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 recently painted our study a dark, moody green color. This is after we first painted it a muddy green, then repainted it a blue-gray. I guess what they say is true; third time’s a charm! The journey was worth it, though, because I’m so in love with this glossy green in contrast with the […]

I also meant to add this link: http://www.sephora.com/caviar-anti-aging-moisture-shampoo-P269705?skuId=1415785
It’s expensive, but I only wash my hair about 3 times a week (which felt weird at first, but now, my hair has never ever felt so healthy!). This one bottle has lasted a couple months, so far.
Good to note!
Oh, he’ll love this one. Chris loves gifting it to everybody!
Thanks Nicole! Something for everybody. :)
Aw thanks, Ashley!
Thanks Nataley!! Merry Christmas!
I looooooove The Napping Book! I forgot all about it. And! Adding to “Littles” list… they had Fisher Price Little People Manger Scene at the store! It was awesome.
Thank you so much for the ideas! I spent so much time looking at cookbooks for my brother but coulnd’t find anything I liked. He loves to season things and grill. I’m so happy to have found your suggestion, I just ordered it!
Great lists!!! I’ve been eyeing an ‘&’ for my wall…LOVE the napping house- one of our favs over here. And those shoes of Greta’s, I’m pretty sure one of my boys needs those! Josh & Jenna’s smoke art is absolutely gorgeous!!
Hahaha, I guess I should have kept reading. Thanks! And Julia, your hair is absolutely gorgeous.
Kim, what products do you use?? My 30 year old hair needs help!
Great lists! I too absolutely LOVE the little fox dress! So cute!
Love this! Can we talk about your eyelashes for a second? They look fab! And the Petunia Pickle Bottom velcro silencer? I need to order that asap- it is the worst opening that stupid diaper bag at church. Love all of these ideas- thanks for sharing :)
Thanks lady.
That is what I’m looking for!! I don’t even recognize my hair anymore.

Ooh, I’ve wanted eyelash extensions for years. My Asian eyes lack ANY sort of lashes, so mascara is my best friend.
Also, Bamboo oil from Alterna is the BEST. I finally made the switch to really, really nice shampoos and hair products that are sulfate and paraben free about 3 months ago, and my 30-year-old hair is finally 18 again!
YOU lucky. When I said, “she’s been eyeing for a year.” I was definitely referring to myself.
I have the & pillow :)
It’s my favorite toy of Greta’s for just that reason. I actually park it next to the couch in our living room when it isn’t in use because it is so chic.
No problem!! He’ll love it.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed together!! :)
The fox dress is the cutest! And I love a stylish toy (the rolling cow).
I’ve been wanting to read both of Gretchen Rubin’s novels! I also love the cow on the “littles” list. Great idea for my nephew! Thanks!!

I have the happiness project & Moroccan oil on my wish list ;-) Great minds…
