We designed the Charly line of sofas, chairs, and ottomans with perfect proportions for comfort — with wide arms, a loungey depth, and stylish and practical lumbar pillows. Available in 70 kid-friendly, pet-friendly fabrics, this line was created with families in mind.

Semihandmade
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.

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?
We’re welcoming fall by lighting up the evenings with the glow of our fire pit. In Idaho, fire pits were more of a summer evening event. Fall was too cold to be out in the evening without being bundled with a coat and blanket. It’s magically different here, and the subtle crisp evenings are just […]

Michelle,
I agree! We (Chris, too!) both think that the more window we have in there, the more open and airy it will feel. And that’s definitely the look we want. Maybe one long panoramic one will due. We’ll see where we end up and definitely keep you posted.

Wow, it doesn’t look so closed in anymore, and it really did with the sectional wrapping around a corner without ambient light. I give 2 thumbs up to a window!
Just now, I thought…OF COURSE. It looks as if it should have been there the whole time.
My dad put a window in our old house in San Diego and I don’t think it was toooo painful without any real professional help.
You guys can do it!
love it!!
hi – only just found you recently – i’m sure it was from pinterest – through seeing a pic of your great string light!
just wanted to say hi – and love seeing the transformations as they take place.
