Actually, it started when I was still pregnant with Greta, but has gotten progressively worse. I definitely never know what day it is, but sadly, sometimes I don’t know what YEAR it is. I can’t remember if I’m 23, 24 or 25. I have no idea how old Chris is and sometimes I think his birthday is October 23rd, when it is really October 13th…right honey? I have resorted to using a calculator for even simple addition, and math used to be my specialty. I’ll walk into another room and forget why I am in there. I’ll look everywhere for Greta’s binky and find it in my hand. Two days ago, I got home and my cell phone was on top of the car. I started listening to Justin Bieber. Chris has to explain things to me a minimum of three times. I started stuttering like when I was 9 again. I have to stop, breathe and restart my sentences often. I refrigerate toys, keys and Greta’s laundry. Just thought I’d warn ya.
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
