*This post is sponsored by Lutron Electronics*   Hey hey friends! In light of it being a decade of loving and living in our little bungalow I thought it would be a good idea to have a look at the current state of each room.  This house has changed so much since we moved in and each space has seen many versions of itself over the years as we’ve worked to define what we want them to look and feel like. We all know the motto around here: curating a home is a marathon, not a sprint… and our home has indeed been a very slow marathon of improvement and elevation. We are just about done wit ..read more

Hi friends! Happy 2024 everyone!!  I hope your year is off to a great start!  I’m sure I can’t be the only one wondering where the hell 2023 went, because holy smokes did it fly by!? It doesn’t help that I spent most of the year quite literally flying. 2023 was the year of  traveling  for me, both for work and for play. So it almost feels like I blinked and the year was over.  As we head into 2024 it dawned on us that we are approaching a decade in our beloved home. A. DECADE. It feels unbelievable that we’ve been in this house for so long.  Interestingly enough ..read more

This post is in partnership with VELUX Skylights. Hi friends! Let’s talk one of my absolute favorite subjects: Skylights!  If you’re not new here you’re no stranger to the fact that I sing the skylight gospel every chance I get. They’re just so amazing and today I’m here to share another way in which they’ve made a drastic difference in our home and how we live in it. The one space in our little bunglalow that’s been thebiggest struggle in terms design has been our “dining room”. First of all, I wouldn’t even call it a room. It’s more of a “zone” or an “area”.  We knew there would be ..read more
