Oh hi! This post is long overdue!
Earlier this year Katy approached me about helping with her new home. She, with her husband Josh and their two young daughters, had recently relocated back to Omaha, purchasing and settling into their house just in time for the birth of their newest family members, twin girls! After a welcomed adjustment period, she was itching for the chance to tackle some projects and start making their house feel like home.
Read MoreEarly last month I had the privilege of styling a vibrant table setting for an issue in Wedding Essentials Magazine. The theme for the editorial – as developed by Art Director, Heidi Thorson – was Embroidered Moments, focusing on subtle textures, lively color, and that free-spirited bohemian whimsy I'm all about. The issue just went live last week which means you can check it out here!
Read MoreRight after Christmas whilst un-decking my halls, and officially determining this the final year for my hot pink Christmas tree, I realized I was ready to move on from our living room's pink accent wall as well.

But as a renter, it's just part of the deal – learning to reimagine some shortcomings (and, more realistically, ignore the permanent ones). For a more complete breakdown of our bathroom's specific eyesores check out Part I here.
And here's how it looks now!
Read MoreFour years ago, this was the first room I attempted to update upon moving in to our rental duplex. Having previously occupied a slew of apartments – all boasting charming vintage bathrooms, each cuter than the last – our good-fortune finally ran out. It's not completely horrific, and we're graced with a downstairs bathroom, so no one but Luke and I really have to see this one. But the reality is we use it all the time and the small cluster of sad design choices make it a big bummer.
Read MoreI'm so excited to finally share this space with you! It's been over a year in the making and seen several iterations, but I think we've finally settled on a layout that is both conducive for Luke's workflow and, arguably equally-important, satiates my obsession for pretty, above all else.
Read MoreA new client project reveal feels like a nice way to jump back into blogging! You may recall I set the stage for this makeover back in November, but then I got greedy and didn't want it drowned out in all the holiday frenzy.
This one's a slight departure from my typical bold color, multi-pattern, quirky vintage MO (don't worry, it's still there, just in more measured doses). Even so, it
