I’ve admitted here before that I didn’t grow up caring too much about applying makeup or doing my hair…and sometimes, I’m still kind of like that. I do pay more attention to those things now, though, and have learned that having someone knowledgeable to ask questions of and to perform certain treatm

As soon as the weather starts to have a glimmer of warmth in it, I’m pretty sure most of us are looking for ways to enjoy the outdoors, including creating inviting living spaces, beyond the walls of our home. When we moved into our new house last Fall, one of the things I was most excited about (oth

I've been in full-on project mode around our house and it has felt amazing to get a few things actually accomplished and checked-off my to-do list! I know you're busy too, so I love sharing my home decor, accessory, and furniture finds with you to help make your job of decorating your house a bit ea

The Gordmans Grand Opening Event was so fun to shop this last week! I shared the whole thing with my Instagram fam, did you get a chance to catch it? Just in case you didn’t, I’m sharing my finds with you here too because they’re just too good to keep to myself!

Struggling to find the right area rugs for your home? I'm taking the guess work out of the process by sharing some of my favorites with you from Wayfair! There are several colorful designs to choose from, as well as, some that have a more neutral, yet eclectic design. Happy shopping!

26 days. What’s 26 days you ask? Well, that’s how long it’s been since Jason and I have eliminated as much processed sugar from our diet as we can. How am I doing with the whole thing?

We're finally getting our deck set up for Summer entertaining and now I'm obsessed with all things outdoors! We've been in our house a little over 7 months now and this is the first time we've ever had a deck and patio. I'm so excited to have friends over and start making some memories here! Never m

As I’m sitting down to write this blog post, I’m feeling a little uninspired, so I thought I’d share a place I like to go when I need some inspiration for myself—Instagram. Not sure if you’re on it or not, although, it’s tough to find anyone these days who doesn’t have an account! I use Instagram

I've always loved Target, but when they released their Opalhouse collection they won my whole heart. Well, maybe not my whole heart...Jason has that. But you know what I mean... So much delightful boho and whimsy for the home! All the patterns and colors make me smile and I think they will you too.

I have been so lucky lately to get to work with my clients in a bunch of different spaces—all so different from each other! One of them is a downtown Des Moines apartment in a cool new location. The Flux Apartments are located just on the outskirts of downtown and are within walking distance to a co

How is it May already?? That's completely banana boats! Also, I was told that April showers bring May flowers, but what do May showers bring? All they seem to bring to me is a crabby attitude. Ha! Hoping it warms up soon so we can actually do some work in the yard. It's been a little here and there,

I thought I’d start something a little new around here! I miss the days of yesteryear when blogging was hip and cool and primarily consisted of reading about people’s lives and looking at the pictures they would share along side of it. There’s certainly a need for the DIY and the how-to posts, but I
