Our guest room is probably the room that most reflects my changing taste in interiors over the last few years and as a result, it’s gone through the most iterations of any room in our house since we moved in. When we first moved in, I envisioned a neutral room with dark furniture. We already had a black metal bed frame that I loved and some secondhand IKEA nightstands from the guest room of our condo, so I used that as my starting point. I added my favorite Loloi rug and our old IKEA dresser from the main bedroom of...

MY 2022 HOME GOALS
Hello again! It's been a long time since my last post - more than six months, to be specific. 2021 was a tough one and with everything going on it was time to take a break from the blog. Things are looking up in 2022 though, and I'm excited to get back to my favorite creative outlet! I thought it would be fun to kick the year off by sharing my goals for our home in 2022. Most of these projects have been in my head for a while, but I thought the new year would be a good opportunity...

HOW TO PAINT YOUR KITCHEN CABINETS
Today's post is a looooong time coming. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that one of the first projects I tackled after we closed on our house was painting the kitchen cabinets.

OUR KITCHEN DESIGN PLAN & INSPIRATION
One of the many reasons that I loved our house right away was because when I stepped into each room, it was like I could instantly picture its potential. The kitchen was no exception - the minute I saw it, I pictured white cabinets, pretty brushed brass fixtures, marble countertops, and an organic subway tile backsplash.

THE BEST OF THE TARGET SPRING HOME COLLECTION
It's no secret that, like every other basic woman, I'm obsessed with Target. However, I do not have an endless supply of money, so I've mastered the art of window shopping. My Target is close enough to walk to (I don't because there aren't sidewalks and I'm lazy, but still), so during non-quarantine times I typically go to Target at least once a week. My favorite section is definitely the home decor section, and Target's selection just keeps getting better. I love seeing product roundups from design bloggers I follow, so I thought I'd throw together one of my own.
