{diy} HAIRPIN LEG SIDE TABLE
I love these hairpin leg tables. I’m kind of obsessed with the industrial look right now. It’s a juggle for me because I really like to feel cozy at home, but I also love the industrial look (which can seem cold because of all the metal). So I have been trying to balance the metal with…

ASPARAGUS, TOMATO, CORN + ORZO PASTA SALAD
My kids love pasta and would probably eat that and pizza every night. But instead of always putting a tomato sauce on the pasta, I like to switch it up sometimes.

MASTER BEDROOM INSPIRATION BOARD
As you know we recently moved to a new house-this is literally a dream come true for me, I have a blank slate and so many rooms to decorate. It’s a bit overwhelming because I want it all perfect pretty much immediately. I just have to remind myself that we were in our previous house…
