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 […]

Hey. Did you put that book in your new guest room? …Is it weird to be commenting on a 6 year old post?
Haha I should!! It’s in our reading room right now
chris and julia,
I just discovered your blog, fell head over heels for it, and had to start reading backwards.
how refreshing to find a place of inspiration and a couple so in love. sometimes I worry about flaunting my very happy marriage because it feels like such a rare thing these days. I would not be blogging/cooking/decorating/smiling if not for sharing this life with the most wonderful man for me.
I cannot wait to follow your home adventures (we move into our first house in September!) and hope you don’t mind my adding you to A Pear to Remember’s blogroll. I’m anxious to send more people your way!
peace and peas,
Lindsey

Thanks for sharing!!! I loved reading that letter!! Here is what I want to know… What did you say back to him? :-) Do you have that letter? Don’t leave us hanging! Haha. I love great love stories!
O my gosh. YOU TWO ARE ADORABLE!!!!!
I love reading letters that say…hahahaha or lol. It is so “our time” ya know? My mom would never say that.
One of my favorite times in my relationship with Ryan is when he was away at school and we would write emails back and forth to each other. There is just something SO special about the written word. Ya know? Except that I do NOT know what to say most times. I am not good at writing anything lovey dovey.
Loved reading this letter – Thanks for sharing. I know when he finally “woke up” there was no turning back. So glad you felt the same. I about had a breakdown myself before “I finally called him” the day after you got home. Such a perfect match!
