Ask me to name my favorite room in our house and every single time the answer will be our primary bedroom. This space took me the longest to source the products for because I had such high hopes for it, and I’m so glad that I took my time finding the right pieces. We wanted this space to feel modern, and transitional, but still cozy – which, frankly, was no easy feat. But the right balance of luxurious bedding, my go-to rug, and high-quality bedroom furniture made it just right. Keep scrolling for answers to a few of the most-asked questions.

Welcome to our brand new nursery, inspired by the Kruger National Park in South Africa. This safari themed bedroom is the perfect escape for baby and was inspired by our South African Safari Wedding. With the sneak peeks I’ve shared, I have received several questions about the space. Keep scrolling down below to find them all answered! FAQs Paint Colors For this space we chose to keep it as neutral as possible. With that in mind, we opted for tricorn black and extra white by Sherwin Williams to match the rest of our home. Of note, we also chose these colors because we t ..read more

I have some V. exciting news to share, Jordon and I are moving! If you’ve been following along with me on Instagram, you’ve likely seen the build updates, but it’s kept J and I so busy that I’ve hardly never found time to blog. Truth be told, we had no desire to move right up until the moment we bought. We’ve loved our first home, because it’s given me my love of home design, us some of the best neighbors ever, and it’s been the place we’ve both lived longest ever since we were kids. We LOVE it here. But, an opportunity came up and truthfully, it couldn’t have been more “right”. So, I’m THRIL ..read more

New linen bedding from Magic Linen! This time has brought out a lot of anxiety and uncertainty for so many. We’re so very fortunate to be able to stay home and safe, but it doesn’t take an expert to realize that the added isolation doesn’t help feelings of anxiety. So, I thought i’d share a few ways that I’ve learned to cope with my anxiety at home. I hope these ideas inspire you to try something knew, or even just take a few minutes for you today. Cook A Meal Sure, I’ve gotten tired of the same old boring meals we cooked night after night just a few months ago. But, I’d be lying if I sai ..read more

Have you been thinking about bringing plants into your home, but don’t know where to start? Or, which plants to choose? You wouldn’t guess it from my Instagram, but I’ve only considered myself a “plant lady” for about a year. In fact, before that I would have told you I had a black thumb. Here’s what I’ve learned in the past year: The type of plants you choose should be determined by how much light your home gets (spoiler alert: we get a lot of light). Are you a beginner, intermediate or experienced plant parent? Know your skills and the amount of work you’re willing to take on before b ..read more

December: The season of frozen eyelashes, curling up by the fire, sipping cocoa by the Christmas Tree and eating more sugar cookies than you ever thought possible — Christmas is here, and i’m all about it. Typically, this is the time of year I start reaching for my holiday candles — but, this year I have a different trick up my sleeve that’s a bit healthier: Essential Oils. Truth be told, I don’t know much about the health benefits of oils, so I won’t pretend like I do. But, I do love how they make my home smell and that they aren’t full of chemicals like most candles. This year i’ve te ..read more

Much like our Fall Decor, Christmas in our house differs from the traditional. We opt for neutral accents, cozy throws and beaded garlands instead of Santas and Plaid Pillows. Everyone has their go-to holiday colors. Ours happen to be whites, creams and neutrals instead of the red and greens you typically might find. This year, we’re leaning into our nordic tastes even more and have decked our home out with pines, throws and wooden accents. And, while it’s not time for me to share our full home just yet (I have a few more tricks up my sleeve), I didn’t want to leave you guys completely hangin ..read more

I’ve recently developed quite the love for Moscow Mules. It started with the classic, copper mugs that they’re served in and grew when I finally ordered one out at dinner one night. With Fall in full swing, I figured it was the perfect time to make my love of Moscow Mules OFFICIAL here on the blog by sharing a seasonal twist on the recipe. I know what you’re thinking – how much pumpkin spice is too much? From coffee to snacks it’s EVERYWHERE. So much so that even I was getting sick of it. But, adding it to this cocktail truly made for the PERFECT seasonal twist. And, it’s so delicious that I ..read more

I read online that because millennials are having kids later and later, their dogs have, in a way, become their kids. From buying homes so their dogs have a yard and stocking up on trendy dog toys like it’s a job the new reality is that DOGS rule the house. And, our house is NO exception. I plan everything around our two rescue pups Tyson and Tillie. J and I LOVE to take them hiking, buy them new toys, get them special Birthday and Christmas Gifts and, the list goes on and on. SO, when I heard that people had started baking their own treats for their dogs instead of buying store bought I felt ..read more

I’ve never been a fan of kitschy fall decor. Well, there was a two year “shabby chic” phase I had in college where I loaded up on faux pumpkins, burlap, and farmhouse signs this time of year. But, it didn’t stick. And, while I’m not typically one to lean fully into seasonal decor. This is our first year in our new home, and our first year hosting Thanksgiving too (send help). So, it seemed only fitting that I try to incorporate a touch of the season into our house. We chose to make a few simple changes by warming up some of our accents, adding some faux fur pillows, and bringing in some fresh ..read more
