The black evergreen paint made for a dramatic background for our cozy bed from Zinus. I love the contrast in this room with the white curtains and lighter bedding. The art, decor and nightstands area all thrifted, and the handmade Persian rug ties it all together!

The most common question I am asked on Instagram is, “What color paint is that?!” It felt like I was answering that question 10x a day, so I decided to do a quick roundup of ALL the paint colors you will find throughout my blog and on my Instagram feed.

These home office essentials will help you create a space that is cozy, functional and aesthetically pleasing. If you work from home, this is extra important! It took me over a year to create an office space that I loved and all eight of these items play a key role. Happy working from home!

I am dying for spring outfits. Anyone else? I got to wear this cute outfit from JustFab on a date night RIGHT before we were all ordered to stay at home. I’m looking forward to that day I can actually wear a dress again. I mean, I guess I could wear one to the grocery store? And shoes, I’ve worn them maybe* 3 times in the last 2.5 weeks.

For our first wedding anniversary, we headed up to Traverse City, Michigan for a wonderful bed and breakfast experience along with unbelievable wine tasting. It was the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary over a long weekend and on a budget!

I’ve gotten a few questions about my business and career path lately, so I figured I would take the time to share more in depth. The simple look at my careers goes something like this: high school > college > entry level job in my field > mid-level job in my field.
