[Photo by Paul Ferney for Oh Happy Day] When we left off a couple of months ago, our newly renovated living room looked like this. Spoiler alert! Save for moving in our very old, very stained sofas, that is pretty much precisely how the room looks today. I’m even going to go so far as …

After the initial mad rush to tackle some of the first big renovation projects around the house immediately after closing, we’ve taken an extended break over the last several weeks as the rest of our life took precedence again. We pretty much look like we just moved in like a week ago. Not exaggerating. With …
I mentioned in my renovation update last week (and also multiple times on Snapchat) that we would be looking to swap out the existing light fixture in our dining room sooner rather than later.

Over the past couple of weeks, my pair of fiddle leafs figs have made a few appearances via social media as I’ve been sharing behind the scenes updates of our renovation (including yesterday on Instagram), yielding several questions on Instagram and Snapchat about how I keep these guys looking so healthy and happy.

The week between Christmas and New Year’s Day is always one where I start thinking about the year ahead. I think that’s a pretty natural tendency for a lot of us following the craze of the holiday season. …
As promised earlier when we were chatting about how to make your guests feel at home for the holidays, I wanted to create this cute Home is Where the WiFi Is sign so it was available to you to download! (Yes, for the record, I find myself pretty clever for thinking this one up. I quite literally …
Washi tape has become entirely pervasive among the DIY crowd over the last few years and you will never ever catch me complaining about that. I’m a huge advocate of a splash of pretty color and pattern here, there and basically everywhere! That said, I’m particularly crazy about the ingenious ways that crafty people are putting …
It’s time for the next installment of our printable art print series! Today’s gem comes to us in three spring inspired color palettes, designed by my sweet friend Maddy Hague of Splendid Supply Co. (You may remember the awesome art print that Maddy shared a couple of months ago, too!) Maddy is such a talented …
