I shared our bedding in our rental a couple weeks ago, we are still loving it! And just ordered a couple more toxic-free mattresses from Tuft & Needle for the rest of the beds in our new home. I honestly haven't slept on a mattress that I liked right away like Tuft & Needle. Right now they are having a big sale. Linking up some of my favorites below and WHY I picked them! When budget allows, you may consider making the switch to a non toxic mattress and non toxic bedding. We spend 8 hours out of every 24 on our bed. Some mattresses are made with things that when our skin ... Read More
Affordable Backyard Ideas- Hanging Chairs, Sectional and More
My sister and brother-in-law have a great backyard, lots of time spent back there with both our families. It was already a great space, just needed some comfortable seating.

My brother-in-law just extended the patio with a nice rounded edge so there was enough space for a larger outdoor dining table that could ... Read More
Mudroom and Pool Room to Solve Pool Towel Saga
We do have a basement in our Utah home. I haven't shared much of it…today I wanted to share our mudroom that has a basement entrance to our backyard, which leads right to the pool. It will be a great space for pool goers to access a bathroom, a place to grab towels, shower and grab a beverage. Figuring out the towel situation was probably the only annoying thing about having a pool…I know, first world problems. But having a pool in our previous home made me aware that towels need to be part of the pool plan!! Let me elaborate on the towels. One too many times kids would get out to the pool ... Read More

Our Light Fixtures and How to Pick The Right Size
I feel like I have seen every light fixture there is online. So much time browsing lights. But finally selected and ordered the lights for our Remodel, I think I am going to have a lot of free time on my hands now that is done! Ended up ordering over 50 lights! Entry, bedrooms, bathrooms, exterior, kitchen, hallways, etc. One thing that really helped me decide on lights was putting them in the room…. not REALLY "in the room", but via computer magic. I shared a video on Instagram how to try something on for size HERE. I will walk you through it on this post, keep reading! One of the ... Read More
Our Primary Bedroom and Bathroom Plans
I had several people ask me if my "look" is going to change with our Utah home. It would be hard to drastically change my style, because it is just something I naturally do. That being said, my style has evolved over the years, but there are always smilier elements. Our bedroom and bathroom is no exception. I would say it leans towards a Scandinavian style, simple, and lots of texture. I like a lived-in eclectic look. Today I am sharing our plans for our bedroom and bathroom. Bedroom Before and Now... We are leaving the brick wall and just giving it a paint update. Also the windows ... Read More
