A Spring Tablescape with MacKenzie-Childs

Being one who loves a good neutral palette, I was thrilled at the opportunity to feature the new MacKenzie-Childs Sweetbriar Collection. This collection includes linens, florals, and dinnerwear which are handmade, hand-glazed terracotta, all made in Aurora. I got a sneak peek of the design process last spring during my trip to Camp Courtly Check and have been anxious to see the entire collection unfold. Whether you like neutrals or soft pastels, the white color makes the perfect canvas for your spring tablescape. ...

Moments Together with Pottery Barn

Austin and I celebrated our 5-year wedding anniversary back in March, and it feels like just yesterday we were registering for our new home essentials at Pottery Barn. Being fresh out of grad school, we really needed a few items to make our house feel like a home. At that point in our lives, we were both ready to move on from the bare essentials of college and start building out our home. Wedding planning is fun (and stressful!) but finishing out a home together can also be a special time. ...

How To Style Floating Shelves

Happy Friday everyone! I am excited to share a little home update with you, specifically in my office. Since transitioning jobs, I now work full time from my house. Being in the fashion industry, my office is also my closet. So it only makes sense for me to have a clothing rack and shelves for the products I will be styling and shooting for upcoming content. It helps for styling purposes and makes it easier to plan my editorial calendar. We recently installed these Floating Shelves from Minted. I have been searching for something to put above my clothing rack and these shelves were perfect. I love the way they look in my office and they were just the right size for holding my small purses, knickknacks and art. When your styling floating shelves, it's important to remember these tips:

  1. Pick a color theme. You can probably tell I love neutrals and you're right. I have pops of color throughout our house, but for my office I wanted clean and neutral colors.
  2. Mix shapes and sizes. You don't want everything to be the same height. It's important to mix different heights to make the shelves interesting and balanced.
