Looking back through August’s post, Chris and I both agree–it was a great month. We balanced hard work and even got away for a night. Plus, starting a new project is always exciting. Before we jump into a new month with a fresh list of projects, we’ve rounded up all of August’s right here for you with links back the original posts. Some, even I forgot about.
Had a huge yard sale where we sold almost everything from our living room:
The living room got a fresh coat of dark, dark paint. Mmmmm:
Chris went to great heights to install our new chandelier in the dining room:
Had a shrimp boil dinner party (and shared the recipe!):
Transitioned Greta’s crib into a toddler bed and lived to tell the tale:
Designed a living room for my first bachelor client–but I would totally love this living room for myself, too:
Found this great little red Virco chair for Greta at the thrift store
Chris and I got away for a night and packed in a lot of fun.
Spilled about dirty kitchens and editing photos on Truth Tuesday:
Introduced smaller, more affordable flats to the gallery:
Gushed over little kids’ rooms:

Semihandmade
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.

Loloi
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.

STUGA
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.

looking for inspiration?
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 […]

So fun to look through your old posts. You guys were busy!!!
September is already proving to be busy with school starting and baby preps in our apt. We have been rearranging things almost daily, so it will be nice when we get everything situated how we like it :-)
WOWSERS! You were busy! My favorite thing this month… hard to choose, but I think it is the Ikat chair. So gorgeous.
You guys were sooo busy this month! How do you do it?! Can’t wait to see what you have in store for September!
