In our last home (see our third home house tour here), we purchased a new 50-inch TV because our living room was smaller and we didn’t want a massive screen when the sofa was so close to the wall. We hung art around it to give the space more personality and add pops of color to our overall neutral space. Here are some photos from our previous ...

Design at Home: How to Make + Style Your Bed with Oyster Creek Studios
I had the joy of hiring Aryn to help finish our master bedroom in our third home and I loved the design so much, I replicated the room when we moved (we did have to change the light fixture because the one in our previous home would have been too large for our current bedroom since we don't have a coffered ceiling). Here's a peek of our ...
Pros and Cons of Open Concept Homes
Ever since I moved to Houston over a decade ago, we’ve always lived in homes with an open-concept floor plan. Newer builds in particular tend to have floor plans where the kitchen, living room and dining room all share one open space.

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.

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! My closet connects to our master bathroom and Kevin's is connected to the entryway of our bedroom. PLANNING ...
Breville Bambino Espresso Machine Review
I’ve raved about my Nespresso machine for years (and still love it!) but there’s a new love in our lives and it’s our Breville Bambino Plus Espresso machine (also on amazon, where we purchased ours, here). We purchased it before we moved into our new home last November and it’s our weekend latte go-to. (floating shelf sources ...
Spring Home Decor Finds

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 ...
