I’ve got chairs on the brain. This is, of course, nothing new. But they’re even more front of mind than usual lately, as I’m undertaking a living and dining room re-do in our new house. As much as I’m fond of all our old pieces, their scale and proportion isn’t quite right for the dimensions […]
Soothing Spring Bedroom Inspiration from Annie Selke
It’s our last day in India! It has been an adventure, to say the least. I’ve loved seeing this part of the world—meeting so many warm and welcoming people and learning more about how they live—and a part of me will be wistful to leave. At the same time, as is to be expected at […]

Black and White Global Decor Inspiration from Bali
My friend Liz is galavanting through Bali right now. Every time I log onto Instagram I see her cavorting with monkeys, dipping into deep green pools, and feasting on juicy ripe fruit. I’m not jealous, I promise. Especially since she messaged me with the name of a local home decor shop she stumbled on. Kim Soo […]
Embracing Change with the Easiest Decor Upgrade Ever!
As a total word nerd, I love learning about the origins of words and the meanings packed within them. One of my favorites is the word ‘January’. It comes the name of the Roman deity Janus, who was the god of beginnings and transitions. Janus was traditionally depicted as having two faces, since he looked both […]
An Exclusive Interview with Kirsten Grove of Simply Grove + Simply Styling Book
