See Part I right here! I couldn’t shake that something felt ‘off’ in our living room. We spend a lot of our time in there, rubbing the dogs’ bellies, marathon-ing our way through Netflix, brainstorming upcoming projects and, of course, lots and lots of lounging. At first, I felt like maybe things were a little cramped. […]

An Area Rug Alternative (That’s Affordable!)
Our funny little nook off of the living room has been in constant transition since the day we chose a paint color. Every now and then, we’d swap in a different chair, stack (and re-stack) the books, fuss with plants on the window sill and, as it would seem, rotate rugs in and out that we […]
Things for the Kitchen + an Update
It’s mid-January, and we thought we were going to be eyeballs deep in kitchen renovations and drywall dust – but nope. We’re not surprised (eh, it’s to be expected and there have already been a few minor setbacks), but we are off to a slower start than we would have liked. The contractors will actually […]
A Rug That Punches You In the Face
I said last week that we were totally working outside of our comfort zone, and together with the recovered velvet sofa, our new rug sealed that deal. We picked this up on Ebay, and after staring for weeks at Persians (it became a 15-minute part of my morning routine; shower, coffee, feed the family, check […]
Flor, Take Two
I suppose we’ve been on a bit of a cleaning frenzy. Going back to what I said earlier this week, we’re trying to be mindful of balancing a few things: sanity vs. productiveness and spending money vs. free right now. So, you know what’s (mostly) free? Cleaning! We cleaned the negative energy out of our […]
Our Flor Attraction
Since purging our fluffy, grey rug at this year’s building-wide yard sale, our living space has felt… extra sparse. Not too long ago, we listed our goals with the tweaks we have in mind, but the in-betweens have us – and the kiddos – feeling out of sorts. For the last couple of weeks, our […]
1 Flor, 3 Ways.
1. 2. 3. After pinning a few feasible rug options for the studio earlier this year, my bubble burst when Scott reminded me that my office chair had wheels. While I prefer my someday (much larger) studio to have an ooshy, cushy rug for my bare toes, the boy had a point. How was I […]
Ch-Ch-Changes
The media wall may not be in place yet, but that still doesn’t stop us from humming Bowie’s tune lately. Those that know me well know that I’m not the most patient person on the planet. If I get an idea in my head, it’s full steam ahead until completion. So when we scooped up […]
The Bedroom Blahs Resolved: Part 2
After moving our colorful FLOR rug into the office (more on that here), we knew we needed a punch of color to break up all that soft, green paint. After all, we did go with white curtains. And while we love those curtains and all it’s soft, flowy goodness, we were still on the hunt […]
FLOR Meets DIY
Oh, how we love FLOR. We were jazzed when we saw their doors open to Chicago, and we were just as pleased when we pieced them together in Renee’s living room redo. Their endless choices in color, nap, and style are practically mind boggling, and the hands-on creativity you can bring to the table is […]
