Oh hey hey hey! Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours! Let's get this week's wrap- up started! O N E I cannot wait for our new rug to come in. It's been on backorder and will ship this week. I'm still having major trouble with this space in terms of the overall "final look." It's such a tricky space with how open it is and how limited the ...

Weekend Wrap-Up
If I could use one word to describe the past week, it's "tired." I caught a sinus infection (it's going around at work) and Kevin was out of town the entire week for a conference (thankfully my mother-in-law stayed with us to help out) and I was just barely making it through each day. We are going through a bit of the four month sleep regression ...
Living Room Inspiration
sofa | teak armchair | bergere chair | cane-back chair | chandelier Our living room is the most challenging space in our new home because of the way it's configured. Our downstairs consists of a kitchen, living and dining room and it's all one open-concept space. We also have a powder room and office down the hall, separated from ...
Organizing Our Pantry with Eco Modern Concierge
I was about 38 weeks pregnant when Amy Vance of Eco Modern Concierge contacted me asking if I would be interested in having her help organize a space in our new home. My first thought was "can you just move in with us for two weeks and help me organize my life?" But then I snapped out of it and thought about a space in our home that I found ...
Black & White Favorites for the Home
I love adding touches of black and white to both our home and my closet and I especially love black and white patterns to add a little dimension and interest to a room. In today's post, I'm sharing some of my recent (and not so recent) favorite B&W purchases. The first is this black and white striped light with tassel from the Emily + ...
The Internet is Back
(our subway tile kitchen backsplash--- I've waited a long time for this!) After four collective hours on the phone with AT&T (don't ask, I can't even) and over two weeks of waiting, we finally have internet at the new house. This momentous occasion means I can get back to blogging! First of all--- thank you to everyone here and on IG that ...
Third Trimester To-Do List & Some Exciting News!
Happy Thursday! Third trimester to-do list: Wrap-up major projects at work before going on leave. Wash and organize baby clothes. Pick-up newborn stuff we still need. Move. We had talked about searching for a new home before I was even pregnant with baby #2 because our existing home’s layout wasn’t ideal for our growing family. We wanted to ...
IKEA’s RITVA Curtains in Our Open-Concept Living Room
The story of these curtains is way longer than it should be. Go to store, buy curtains, install. I wish. It all started when I saw my friend Leslie's home for the first time. She has the most gorgeous home (she should seriously become an interior designer) and I saw her curtains and I told her how much I loved them. To my surprise, she told me ...
How I Clean Our Home & My Favorite Cleaning Products
“Is your house always so clean?” “How do you keep up with it all?” “Do you have a maid?” I get these questions on a weekly basis so I decided it would be fun to write a post on my favorite cleaning products and methods. I’m a little OCD/Type-A about cleaning (okay, more than a little) so I like to keep a pretty clean ...
A Painted House
Our home is nearly completely painted! All that’s left are bedrooms and bathrooms. I am so excited that our home now feels more like “us.” We ended up choosing Benjamin Moore’s “Revere Pewter” for the majority of our home. When your home is as open-concept as ours is, you really need to use a paint color that transitions well ...
