five things | decorating a home office
I did Let’s Go with Layla (of the Lettered Cottage) today on Instagram Stories and thought I would share my tips and ideas for decorating a home office here on the blog as well! Aaaaand, I decided “five things” would be a good series to post on the blog now and then… just five little […]
antique-style mirrors for the master bedroom
It only took a couple of years, but I finally found a pair of antique-style mirrors that I love for the master bedroom! I envisioned mirrors there since we got our king-sized bed, but I was really hoping to find a matching (or somewhat matching) pair of antique mirrors. I’ve hunted all over the place…at […]
Blue & White Wallpaper for the 1/2 Bath
Between January and March of 2019, we worked on giving our half bathroom a makeover. We painted the walls in Stonington Gray (mixed at 50%), swapped out the boring mirror with a vintage one, changed out the light fixture and faucet, and added a chair rail and picture frame molding.

In just making breakfast for everyone, […]
slipcover chaise reveal | tutorial & sources
Back in March, I took some unhurried decorative play in the master bedroom. I just felt stuck in this room. The bones were there, but I was having trouble finishing it off. I couldn’t make up my mind on the smaller pieces of furniture, what to hang on the wall, or how to make it […]
