This is the first space you see when you walk into our home—and although it’s changed a lot over the past five years, it always felt like something was missing.

Adding the fireplace completely transformed the vibe of the room. It’s hard to believe it wasn’t always there! The brick brought in so much warmth and character, and having a proper focal point finally tied the living and dining areas together.

It’s that time of year to find something special that reminds Mom just how much she means to you. While she deserves to be celebrated every day, this gift guide is full of thoughtful ideas to help make her holiday truly memorable—no matter where she is on her motherhood journey.

The weather is getting warmer, and the afternoons are lasting longer. Spring is finally here! That means two things (three, if you count allergy season—but let's not go there): Happier moods and outdoor dining! Is your patio ready for the warm weather? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.

One night, while searching Pinterest for an upcoming project, I stumbled upon the sweetest kids' bedroom with a canopy over the bed—and I instantly fell in love. I found similar options on Etsy, but most were custom-made and priced over $200. So, I started searching for more affordable options—and found exactly what I was looking for.

For me, wallpaper is a true source of creativity and endless inspiration with its vibrant mix of colors and patterns. I always tell people, if you’re struggling with a color palette, start with the art—and in this case, wallpaper is the art of the walls! Whenever I share photos of our home, I get so many questions about the wallpaper I’ve used, so I thought I’d put together a post featuring the top 5 favorites from my followers (and, of course, mine too).

Welcome to the final part of our laundry space project! In our previous post, we shared the quick renovation we did when we first moved in back in 2020, along with the mistakes we made and noticed as we began using the space. We also talked about how we started improving it to make it more functional, not just pretty. Now, it’s time for my favorite part: adding color, the final touches, and the big reveal!

Let’s go back to 2022. We had a room next to the front door that we wanted to turn into a guest bedroom with space-saving furniture, but since we barely have guests, it mostly sat empty (or filled with boxes). The plan was to make the most of the space—using it as a guest room only when needed—and finally create a proper home office with a desk and everything. I love a good DIY home decor project, so I was up for the challenge of building one ourselves. I’ll be sharing everything we did in hopes of inspiring you to create your own small space solutions!
