A Pop of Red

August 23, 2012 - 9 Comments

Our home’s color scheme is filled with black, white, gray, green and blue–and then there is that red door of ours–which we absolutely love. Although it might seem a little out of place once you open our door and there …

August 22, 2012 - 5 Comments

The Slipcover Blues

August 21, 2012 - 22 Comments

Just so you know, this post doesn’t end well. You see, our Klippan 4-seater couch from Ikea used to have a white cover on it–the one we purchased with it when we bought the couch last year. In less than …

"[Greta], you’ve totally transitioned"

August 20, 2012 - 6 Comments

A Shrimp Boil Dinner Party (and Recipe!)

August 14, 2012 - 13 Comments

I ended yesterday’s new-chandelier post proclaiming, “bring on the well-lit dinner parties!” and we wasted no time doing that. Last night, we had a couple good friends over for a shrimp boil–a low-key and out-of-this-world flavorful dinner that requires one …
