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?
We recently painted our study a dark, moody green color. This is after we first painted it a muddy green, then repainted it a blue-gray. I guess what they say is true; third time’s a charm! The journey was worth it, though, because I’m so in love with this glossy green in contrast with the […]

Ugh! We had yet to order this year’s bento box…now they’re going to be all gone!! ;)
Any suggestions for a cover for a horizontal tissue box? My husband insists on horizontal tissues because they’re cheaper, but the boxes aren’t nearly as pretty!
I agree – they can be hard to find! I’ve had some luck with this on Amazon, like this one: https://www.amazon.com/JORDAN-JUDY-Tissue-Rectangular-Holder/dp/B07C4RBTDT/
https://www.amazon.com/Kuso-dispenser-VintageTissue-Rectangular-Kitchen/dp/B07DKZRK8V/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1534883470&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=maui+head+for+kleenex+box
Totally quirky and unexpected. I sometimes hear giggles from the bathroom and I know they discovered the box. It balances out my huge St. Francis in Ecstacy by Giovanni Bellini which hangs over my sink in place of a mirror. Who needs to stare at themselves while doing their business? I put a small swinging side mirror above the light switch so people can check their hair/teeth when leaving.
this is a great list! I want one of everything :)
I just told Chris the same thing!
