In college, my roommate and I used to sneak mini marshmallows out of the cafeteria (the only size they had) and would “roast” them over a candle in our dorm room to make s’mores!!! Andy and I have totally been known to roast our marshmallows over the gas stove year...
I’m all packed for Blogshop in Toronto and heading north this afternoon, yay! … Well, east, then north, then west, then north again. Oh if only there were a bridge across Lake Erie! But either way, it’s an easy drive from Cleveland and I’m really excited to be on my way....
I have wanted a little kitchen herb garden for a long time, so this weekend Andy helped me make some simple shelves to hang next to our big kitchen window (and let’s be honest, he did almost all the work). We wanted to share our project with you in honor of...
If I ever win the lottery, I am hiring Emily Henderson to be my personal decorator. We’ll go shopping all the time and have so much fun talking about rugs and chairs and bellbottoms, and I’ll have the most amazing house ever. That’s what you get when you win the...

Our style tends to be pretty modern, with lots of white walls, a fairly minimal approach, and clean-lined furniture, but we love the contrast of adding in unexpected moments with antiques...
So this one time we went on vacation and liked the AirBnB’s couch so much we came home and bought one for ourselves. Naturally. We actually tend to make big changes after vacations. I think it’s partly that we feel so inspired while away, and also we end up having...
Now it’s probably no secret that I pretty much love everything West Elm does. I just happened to visit their site a couple days ago, like I do at least once a week to look around, and I saw this… Blocked Tulip Duvet Cover from West Elm Eeek! I love it. Tulips...
