I've long admired Aerin's Jacqueline beaded chandelier (it also comes in this medium size). I wanted to get it for our bedroom, but couldn't bring myself to splurge. I still have some regret about that as I ended up purchasing two other chandeliers - the first was too rustic (see images below) and the second was too large for the space. I ended up ...
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 ...
Workwear for Spring
Whether you're back in the office or just new a few cute items for Zoom calls (that also pair well with denim!) this post is for you! I miss shopping for work clothes. I've purchased a few pieces here and there, but since all of my meetings are still virtual (even though I go into the office), I'll be honest and admit I'm in the routine of ...
Easter & Spring Tablescape Ideas
Now that we've ordered our new dining table (read about the table sizing saga, here), I'm ready to think about setting a beautiful table for Easter. Our RH table should be delivered sometime in late March and I can't wait to dress it up for Spring (see some of my favorite serving, flatware and glassware here!) Our temporary plastic table ...
Why I Never Go a Day Without SPF
I have an ongoing partnership with Olay. This post is not part of my paid partnership, but it's a topic I'm passionate about and want to share with you. I started using mineral SPF on my face exclusively last fall. I made a commitment to wear it every.single.day, no excuses. Even on days I didn’t wear makeup, I wore my mineral SPF and I’m really ...
Serena & Lily Spring Sale
Serena & Lily is a longtime favorite of mine for furniture and home decor. Their fresh coastal-inspired pieces work with so many home styles - perhaps that's what I most appreciate about their offerings. Their pieces look beautiful mixed into a modern farmhouse, traditional home or one that skews more modern. I'm going to share the S&L ...
Monday Musings
BACK TO MOVEMENT I FINALLY (I feel this deserves all caps because it's been over 6 months) started exercising again and it feels really good. I started with Melissa Wood's beginner flows, which are a little more gentle. I ordered this ruffled sports bra in lilac last week to "celebrate" my resumption of movement and I absolutely love it. I wear ...
Coastal Furniture Finds
I love bamboo, cane, Chippendale, rattan and wicker furniture. It adds a little coastal and/or grandmillennial vibe to any space. I thought I'd share some of my favorite finds today, inspired by pieces in our own home. I love Chippendale chairs - ours are from Ballard but I found some dupes here and here. A bamboo etagere can add elegance ...
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 ...
Disaster Preparedness List
Our family has always kept things like flash lights, extra batteries, bottled water and quick damn flood prevention bags on hand because we’ve lived through many hurricanes here in Houston. What we weren’t prepared for was a freezing weather event and losing our power for nearly three full days. The hopelessness you feel when you lose power and ...
