ADDING MOSS TO YOUR FAUX (OR LIVE) TREE

Adding moss to your indoor faux (or live) tree can elevate the look of your plant + fake the real thing. If you don’t have a green thumb, realistic faux trees are widely available and a great way to add some life to your space. I like to place faux trees in larger planters and top with moss to make them look as close to the real deal as possible! You can find great oversized planters at Target, HomeGoods or home improvement stores like Lowe’s, Home Depot + Menard’s.

I linked a roundup of my current favorite faux trees along with moss to top them with below:


LATELY

We celebrated my mom’s birthday last weekend and I made this German Chocolate Cake that was to die for. I followed the recipe below + iced the sides with a dark chocolate ganache = perfection. Do yourself a favor and make this over the weekend or save it for later.

GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE

Our dining room is becoming quite an eclectic space, but I’m really loving it! We spend a lot of time in here working from the dining room table while the kids craft and it’s a really inspiring space to be in. This knobby, turned leg table is still one of the best pieces of furniture I’ve found and I love that it has a place here.


Last week after receiving a few Q’s on what my process is for working with clients, I wrote a quick blog post about working with Interior Designers virtually. This has become one of the best + most accessible ways to get invaluable designer input if you’re embarking on any project. If you’ve ever wondered if it’s worth hiring a designer, read my take on the process below!

Come with me as I work on giving Cohen’s room a Come with me as I work on giving Cohen’s room a little refresh! He was in need of a nice, flat weave rug (because Legos) and I was really excited to get this Henley rug by @loloirugs x @joannagaines @magnolia from their latest collab. I have these rugs all over my house because I seriously love them and they wear so well! More to come on this little room of his.

I had found this rattan pedestal planter at @homeg I had found this rattan pedestal planter at @homegoods a few weeks ago and didn’t buy it, but I just had to go back for it. I think it will live here in our dining room for now!

Uncover the back patio with me! After days of rain Uncover the back patio with me! After days of rain it’s time to let the furniture breathe a bit and open everything up to the sun. With part of our patio being pea gravel, the easiest way to get loose stones back where they belong is with our leaf blower - we recently topped it off with more gravel so it’s looking extra plush lately. You will find me here tonight pretending that it’s already the weekend 🥂

A moment for my latest @facebook marketplace find A moment for my latest @facebook marketplace find 🫶 this wrought iron chaise for $50 + new cushion from @walmart is going to my mvp this summer. I rearranged the back patio a bit and I’m loving how it feels. Just a little reminder that it doesn’t take big bucks or an overhaul for something to feel fresh again!
