Spring has arrived and the weather is finally getting warmer!  That makes this a great time to spruce up your front entrance and exterior of

I'm working on a room for two girls to share at a beach house so I put together this mood board for my client to get a sense of what direction we are going in. I want the room to have a coastal vibe without beating you over the head with beach, you know? I also want the space to feel feminine without being too girly. My favorite way to do that is to add light blue. I just love light blue for girls. And lastly, I want the room to be one that can grow with them. They're i

I like to think that I am relatively up on the latest design trends and lingo as much time as I spend reading/watching/thinking about interior design. That said, I've been on a major hiatus the past few years since having kids so I'm cutting myself a little slack! Anyway, about a month or two ago, I found an Instagram account that I was really enjoying - Hygge_for_Home. There was just something about the super homey vibe and the coolly edited photos that I was really diggin

Last week I posted about a new (old) rug that I put in our kitchen. I was super excited with the small (and free!) improvement the rug made to our space. But then reality set in when the kids ran through the kitchen... Anyone else feel my pain? We have beautiful original hardwood floors throughout our house. They are so pretty to look at but when we first moved in, we had to spend a lot of money on rugs to ensure the house felt cozy and warm. Luckily I had a bunch of my gr

To me, Carley Page Summers is an interior styling magician. She has this way of transforming a white box into this incredible space layered with texture, warmth, color that feels totally authentic and original. The textiles alone in her spaces are to die for. Throw in some truly unique furniture and accessories and voila! If this isn't eye candy for your Monday, I don't know what is! Every time I look at one of these photos again, something different catches my eye. Init

It's all the rage now to have a vintage rug in the kitchen and I have to say I am totally on board with it. The rugs bring such warmth, color, and softness to an otherwise utilitarian space. Just look at a few examples of how these rugs really make these kitchens: {via the kitchn} {via Carley Summers} {via Domino} {via golden girl crush} We have beautiful original hardwood floors in our kitchen and I have felt like a vintage rug would look GREAT in there! My husband is not

I'm a big advocate of mixing pillows for a collected look. I think it adds such visual interest to a space and prevents spaces from feeling over-decorated. To get the gist of what I'm talking about, here are a few images that inspire me: {Studio McGee} {Furbish Studio} {via Nesting with Grace} (Mark D. Sikes} Achieving the right mix is easier said than done and is something that I have been working on for a while in our own home. I have a couple of theories about why it is

It's hard to believe that we are finally nearing the end of winter and that Easter will be here in just a couple of weeks! If you're like me, you'd like to avoid filling your kid's Easter baskets with a bunch of sugar. Goodness knows they will get enough of it at the 35 egg hunts that you will inevitably attend in the next few weeks. In honor of the upcoming holiday, I've pulled together some cute, budget-friendly and candy-free ideas for you to stuff your little one's bas

We have a small, awkward window in our upstairs guest area in our 1920's bungalow. In order to give guests privacy and to maximize the
