Vintage-inspired swimsuits

I’ve decided to buy a new bathing suit this year. I have a few bikinis, but lately I’ve been really into the idea of a one piece. A one-piece doesn’t have to be boring or old lady-like, and you don’t need to wear one just because you have something to...

The Pretty Plans for the Cabin Bathroom & a Renovation Update

Well hi there! We’ve missed you! A lot has happened in the last two months. And a lot… hasn’t happened. Quarantine is weird like that. Quick recap: we’ve barely left our house in over 65 days… Andy lost his job last week… Joey “graduated” from her first year of preschool… Andy...

Make your own giant cactus!

Ever since we went to Palm Springs, California, a couple months ago, I’ve been obsessed with cactuses. Cacti. Whatever you want to call them, they are just about the cutest thing ever. I thought for a while about trying to get my own live cactus, but I wasn’t going to be...

Design Dilemma: Color vs. Neutral

You guys, this week is CRAZY. Andy just went back to work after four glorious weeks off, so now I’m figuring out this whole new life where I’m somehow in charge of keeping a very tiny human being alive all by myself for 10+ hours a day. Who put me in charge??? Eek! So anyway,...

Cabin Living Room Ideas

Oh you guys, I had grand plans to show you the full design for the cabin living room LAST week, and I worked on it every single day thinking, “by tomorrow this will be ready to publish…” Well. A whole week went by with no blog post. See guys, this...

Cutest King Beds Under $1K (+ we need your help)

We have about a billion and a half decisions to make in our new cabin and one of them is beds. We technically have three bedrooms, but one of them is a small loft that currently isn’t very safe, so we’re going to just ignore it for now until we...

Eat Up: Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream

It’s the week after Halloween. Odds are, you purchased a ton of candy, and now you have bags and bags of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups or Take 5s because you didn’t get enough trick-or-treaters. If you don’t have Reese’s or Take 5s, I’ve got bad news: you bought the wrong...

Where we’ve been: Cancun

Whoops, well that was an unplanned week off from the blog! If you follow either of us on Instagram, you probably saw that we sneaked away to Cancun for a few days. I really planned on having some posts scheduled before we left, but it just didn’t happen. Then our...

Introducing our new master bathroom

Oh my goodness you guys, we could not be more excited to show you our new master bathroom. Our old second-floor bathroom was cramped, dark, dingy and pretty depressing. Nothing about it said “master” or “relaxing” or “pleasant” or “let’s hang out in here for a while”… or any of...

Choosing Exterior House Colors Is Hard

Seriously, you guys, this is a big one. Working on the inside of the house is one thing, but the outside is a whole new level of pressure. We paint rooms all the time, as you know, and it’s as simple as changing our minds and spending 30ish bucks on a...
