We just booked a spring break trip to Austin and I’m so excited because I can finally start thinking about wearing warmer clothes, spending time outside, and checking off my spring wishlist, one item at a time! I’m sure it’s obvious but winter in Chicago is long and brutal (and they say this year was mild)… especially for this Southern California transplant. I’m missing the beaches and fair weather more than ever so I’m infusing those elements into our…
Did you know kitchen styling was even a thing? Here’s my philosphy on giving your kitchen the most aesthetically pleasing vibe possible… when you’re buying something to decorate your kitchen with, make sure it’s usable and vice versa, when you need a certain item in your kitchen like a butter dish, make sure it’s visually pleasing.

One of my most asked questions I get any time I post about the babes room is where their bunk beds are from so I thought I’d share some of my favorite bunk beds for all budgets and why I love bunk beds for small spaces!
I did so much research when it came time to purchase a bed because a.) I’m picky and B.) I knew I needed something that worked in…
Organization. The key to living in a small home, successfully. The key to success in business, the key to so many many different kinds of success. To say our studio was unorganized is an understatement. At some point in time, it became a dumping ground for things we didn’t know where they should go and for items that needed to be dealt with at a later time.
