This may just be my favorite bedding combo ever. @ This may just be my favorite bedding combo ever. @onequince #QuincePartner (Coupon code at bottom of caption)!

I’m being 100% serious when I say these bamboo sheets are the softest, comfiest sheets I’ve ever slept in. G and I both looked at each other when we got in bed the first time and immediately started gushing about them. But the real feat for me here was the Gauze Duvet Cover. For a long time I was just leaving our comforter uncovered because our previous duvet cover was so heavy that it defeated the purpose of having a fluffy, cloudlike duvet.. Well, I can GLADLY report that is NOT an issue with this duvet cover from Quince. It’s AMAZINGLY light and I love the texture it brings to our bedding setup.

Originally I thought I’d paint it pink, but I think the white works well in here, no?!

Not my normal content, but we just went on vacatio Not my normal content, but we just went on vacation for spring break and this audio really got me. 

It had been a while since we went away as a family and I’m feeling so grateful for the memories made and so strongly that this is somethjng we should all prioritize with our loved ones💛 Whether its a trip to Disney, relaxing at the beach or simply setting some intentional time aside at home, make those memories friends! We only get so many summers/spring breaks/ long weekends with our babies… let’s make the most of them💕

This stairwell was one of those ignored spaces—fin This stairwell was one of those ignored spaces—fine, but unfinished.
A few frames, a little planning, and suddenly it tells a story instead of just getting passed by.

I love gallery walls here because they:
• add personality without clutter
• turn a pass-through into a moment
• make the whole home feel more intentional

If you’ve been staring at a blank wall wondering what it needs… this is your sign.

👉 Save this for when you’re ready to finally tackle your own gallery wall.

Research shows our brains crave calm. And neutral Research shows our brains crave calm.
And neutral homes do exactly that 🤍

When life is loud (kids, schedules, the never-ending to-do list), a softer palette gives your nervous system a place to land.
Less visual noise. More breathing room.

This is why I design for quiet — not boring.
A home that feels steady, grounded, and easy to come back to at the end of the day.

Save this if your brain needs a little less clutter today.

My search for the perfect bedding is over! @onequi My search for the perfect bedding is over! @onequince #QuincePartner I have been on the hunt for a high quality, neutral toned quilt for what seems like forever, and finally found it in Quince’s European Linen Cotton Stitch Quilt Set. They also sent me their European Linen Sheet set and it is perfection!

Save this for reference later!🤍 These 4 elements Save this for reference later!🤍

These 4 elements are key to creating a cozy living space:

1. Soft rug.. you want the feel beneath your feet to be soft and inviting. Look for a rug with the “Cloud Pile” designation — you’ll thank me later! 

2. Curtains.. more than color, you want the focus of your window coverings to bring in texture and interest to the room. They should ultimately round out a space without encroaching or making it feel heavy.

3. Throws.. every sitting space should have at least one pillow and a blanket! This makes each chair/sofa/etc. 10x more inviting.

4. Table lamps.. in my humble opinion, a home cannot function on overhead lighting alone. Table lamps are so important for creating warmth and an invitational environment.

What would you add for creating a cozy space??

Current dilemma..🤔 Downsize to a queen, or keep o Current dilemma..🤔

Downsize to a queen, or keep our king bed?

I love to sprawl out when I sleep but I love the way a queen bed looks vs. the wide king surface (bedding always looks better in my opinion). Theres also the fact that it would give us more space in our room and that G has been on team queen for a whiiiile now (he likes to snuggle😆). 

What are your thoughts?!

Are you one of those people or…..? Truth be told Are you one of those people or…..?

Truth be told I put up our @kingofchristmas trees on HALLOWEEN🤣 They’re just too pretty to go one day of the holiday season without enjoying them!

Our two trees are both the Rushmore Fir - the one in our living room is 7.5 and the one in our sunroom is the 9 ft. Both are prelit and so beautiful😭🎄 #gifted

When does your Christmas tree go up!?
