This post was done in collaboration with KitchenAid. I haven’t been cooking a lot, or really I should say AT ALL, since Archie was born but breakfast foods seem like a good way to ease back into it. I’m pretty sure eggs are the cooking equivalent of dipping your toe in the water. Rupert usually […]
Let’s face it, I want ALL the plants (and all the planters), the more plants the better right? Especially for those of you in parts of the country where it is starting to get cooler and you’re settling in for the fall which then turns into winter, which can drag on a little too long. I am from […]
This month’s real talk topic is all about the goods, the diaper bag goods that is. The what we lug around with us and why and it is yet another one of the topics where I feel like I should be the last one giving advice on. I am kind of a serial non-preparer. I will […]
Hiiiiii! Can you tell how relieved I am to finally have some progress to share on our money pit fixer a-frame? Well it seems like aside from the laundry room and a new roof, not much has been done but finally the kitchen is getting put back together, as we speak. Our new contractor has been […]
Things are moving and shaking over at our A-frame cabin. We jetted over there last week to check on our new roof (!) and I shot the finished laundry room while we were at it. It’s the only space that is complete. It’s kind of a funny place to start, but renovations are full of surprises and hey, it […]
Ah! you guys, two of those leather sling chairs just landed in my studio and they are SO SO good. Talk about a dream collaboration. Commune, whose work I was first intro’d to through the Ace Hotel, has always been such a great design inspiration and West Elm, who of course I can’t fill spaces […]
This post is brought to you by BEHR®. Color that is True to Hue. If you feel it, you can find it. Visit truetohue.behr.com. While our construction crew is working on the plumbing and the drywall in the A-frame kitchen, I went on the hunt with BEHR® Paints and found my perfect shade of green, […]
I don’t know why it took me so long this year to get into summer mode but after getting back from Michigan, our first real family vacation in what feels like an eternity, I am vowing to slow things down again and take full advantage of the rest of the long, warm summer days. You […]
Rupert and I just celebrated our 7-year wedding anniversary while we were on our family vacation in Michigan. We were able to sneak away for dinner and a movie night while my parents watched Archie but we got extra nostalgic thinking about our honeymoon and those exotic pre-baby vacations we used to take. We looked […]
You may have seen around Instagram that I’ve been putting some finishing touches in our master bathroom. After living with it for a couple years, I’ve finally added in the little details that made it feel complete. You wouldn’t think it would take much in a bathroom but even small changes like switching out the pendant […]
I hope your week is going swimmingly! I’ve checked out and am spending some much needed downtime at our old cabin! If you are new to the blog… I started this whole space when we bought this old fixer cabin and began renovating it ourselves from top to bottom, side to side, and inside and out. […]
I recently collected a few amazing pieces for the a-frame from Lulu & Georgia and while I was on the site I just kept finding more and more and then more unique home pieces that I wanted to make mine. It was the best kind of rabbit hole to fall into. I’d previously known them […]
It is blueberry season, which has to be my absolute favorite fruit season. I grew up in Michigan blueberry picking with my mom every year around this time. We used to go this old farm where the blueberry bushes were the size of small trees. I could literally climb up the middle of the bush […]
We are BIG into children’s books around here, especially Archie. It’s built into our bedtime routine, nap routine, morning routine, and many times a day he will carry one around grunting in the way he does when we wants something, “eh eh, eh eh, eh eh” meaning read to me pleassssse. I put a call out for […]
Last week I shared a bit about the design of the laundry room in the a-frame, and as you know from our LA home, I don’t like to short change a laundry room. I love giving what can often be a neglected space a little extra oomph with special touches like wallpaper and in this […]
Today is the day… it’s project Light Lab reveal tour day! And of course I’ve got a couple before and afters for your viewing pleasure because nothing is as satisfying as a good before and after. If you have been following along you may have seen my post on the design and the progress but in case you […]
