When I was pregnant with my nephew (okay, not me personally, but I was the “cool aunt” in charge of helping decorate), my sister gave me one piece of direction: “No cartoon characters, please. I want cute, but not cheesy.” Enter: the vintage sports nursery. IMAGE BY PINTEREST Somehow it manages to feel both nostalgic…
Here’s a confession: I have a Pinterest board called “Kitchen Daydreams” that’s basically 90% blue French country kitchens. You know the kind—painted cabinets in the perfect dusty blue, copper pots hanging like jewelry, and a big farmhouse table that looks like it’s hosted fifty years of family dinners. Every time I scroll through it, I…
So here’s a confession: I never thought I’d obsess over a bathroom. I mean, it’s the room where toothpaste caps mysteriously disappear, hair ties go to die, and you promise yourself you’ll finally organize the under-sink cabinet “this weekend.” But then one day, standing in a spa hotel bathroom (the kind with eucalyptus steam floating…
So here’s the scene: I’m standing in my bedroom holding two paint swatches. One is a deep leafy green that reminds me of summer hikes, and the other is a blush pink that looks suspiciously like the shade of latte foam when you’ve added just enough strawberry syrup. And my brain goes: “Are these two…
So, here’s the thing about kitchen windows: they seem so innocent, just sitting there letting in sunlight, until you realize they’re completely… naked. And suddenly you’re in the middle of cooking pasta, staring at the window, wondering if your neighbors can see you aggressively taste-testing straight from the pot. IMAGE BY PINTEREST That’s where a…
When we bought our house, the bathroom was… well, let’s just say it was aggressively beige. Beige walls. Beige tile. Beige shower curtain. I swear even the towels had a weird beige tint from years of over-washing. It felt more like a waiting room than a space you’d want to relax in. So, in a…
The other day, I was walking through my neighborhood and stopped dead in front of a sage-green house with white trim and a wide, welcoming porch. You know that kind of house that makes you slow down, maybe even pretend to tie your shoe just to sneak another look? That was me. There’s something about…
Let me be honest with you: I never thought I’d be a “green couch” person. I’ve always played it safe with beige or gray sofas because they’re easy, neutral, and, well… boringly practical. But then one day, while scrolling (aka procrastinating laundry), I saw a velvet green couch styled with gold accents and warm wood….
There’s something about green tiles that just works. They’re fresh without feeling trendy, timeless without being boring, and they somehow make a bathroom feel both luxurious and grounding at the same time. Whenever I see a bathroom with green tiles, my first thought is, “Oh, I could spend all day in there with a book…
There’s a moment in almost every kitchen’s life where the table — the humble centerpiece of family dinners, late-night snacks, and abandoned homework assignments — starts to look… well, a little sad. Mine? It had water rings from too many iced coffees, paint smudges from a “let’s try DIY” weekend that went sideways, and one…
