Friday Five
I feel like this post is going to be all over the place, so bear with me. MENTAL HEALTH UPDATE Last Friday, I had an appointment with my psychiatrist and together we determined it was important that I take medical leave from work. 11 days into starting my new medication regimen, I had a massive panic/anxiety attack that lasted for an entire ...
How to Make a Faux Orchid Arrangement
I love orchid plants - they're beautiful and work with different types of decor styles. I've had both real and faux orchids, but I prefer a good faux orchid since they last forever and require zero care. Real orchids are beautiful, but they're sensitive plants and can be tough to care for. I found my orchids at IKEA - at $14.95 per plant, ...
Inexpensive Art Hack for Your Home
I own three larger Teil Duncan pieces purchased from her website that I've had framed and absolutely adore them. Her style of painting and color palettes really speak to my heart.

The Best Designer Pillows
I love decorative pillows...you might even say it's an obsession.

By the way, if you love interior design and all things home ...
Why We Chose Unlacquered Brass Hardware for Our Kitchen
I love brass accents in a home. From lighting to hardware, to mirrors and framed art – I think it adds such beauty and warmth to any space. When our home was under construction, I knew I’d do brass hardware in our kitchen. I loved our polished chrome hardware in our previous home, but I thought brass would better complement our warmer white oak ...
How I Optimized Our At-Home Workspaces
During the COVID-19 global pandemic, many of us have found ourselves having to adapt to working from home. Our house doesn't have an extra room that could serve as an office, so we had to get creative, working within the spaces we do have. For the first few months, I worked at our dining table while Kevin opted for the couch (by choice - that's ...

I'm actually building Harper this exact dollhouse right now (available here) and we are definitely going for a French blue and pink theme throughout!

What Home-Related Splurges Are Worth It? (And Where to Save!)
Deciding what to splurge and save on for your home can be tough. Because we move fairly frequently, I’ve always focused on splurging on things we can take with us – furniture, mirrors, etc. but there are, of course, exceptions to this. Below I will share my thought process on various categories and why they can be a spurge OR steal depending on ...
Where to Buy Acrylic Frames
I LOVE acrylic frames. It’s such a fun and modern way to showcase your art and photographs. I recently ordered four 11 x 14 acrylic frames from Highland Hardware but wanted to share some other budget-friendly options as well. The nice thing about Highland Hardware is that they do offer custom sizes. I've seen people frame Hermes ...
