I learned in college that, including windows, a living room should have 7-10 light sources to be adequately lit! Sounds like sort of a lot, right? In general I don’t worry too much about the specific fixture count, as much as the goal, which should be optionality and LAYERS of light sources. Lighting is for sure one of my favorite things to shop for - it’s like the jewelry of an outfit and can turn a pretty basic space into something that feels more considered and designed! Even the affordable options add so much to a room. These Amazon picture lights are cordless and rechargeable - and only $30 each! I’ll link to them in my stories!

SWIPE for a little before and after action! I had the opportunity to come in and do a quick one-day makeover on my friend’s home. She and her two boys and their sweet dog, Gus, are living in a rental after some very sudden life changes, without any of their own furniture. It was so fun to see this family fall in love with a space that hadn’t yet felt good to them. It’s amazing what a little art, some soft textures and warm colors can do for a home! 🧡 What’s your favorite piece in here? For me, it’s a three-way tie between the rust velvet sofa, the new @juniperprintshop pieces by @anee.rabbit and my buddy Gus Gus!! (Honorable mention to Michael’s coveralls, his favorite workwear 😂)

Sometimes the DIY stars align and a project comes together easily and quickly with supplies already on hand. This skirted bench, made with vintage @schumacher1889 fabric I’ve had in my stash for years, was finished in just a few hours and works perfectly to hide the puppy kennels in our mudroom! The puppies love it, and we love it too! 🤍 I haven’t had a lot of time for this kind of DIY project in the last two years so it felt good to prove to myself I’ve still got those make-it-work skills in me somewhere! 💪🏼

We welcomed to little puppies home today and all feels right in the world. Meet Jasper and Frankie! 🤎🤎

Do you love the look of bleached white oak like I do?! Here’s a great hack for you! 👉🏼 Oven cleaner can be used to strip old stain off solid wood! It’s faster and creates a more uniform finish than paint stripper, in my opinion. That said, I think I would actually stick to Citrustrip and good old fashion sanding for larger pieces of furniture that probably shouldn’t be exposed to a ton of water. The oven cleaner worked like a charm on these old thrift stores frames I got this weekend though! I would definitely recommend this method for smaller projects with a lot of detail. I have a old carved box with a flaking finish that I might try tackling next! 🙌🏼 What have you used Oven Cleaner to strip? I’d love to see your projects!

Spring vibes in my kitchen today, courtesy of some potted bulbs that bloomed overnight, and a new @laureldawn.cornerstudio for @juniperprintshop print up on the backsplash! 🌸 We launched 30 new prints today and I would love to hear which are your favorites! I’m looking around my house for spots to hang Swan, Silver Lake, Treeline and Java and…
