When designing a home, I believe that each space should have at least one room that is devoted to a relaxing and calm atmosphere. No matter who you are or what kind of life you live, giving yourself the space and permission to unplug is very important. This may be a bedroom, library, spa bathroom or main living space – whatever the case, being intentional about designing a room that evokes rest with muted tones, minimal clutter, no technology distractions, walls that are not-too-busy with plenty of natural light are an obvious indicator for those who enter what the space is for (and what it’s not for). Be sure to create space in your home that is free of the business of life for your daily wellbeing as well as connecting with the people you live – distraction free.

We enjoy good coffee and have tried every type of coffee brewing method, eventually landing on a few tried and true methods along with coffee makers that have lasted most of our marriage. If you are also an avid coffee drinker and appreciate items that are function + beautiful, head to the post where I discuss the differences between different brewing methods, our favorite (and least favorite) plus lots of links!
Peel and stick wallpaper is a hot topic and I shared our candid experience with installing the faux grasscloth in our bedroom. Be sure to give this post a look if you’re considering installing some in a room of your own!
While we’re on the topic of bedrooms, the girls’ room got a sweet new addition with this curvy top mirror from Target. I haven’t ordered much from there recently but this is definitely an item I can vouch for. Great size, pretty brass finish and no fun-house effect.
what’s in my shopping cart
A few items lately have caught my eye (talking about you, McGee & Co. tent sale) and some wardrobe staples I’m rotating into my closet:
Happy Friday!
