When I was designing Halo’s nursery last fall, it definitely wasn’t the easiest process. I felt overwhelmed by all the different custom nursery designs available to me, not to mention the desire to balance style with functionality. And that was on top of the many other balls I was juggling as I prepared to have […]
Two weeks ago I finally visited my modern luxe living room design for The Revery! The install had been finished shortly after Halo was born. Then, of course, quarantine struck. So after waiting weeks and then both testing negative for COVID-19, Monica and I decided an in-person needed to happen! It was so wonderful to […]
Someone reminded me that this upcoming weekend is Memorial Day, and I frankly couldn’t believe it. This year has seemed so long up ’til this point, and yet suddenly also like it’s flying by!

This post has been 18 months in the making! Yup, sometimes even a one-room design project can take that long to plan, execute, shoot, and share.

With everything going on in the world at the moment, it seems strange to continue with business as usual. And yet at the same time, it feels more important than ever to continue to celebrate the daily beauties and successes in our lives. Before Halo was born and COVID-19 arrived on the scene, we proudly […]
There’s no labor of love quite like decorating a space to welcome a new baby! That’s why I’m so excited to delve into my modern girl nursery design with you guys. Each and every decor choice was one I poured my whole heart into. We created our nursery in partnership with Crate and Kids, and […]
When I first discovered Oak + Fort’s sleek, simple fashions, it was like stumbling upon a minimalist’s gold mine. The Canadian label is much-revered for their architectural approach to apparel, and I’ve gotten a ton of mileage from the pieces I’ve scored there. Think dresses with striking tailoring, pants with unusual pleating and proportions, and […]
I have to admit. While there have been some stressful moments in our preparations for baby’s arrival, on the whole the process has been so much fun. I’ve loved indulging in my nesting instinct! In addition to getting the nursery ready, I’ve also been finding other ways to refresh our home. In our bedroom, for example, […]
