! For better or for worse, we have just completed our third move within five years (with two kids and pets!).
In this post, I will teach you everything I have learned about how to pack, how to move efficiently, and settle into your new home quickly. We’ll also cover budget tips and pointers for making the transition smooth for children.
I also have passionate feelings about the best packing supplies that streamline the process—especially if you are doing all the packing yourself!

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!

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. I think it is the most beautiful houseplant!
The plant originates from the southern tip of Africa, and its uniqueness makes this plant a favorite for plant parents. 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.

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

Sansevieria (also known as Mother-in-Law Tongue or Snake Plant) is an amazing plant. The sansevieria originally came from Africa and made its way to Europe in the 18th century.
The scientific name for this particular sansevieria is Dracaena Trifasciata. It has striking sculptural beauty and the care is very simple. I have snake plants in nearly every room of my home and they bring lots of visual interest to the environment!
