Remember when I wrote about what I do when I hit a slump around the house? Sometimes I wander through the rooms wanting to change something, but I don’t want to spend money or tackle a big cleaning project. I just want the space to feel refreshed. When that happens, I do something simple but … Read more

HHello! I’m Kylee, and I’m excited to share more of our new home with you. We recently moved into a charming Cape Cod–style house, and it still feels a little surreal that it’s ours. After years in a townhouse, having no shared walls, a yard to care for, and more rooms than I’m used to … Read more

I don’t think I’ve ever properly introduced you to my housekeeper. I’ve mentioned her a few times on social media, so some of you may already know her, but for those who don’t—let me tell you about Roomba. Her name is Roomba, and she’s a compact, round little machine that has become part of our … Read more

Yesterday I shared a Fall table I loved, and I realized I hadn’t shown you what’s currently on my table: two glass hurricanes I received from one of my sponsors. I adore them. They’re classic, versatile, and perfect for seasonal decor. One of the best things about these hurricanes is that you can customize them … Read more

Choosing the right sofa for your home is an important decision. Sofas are an investment that can define a room, so taking time to research and consider your options will pay off in the long run.
