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 […]

Thats awesome, I really want to learn how to write like that with chalk!
Neighbor you are seriously TALENTED! If I install a chalkboard will you run over every month and create a masterpiece for us?? JK- my kids would probably smudge it- great work! Fun to find your blog!
Thanks for the love!!! I am so flattered that you have been checking out our blog.
*blushing* you’re too kind.
daaaang, girl! looks great!
jaw dropping! this is amazing.
Oh, my gosh! Julia, you are so talented. But it needs to be somewhere other than your laundry room, like your front entry. Love them all!
Very nice!! Your handwriting is beautiful!
Love it! It’s so nice to see this type of chalkboard that is being used and enjoyed for periods of time. I dislike the chalkboard “walls” that look so messy and chalky. This is a real work of art! I am dying to see the finished room in your basement!!!
WOW! Once I saw this I knew I needed to quit stalking you and give you some love :) This is amazing. Who knew the tall, beautiful, dedicated sista was so talented?! Love your blog. Love seeing you enjoy this stage of your life. Love seeing you and Chris (“he looks just like the guy from the office”- I don’t remember who said that, you or Nilsson) create together. Awesome!
beautiful! found ya through chris’ facebook post. he’s one lucky guy to have a talented gal such as you. make sure he keeps cherishing that fact! ;) seriously splendid. totally pinned ya! ::hugs::
For real, girl. I have the chapped fingers to prove it. Haha. Thanks so much.
this is amazing. and beautiful. i seriously can’t believe you drew this!
Thanks Angela. Give it a try!
It was my first time! Just give it a try! :)
you are ridiculously talented in so many ways… i wish i could do what you do :) absolutely LOVE it!
Oh. My. Gosh. That is amazing. YOU are amazing. Please let me print this up on some stationary. I would love to have this blown up and hanging in my house. You’re so talented. I’m dying right now.
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! I need to read this talk when I have a free moment.
WHAT THE crap. every month you blow me away. is this for real?
Oh Lexy. You are so nice. Thanks, girl!
I cannot tell you how much I wish you were able to sell the artwork from this chalkboard drawing. Months later, I still can’t get this image out of my mind. If there was any way, I would totally buy it… just saying ;)
