When we renovated our home, we took a slow and collected approach to filling the rooms with furniture. After completing the rest of the house, the final room was our dining room. I had been hunting for months for the right table and upholstered chair to fit the space and finally found the perfect solution

Grasscloth Parlor Reveal
I have never been happier with the result of a project quite like this. After a mishap with ordering too little of the grasscloth and finally finishing the install, I can honestly say- it was worth the effort. This modern traditional parlor is better than I could have ever imagined it and I’m looking forward

Spring One Room Challenge Week 3: Art Glorious Art
I used to have rug commitment issues but now I have art commitment issues. In my early days of living on my own, I could have a room completely furnished (and art hung on the walls) and still be lacking a rug. I just never met a rug that spoke to me (within my budget).

Spring One Room Challenge Week 2 – I Hate The Paint
Well, that didn’t take long. I suppose I should have done a tester before I mocked up the boards for the parlor refresh. What looks good on paper does not always look good on the walls. French Gray is out… but here is what I’m considering and why the change.

One Room Challenge Guest Bedroom Reveal
Supply chain issues!! My favorite reason for why this post is so beyond delayed from my other One Room Challenge posts – which due to my infrequent blogging updates I will also blame on supply chain issues… But in seriousness, as I stare down the sun-strewn guest bedroom from my office chair, I’m so proud

ORC Week 2: Guest Bedroom Textiles and Products
For week two of the One Room Challenge (to see inspiration and read post one, head here), the only thing I did was connect with suppliers and order textiles. The guest bedroom had just been left to be blah and its gray and white color palette wasn’t the most inspiring. For this space, I’m imagining

Shade Garden Oasis Makeover with The Home Depot x Traeger Grills
It’s been a long 3 months of work, but we couldn’t be more excited to share the final reveal of our outdoor entertaining oasis with the Home Depot and Traeger Grills. Our condo’s courtyard had mainly been left to neglect over the past few years. However, with the help of Home Depot and a little

All the Details on Our White Kitchen Transformation
The #ThisRuffHouse renovation we did last summer has garnered a lot of questions from you all on Instagram. There have been a few additional projects in the works (like our gorgeous Dry Bar) but I gotta say, as for the transformation itself, I still cannot believe that this is the same house. The house had
