Having fresh flowers in the house really livens the place up. My just-because-gift for Chris was a little less traditional. A scalp massager:
It was less than $5 on Amazon and one of those things that when I saw it, I thought, “Chris would love that thing.” So I ordered it and it came on the perfect day. Have you ever tried it? Ah. Maze. Zing.
The two are kind of a silly pair, but so are we. Anyone else work like a maniac? How do you balance your relationship? Give any romantic or silly just-because gifts?
Psst. I have been working a special project for all of y-o-u behind the scenes. Look forward to the big reveal real soon.
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 […]

Love it! Thanks, Ashlee.
Be careful with the lily pollen…it gets everywhere and stains TERRIBLY. You can pull off the open pollen pods and throw them away, (if you get to them before they are open it’s even better) and you can remove the pollen from the bloom using a pipe cleaner (fold the pipe cleaner in half and gently rub the bloom with the bent part of the stem/loop) :) (Just some little tricks from the florist over here…I couldn’t help myself!)
Hope you’re feeling better :) The little things really do help!
I have that massager! INCREDIBLE!
You won’t regret getting the massager. All three of us LOVE it.
Awww, you two are so sweet! Hope you’re feeling better :)
and I KNOW Ry reads your blog :-) I think I need to order that scalp massager for muah :-)
Lilies are definitely one of my favorite flowers! Spring is right around the corner!
I’ll just forward this off to Rodrigo.
