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 […]

I didn’t even notice how old this is…. but I have to tell you, we bought a house last June……. in a cul-de-sac.. As I was unpacking, warm peanut butter cookies were brought over by a neighbor, I was massively pregnant, so it was perfect, there are always toys on my lawn that don’t belong to my child, my one neighbor to the right is a contractor and offers us help anytime we need it with our house, the girls across the street taught my 3 1/2 year old how to ride a razor scooter and we even set up lawn chairs out there and have cocktails sometimes… with a firepit. Cul-de-sac living cannot be beat!!! I don’t know that I could even have a house on a through street ever again. :) Btw… I love your blog and am setting up to do your 3×8 frost poem right now for a friend!
Cheers!!

Hey you’re at 99 followers! 100 is a biggie! Eee!!
That’s awesome that you have such great neighbors! I completely understand about what you mean to live in a cul-de-sac! We absolutely love it! When we bought our house, we really didn’t think much about the advantages of living in a cul-de-sac, but there are many. The neighbors are closer, kids run around between everyone’s yards, and play in the street because its safe! Fireworks are fun to do in the summer too! It’s great!! Glad you like your new membership! :-)
