I just got off the phone with our car insurance company. Harrison, our Acura, is not totaled and it will (tentatively) be fixed by December 23rd, just in time for our trip to Rexburg for the holiday!! The damage only added up to about $6500, and all we have to pay is our meager deductible. Woot! We were preparing for the worst by scouting out a new, affordable SUV; practicing what we were going to say when our insurance company said that our car was totaled and low-balled us; and trying to figure out how we were going to fit all of us, our luggage and gifts in the tiny Toyota Corolla (our rental) all the way north. I am so thrilled we don’t have to deal with any of that, but most of all, we aren’t going to have to say goodbye to our car anytime soon.
The night it happened. |
Then, it started to blister. |
Then, the blisters started to pop and the skin started coming off, exposing flesh. |
Then, it got infected and we went to the ER. |
They gave me some really good antibiotics and wrapped it in a dinosaur bandage–double win. |
After a couple days, it had dried up and scabbed. |
Then, the scab came off. |
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 […]
