IKEA’s Summer 2019 Collection Is So Cute

Ok, so our last post was all about relaxing into this in-between season and embracing the spirit of hygge… but now I have to switch gears completely because IKEA’s “Sommar” 2019 collection just launched, and it’s so adorable I have to make sure you see...

Essential summer style

We escaped for a few days to the lake. Well, the OTHER lake, considering we live just a few blocks from Lake Erie. We’re in Traverse City, Michigan, celebrating the beginning of summer in the place that means quintessential summer to me. There’s no more perfect place...

Plans for the Master Bath

When we ordered our kitchen cabinets a few weeks ago, we totally lucked out and Ikea happened to be having one of their famous kitchen sales. We didn’t even know! Except, instead of a percentage discount like they’ve done in the past, this time around they...

How to Paint Wood Floors

I love the look of painted wood floors. I know it’s not for everyone or every house, but white (or colored) floors really brighten up a room so much and are a nice change of pace from darker stained wood. We’ve learned that it’s traditional in...
