I recently reached out to Aryn Guillory, interior designer and founder of her design firm, Oyster Creek Studios, to partner on some home-décor related content here on my blog. Aryn helped us design our master bedroom in our third home and I’m obsessed with her aesthetic and the spaces she designs (you can check out her beautiful home, here). ...

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! 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
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 ...

The space finally feels close to complete - and the timing couldn't be better with our family at home for the foreseeable future. This is a room we use for so many things: the ...
DIY Painted Wavy Bowls
I came upon some plastic gold wavy bowls on amazon a few months ago and they immediately reminded me of the shape of my beloved Susan Gordon Pottery wavy bowls (I have and LOVE this one). I didn't love the gold look, so I purchased some spray paint to see if I could make them look the way I wanted them to. The shape and sizes were ...
How to Organize Your Pantry in An Hour (Or Less!)
Last weekend, I finally took on the task of cleaning out and organizing our pantry, which admittedly became a catchall after our November move. Out of sight, out of mind, right? Though I’m thankful I was able to keep the mess behind closed doors for months, it also felt like time to give the pantry the de-clutter and focus it deserved. It can ...
Friday Five
Happy Friday! Lets get started! CAN’T STOP LISTENING TO… The Thousandth Floor series by Katharine McGee (who is a fellow Houstonian!) I’m on the third and final book in the series and just love it. These are totally YA novels – kind of like Gossip Girl set 100 years in the future – so if you’re into that, this is the series for you. I may be a ...
The Best Moving Tips From a Professional Organizer
We’ve moved four times and 12 years and each move got more and more complex as we grew our family and accumulated more things. I shared about how to prep your home for selling in a recent blog post and today’s post will focus on moving tips. I asked professional organizer Amy Vance of Eco Modern Concierge to share her best moving tips because she’s ...
