Canvas Sketchbooks

For gifts this year, the kids made personalized journals for their teachers.I picked up a few of these canvas sketchbooks from Blicks.

Flokati Rugs
Flokati Rugs

I love the idea of stepping out of bed in the morning onto the softest, furry pile of wool. So I've been thinking a flokati rug would be so cozy and swanky (I vow to never use that word again - it had to be done) in our soon-to-be-dark-walled bedroom.I've been looking around for a nice flokati (aka …

If you have $20 burning a hole in your pocket, I know how you can spend it. IKEA's Eivor throw is such a great little blanket. It feels like everyone has one, and for good reason.It's soft like a knitted sweater and it washes well, but the biggest selling point is the great black and white stripe - …

Black Walls in Our Bedroom
Black Walls in Our Bedroom

There are four bedrooms in the new house. Two on the garden level and then two more on the floor above the living room/dining room/kitchen. It made sense for us to be on the same floor as the girls (who will all be sharing a room for the next couple years at least). The bedrooms on the garden level …
