Our shoe closet is probably the most functional thing I dreamed up for our new home and I get a ton of questions about it every time I share it on my stories, so I decided to put this blog post together!In our last home, we had a small "coat closet" at the bottom of the stairs that led to our garage, but for the first few years of living there, we ...

Studio McGee for Threshold at Target: My Picks
One of my favorite interior designers is Shea McGee of Studio McGee. I have followed her for a few years now and always admire the spaces she creates. I even had Harper's room painted the same shade of pink Shea used in one of her projects (Benjamin Moore Melted Ice Cream). The McGee's also recently completed the construction of their own custom ...
How I Purge & Organize My Closet
We've lived in our new home since last November and I hadn't quite gotten a handle on my closet until recently. It's a touch smaller than our last master closet, but we shared that one and my husband has his own closet now which is nice!

We purchased it before we moved into our new home last November and it’s our weekend latte go-to. (floating shelf sources ...
How to Do A Manicure at Home
I have always painted my nails at home - I find it easy, cost-effective and can usually make my manicures last about a week.I recently added a new step to my at-home manicure routine that has made a big difference in how "polished" (no pun intended) my manicure looks. I finally invested in a few cuticle tools that have made all the difference. I ...
Spring Home Decor Finds
Being at home 24/7 has led me to scour the internet for items to enhance and complete our spaces. I put our entryway wallpaper install as well as some curtain installs on hold, so I'm trying to find small things to add a little cheer to our spaces before we can get to some of our larger projects. I recently purchased new pillows for some of our ...
How to Stay (Somewhat) Sane While Social Distancing + Working from Home
Social distancing is absolutely the right thing to do - but that doesn't mean it's easy. I'm an extrovert and thrive on interacting with others and routine, so being home 24/7 is challenging in some ways. However, we're trying to make the best of it. This post is geared towards parents who work full-time outside of the home and are now faced with ...

I really love a lot of the spring collection ...
More Kids Activities While Social Distancing & In Quarantine
Last week was our kids' Spring break, so while we were at home 24/7, we didn't really have structure in our days because we wanted them to have fun. Now that Kevin and I are both working full time from home, we need to find ways to keep our kids engaged and entertained, while also having scheduled chunks of their day devoted to the ...
