I've never heard of Stitchfix before, but it sounds like a very cool concept! Love the pieces they sent you - especially the chevron dress!
And on a completely unrelated note, did you happen to paint that canvas that's in the photos behind you? The colors are amazing!
Stitch Fix!
I got my second Stitch Fix last week and am addicted. I love it and have kept 2 things from each of my boxes. I don't normally have a problem styling the clothes that I have, or finding things I like at the store, but I decided to try Stitch Fix because I always buy the same thing. So when I'm ...
Thanks Molly - they're super easy, too! :)
Tasty Eats // Cilantro Ginger Chicken Skewers with Sweet Chili Glaze
It's definitely been feeling like summer the last couple of weeks here in Sacramento... we've already had a handful of nearly 100 degree days, which means lots of outdoor grilling and cold salads! Shish Kabobs, or any kind of meat and veggie skewers really, have always been a favorite meal of...

Ha! Thanks!
Chopping up ingredients is (strangely) one of my favorite parts of cooking, and chiffonad(ing?) basil is especially fun! :)
Tasty Eats // A favorite chopped salad
I saw this chopped salad recipe floating around pinterest a while back, and couldn't wait to try it! It's actually a Biggest Loser recipe, and it looked so fresh, simple and healthy, which are all great things in my book. Chopped salads are always a favorite of mine, since you get little bit...

Fun! Looking forward to seeing how your renovation (and subsequent decoration!) turns out - I'm always a fan of your aesthetic!
Interiors i love // Neutral Spaces with Black Accents
I've noticed that I've been so drawn to neutral spaces with black accents lately. Sometimes a completely neutral space with only shades of white and tan can be a little boring, so I like the contrast + drama that adding a little black provides. Here are some spaces that have been really catching...
Thanks, Rosie! I'm happy you like my design :)
I included links to all items on this board above (the items are numbered on the board, and below the board you will find links to all of the numbered items).
Please let me know if you have any other questions!
Best,

Mood Board // A Calming Neutral Bedroom
Today I put together a bedroom mood board. I'm going to be changing up my own bedroom in the next few months, so have been looking for some inspiration. While I know I won't be sticking to this mood board exclusively (some of the price points are a bit too high for me!), there are certainly some...

Hi Pat -
I'm so sorry to hear that! :( I've had my same Fiskars paper cutter for a few years now, and have never had any problems with it (and I've used it for quite a few projects!)
I wonder if you'd have better luck with a different brand? This one on amazon seems to have pretty good reviews:

Good luck!
Best,
Kristen
DIY // Faux Capiz Shell Chandelier
I've always liked the beachy, airy quality of capiz shell chandeliers, but they're usually pretty expensive (at least all the one I like are - see exhibit A for $355 & exhibit B for $495... and more "designer" versions can be anywhere from $1000-$4000!) Anyway, a few months ago I was admiring ...

Yes - the chocolate chips certainly don't hurt! ;) I hope you like them!
Tasty Eats // Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Muffins
I have a great muffin recipe for you today! I loved these muffins, and what's really great about them is they are flourless, oil & butter free, and mostly sugar-free (they do have natural sugars from the bananas & honey!), so they're pretty darn healthy, too. The main ingredients are oats, ri...
Thanks so much - they're pretty tasty!
I'm not totally sure what the difference is between the two, but I think quick oats may be more processed so they cook quicker than old fashioned oats?
Either way, I'm sure you can use either one for this recipe! :)

Mood Boards // A Welcoming & Relaxing Living Room, Kitchen, and Dining Room
Hi guys! I've had my hands pretty full with design projects lately (which is awesome!), but realized I hadn't shared any in a while, so I figured I needed to fix that! For this project, I was working on a living room, kitchen nook, and dining room design scheme for a busy family with three litt...
Hi Katherine -
That's a good idea! I can definitely do a post on some of my "go-to" sources. I'll plan on it!
Thanks,
Kristen

Me too! I've been really digging some darker spaces lately! Though, if I HAD to choose a favorite, I'd still go with light, airy rooms :)

The baby clothes are so cute on those little hangers!!
And yes, cherry tomatoes grow SO MUCH faster than regular tomatoes - and they keep growing after the regular tomatoes have already stopped, which is awesome. You will love it!

around here.
It's beginning to get a little pink around here. How fun to have tiny baby clothes in the house! In addition to a closet full of tiny outfits (don't worry that stuff spans newborn to one year), my "real stuff" orders are beginning to trickle in. We have a crib! And crib ...
