I haven’t done a Friday Five in a while, so here we go! PATIO RUG UPDATE Well, I’m still on the hunt for a rug for our patio. When we got this rug in from Overstock last week, the color looked completely off to me (I ordered the blue/beige). I thought it would be light blue like the photo online, but when it came in, it was more of a ...
It feels like everyone, everywhere is exercising at home right now out of necessity, but I think the shift to working out at home will have longevity (Peloton's sales are increasing, for example). Streaming workout platforms are convenient and cost-effective and I've found that consistency is more easily achieved when there are less barriers ...
Today, Aryn Guillory, interior designer and founder of her design firm, Oyster Creek Studios, is sharing all things window treatments as part of our Design at Home series.Window treatments are definitely something I had to do a lot of research about before I figured out what I love. In our last home, we did off white roman shades (which I ...
The long-awaited Amazon leggings post is here! I have two of the most incredible leggings in this post (I love on pair so much I have multiple colors!) In my experience, these are the best quality, most-flattering and most budget-friendly leggings on amazon. To clarify, these are all leggings I wear to workout - however, they’re also great ...
I purchased a shower speaker last July so I could listen to podcasts and audiobooks while I did my longer night time routine (AKA the nights I wash my hair) but I find myself using it every night now (I always take a shower before bed). I love listening to a book or podcast as I shower, do my skincare routine and wind down for the night, so this ...
We had a shower niche built into our shower when our home was under construction and it has been the most wonderful thing! I love that it has two ledges to hold our products and blends in with the subway tile (they also used marble on parts of the niche). I didn't want any extra storage in our shower (like the stainless steel hanging one we had in ...
Mirrors and art are one of my favorite ways to enhance our home. I love adding color through art and mirrors can really anchor a piece of furniture and reflect light into your space. One thing I've learned via years of reading design blogs is that there are right and wrong ways to hang art and mirrors (and even TVs!) and that most people make ...
I hope you've had a good week! I've been having some sleep issues but other than that the week has been ok. I'm consistently waking up between 3-4 a.m. and also dreaming a lot, which is usually a sign that I'm stressed. I mean, who isn't stressed right now? There is so much uncertainty, no answers on when things might return to normal, fear, etc. ...
Mother's Day is on Sun. May 10th (just around the corner!) so I put together this gift guide with your help! Some of these are items I own and love and others were on YOUR wish lists that you submitted via my Instagram stories - thanks for the suggestions! Mother's Day is sure to be different this year as well continue to stay at home, but I ...
In our last home (see our third home house tour here), we purchased a new 50-inch TV because our living room was smaller and we didn’t want a massive screen when the sofa was so close to the wall. We hung art around it to give the space more personality and add pops of color to our overall neutral space. Here are some photos from our previous ...
