Last weekend, I attended the Round Top Antique Fair in Round Top, Texas for the first time. I had always wanted to go and have friends who went each year, but they typically went on weekdays and I always thought weekends might be too busy. I’m a little bit sad I missed so many years of attending – it was a really fun experience and the perfect ...

Reupholstering Our Spindle Chairs
Thank you Serena & Lily for gifting us the fabric for these chairs! When we moved into our third house, I purchased a pair of spindle chairs for our living room (FYI Serena & Lily carries beautiful spindle chairs!) I absolutely adore this classic style and they're actually incredibly comfortable! We've had these chairs for over five ...
Favorite Mirrors for Bathrooms & Power Rooms
The title of this post is misleading because these mirrors can truly be used anywhere. Bathrooms, bedrooms, above dressers, console tables - anything goes! I have these beautiful wavy mirrors in Harper's room and they make such a statement! I also have this floral gold mirror in our power bathroom - it's small but packs a design punch with ...

I've seen it become more popular in recent years and was intrigued - especially when homes with mostly white walls had doors in shades of blue and gray. We recently had our entryway wallpapered in this Serena & Lily Priano wallpaper and the moment it was ...
Lincoln’s Room in Our New Home
I finally put the finishing touches on Lincoln's room and can't wait to share the full reveal today! The only items I'm missing are a piece of art above his dresser and the bamboo woven shades that have not arrived yet. One of my favorite things about this room is how light and bright it is. I contemplated painting the walls a very light ...
Our New Home: What I Wish I’d Changed, Six Months Later
I have been so thrilled with the level of customization we got to do in our new home. From the built-ins in our game room to the shoe closet, to making our kitchen island larger and bringing cabinets to the ceiling, we truly got to create a home we love. Now that we have lived in our home for six months (!!!), I thought it would be fun to ...
Our New Curtains
We had curtains installed in our bedrooms yesterday and I'm delighted with how they turned out! Our home has 9ft ceilings throughout the upstairs, so we went with 108 inch curtains and had the hardware hung as close to the ceiling as possible, which was easier to do since we don't have crown moulding. By the way, there is a blog post all about ...
