Hey, friends!!! This week has been an absolute blur! Emma arrived on Monday night, and we have been working all the daylight hours on our cookbook photography (basically making yummy food and taking photos ALL day every day) and then going to bed super early and repeating. Haha – this post is ...

I'm a color lover, but I find myself gravitating to very specific color groupings. I'm all about most shades of pink, bold yellows, and subtle blues. Throw in lots of black and white and I'm a happy gal! This month's Messy Box was especially easy for me to fall in love with, and I can see mysel...

After waaaay too long of a wait, we finally get to announce A Color Story is available on Android!! We're so happy with how it turned out and can't wait to see what our Android friends make with the app! It was quite the process getting here, and it took much longer than the matter of weeks we...

YAY! I cannot wait to get to this room!! It's no where near complete and we haven't even moved into it yet. So come and dream with me....? My big goal for the room is to keep it WAY simple. That's weird for me because I don't love bare, minimalist decor. I do, however, love a good night's slee...

Hey, friends! We're so excited to share some fun ideas for embellishing your balloons today! We've all seen the pretty tassels you can make for balloons (like the ones we made for Emma's wedding reception), and we thought it would be fun to partner with Balloon Time to create some fresh alterna...

Hello, friends! I'm getting dangerously close to having TWO finished rooms to share with you soon. I can't believe we're finally to this point. HUGE milestone. I thought I'd share one more progress report on the kitchen. It's at that awkward stage where it could pass as finished even though it...

Our Habitat for Humanity project house had one full bathroom as well as a laundry room that needed some serious attention. You can see more of the before photos of these spaces here. Where do I even begin with the bathroom? It was seriously one of the saddest bathrooms I've ever seen. The fl...

We're excited to show you guys the final look of our Habitat for Humanity project house kitchen. This is probably the space that transformed the most (tied with the bathroom). I am fairly partial to kitchens, as you can probably guess. But even if you don't love cooking, like me, I do think a...

Light painting is a beautiful phrase, isn't it? Light painting happens when your camera records the movement of light. In this post I'm going to show you how to paint with light using sparklers! I'm sure you've seen the photos with sparklers lighting up a picture with text or shapes. Today I'l...

We are soooo excited to finally announce A Beautiful Mess: The Documentary!! It's been so hard keeping it a secret after almost a year of having cameras following us around all the time gathering footage. Our good friend Brandon Goodwin had just wrapped up his work on Linotype and was looking f...

OK, I'm gonna be honest. I almost didn't finish this album. In January my computer was stolen from my car and a lot of photos I took in December were lost (as well as my sanity for a couple days—heh). But last weekend we were at Todd and Laura's house and she showed me her December Daily album...

When it comes to holiday door decor, the wreath is king. I would like to suggest, however, a different category of door adornment for your front porch this year—the banner! Banners are really easy to make, and they make a big statement because of their size. Throw in a holiday phrase and you go...

One of my favorite things about fall is getting to wear boots! They're such a classic piece that go with so many things. Loeffler Randall is one of my favorite shoe brands and makes really high quality boots that last forever. So today we've partnered with them to give away this pair of Marit ...
