When it’s sunny, it makes me skip dinner and have a jamba juice instead. It makes me want to go house hunting. It suddenly piques my interest in all-things-grilled. I want to whiten my teeth so they glow when I get tan. I want to wear perfume and long necklaces and no coat. I want to blow dry my hair straight so I can feel my long locks on my bare, coat-less, sweatshirt-less arms. It all feels so good.
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 […]

It is H-O-T here and I’ve been eating oatmeal every morning this week. But, I’m eating oatmeal for other reasons…Bland food to fill the tummy without feeling sick afterwards.
HOUSE HUNTING???? So excited.
And I say YET to highlighting this summer!!! Isn’t you Auntie (wink wink) coming in next week??
