Yesterday, I asked a question in an Instagram post. I asked, "What do you think is the number one question you should be asking before decorating your home?" I know what my answer is, but some of the responses are too good not to share before I get started. Some of the serious answers showed…

Today, I'll share a few things that I've learned from styling our living room.

I received my Young Living starter kit in the mail today! After smelling my friend's bottle of Thieves last year, I've wanted a kit of my own.

If you have a lot of wall space, it can seem overwhelming and impossible to fill without looking cluttered or costing a fortune. I think that Ben and I have found the "best kept secret" of affordable and beautiful wall art.
Last month, Ben and I had the incredible opportunity to visit his parents in Istanbul, Turkey. Ben's dad, Robert, works for the international division of a construction company based in Colorado Springs. He manages projects overseas on behalf of American contractors. Most of his projects are in Europe and the Middle East, so Robert and…
My friend Stephanie's kitchen was just like mine. Large, dark, and perfectly fine. The dark 80's cabinets are in great shape, but needed a little refreshing. When the lovely Tricia from The Purple Painted Lady™ reached out to me about a partnership, I knew I wanted to help Stephanie with her kitchen.
