With summer right around the corner, I'm already dreaming of casual gatherings, and warm evenings out on the porch with something cool to drink. I also can't help but think of ways to decorate our home for the season, as well as ideas for making parties more festive. Here are a few things I'm currently...
Though Christmas has long since passed, spring seems to be the other time of year when gift giving happens the most. Between the upcoming wedding season (I have three to attend before June), graduations, Mother's Day and Father's Day, I'm always on the lookout for beautiful, practical gifts. With that...
I love finding things for the home that are a slightly unique take on an otherwise common object, such as an everyday condiment bowl that's exquisitely designed, or a light fixture that takes a room to a whole new level. Whether they're vintage finds, made by hand, or even mass-produced, they add a lot...
Over the years, after repeated closet purging and de-cluttering, I've learned to become more intentional about what I place in my home and what I shop for.

Here in Michigan, cooler weather arrived early this year, so I've already been thinking about ways to warm up this winter. For some reason, I've never invested in good blankets or throws, even though they're my favorite thing to cozy up with and they double as great accessories. I...
As the cooler fall weather moves in, I love creating a cozier atmosphere at home by pulling out extra pillows, throws and candles.

The arrival of fall and the back-to-school frenzy always puts me in the mood to freshen up my home workspace (hello, cute office supplies!) and storage areas (messy closets, I'm looking at you). Whether you're looking to completely makeover a room or just make some small improvements, here...
We built our first patio this summer and are hoping to enjoy it well into fall here in the Midwest.
