June 15, 2025 Hey friends, This week has been a lot... in the BEST way. We had prop stylists and photographers over to shoot parts of our home for my book!! 😭✨ This was part one of the shoot, and we focused on the upstairs floor for now. Part two is coming up in the first week of August, right before my manuscript is due (wish me luck 😅). I still have SO much to wrap up, but I can’t believe we’ve already made it to the shoot stage. It’s starting to feel real real now, and I can’t wait to...

June 8, 2025 Hey friends, Question... Have you ever looked around your space and thought… it just needs something? Because same. A lot of you have asked for easy ways to upgrade plain walls without breaking the bank, and one of my favorite tricks is Board and batten 🙌 It’s simple, classic, and adds so much charm with just a little effort. Whether you’re working on an entryway, a bedroom, or even just a small nook, board and batten instantly adds texture and character (and trust me, it’s more...

June 1, 2025 Hi Reader! Okay, I know these Sunday Letters have been a little all over the place lately 😅 — but I had to pop into your inbox again this week because I’ve got something I’m so excited to share… and honestly, I just couldn’t wait. There’s a brand new section on the site, and it’s all about the things I get asked about most: Shoppable Moodboards and Printable DIY Plans!! 🎉 Here’s what’s up there so far (and yes, I saved the best for last, so be sure to scroll all the way 👀):...

May 25, 2025 Hey friends, Happy mid-month! I wanted to send out a quick update to fill you in on everything I’ve been up to—lots of exciting things happening! Playroom Makeover Update You’ve probably seen bits of it on Instagram, but the playroom makeover is coming along nicely! I’ve been reupholstering an old chair, and yes, I went all out with a ruffled skirt at the bottom (it’s a bit extra, but I’m loving it). The fabric is definitely a splurge, but trust me—it’s still cheaper than buying...

March 2, 2025 Hey friends, Guess who’s back?! Yep, my Sunday Letters are making a comeback—and this time, I promise to keep them going! And what better way to return than with BIG NEWS?!

June 16, 2024 You guys! My kitchen is being painted this week! It was SO hard to pick a color from my five million paint swatches - all of them a shade of beige of course. I finally decided on Natural Tan by Sherwin Williams. This might be the perfect opportunity to reorganize the kitchen drawers and cabinets. The vent hood arrived earlier this week and I just need to install it. Instead of making my own I ordered a custom vent hood from Hoodsly in the angled without trim style. I have a big...

May 19, 2024 It’s been a minute since we chatted! Hey hey, how’s it going, friends? My parents just arrived from Karachi this week and it’s such a blessing to have them spend time with us and the kids. I’ve got so many updates to share from the last few weeks: I FINALLY made progress on the kitchen cabinets!! I finished the boxes and added trim to the front so they look complete. I have a local carpenter coming out to take measurements for the doors and he’s charging me $60 a door to make...
