We’re sharing our favorite styling tips. Starting with our favorite cookbooks, filled with recipes sure to satisfy everyone, and did we mention, they’re also great for creating a “wow,” design moment, in any kitchen.

Styling Tips
Not only do these books include so of our all-time favorite recipes, but they’re such a great choice when it comes to styling kitchen spaces. These tips our some of our favorite ways to incorporate them!
Use Fresh Fruits & Veggies
Take a trip to your local farmer’s market and pick up so fresh fruits and vegetables! Not only are you helping your local community, which is so important at this time, but they can give your space an ever so subtle pop of color. Thanks to the seasonality of fruits and veggies, you can have an ever-changing display, or you can spotlight ingredients from the recipes.
Style with Functional Items
Next, a useful tip would be to style your cookbooks using functional items such as utensils, bowls, or mugs. This is also a great opportunity to showcase pretty glassware or canisters that hold your utensils.
Display delectables
Sure, cookbooks are great at providing us with delicious recipes, but can we talk about some of the photography featured in these? And what a better way to create a moment then to put a delectable feast on display, not to mention there are plenty of gorgeous stands ready to be set on your counter.

It’s that time again – update time for the Spring 2020 One Room Challenge. We have made it to Week 4 and things are finally starting to take shape and come together. Recap for those of you who are new around here. I am working on a girls’ bedroom makeover for my daughter, Addison for […]
Hey, hey! Sooo…this post should have been done yesterday. But this week has been a little crazy and yesterday my team and myself (along with my husband and kids) installed a new vacation rental in Pine, AZ. It was an all-day event and by the end of the night and a water leak later, I […]
It’s about time this yard happened! If you have read my other project reveal posts about our interior, then you know that we purchased our current home a little over 2 years ago and the main reason we bought it was because of the backyard. The lot is about half an acre and we fell […]
Hey there! It’s Week 2 of the Spring 2020 One Room Challenge in Partnership with Better Homes & Garden. If you remember from last week, I am working on a girls’ bedroom makeover for my daughter, Addison. In last week’s post I shared about my plans for the room and the color inspiration that we […]
and then we weren’t making any progress. Well, if you remember from this post, we bought our cabin over 8 months ago, so you might be wondering why it’s taken us so long to get it remodeled. I mean, after all, remodeling homes is what we do for a living and we pretty much have […]

Lately, we’ve been all about refreshing our spaces to brighten everyone’s mood and keep things light, but we just can’t stop daydreaming about the outdoors! While we can’t rush out into the world, we do have our outdoor living spaces to let us get a much needed breath of fresh air! Today we’re sharing with […]
We are moving on to the all of the bathrooms and the master bedroom! If you missed the first project reveal for my house, you can read that here. I revealed the before and afters of the kitchen, family room. dining room. entry way and laundry room. I was saying in that post that although […]
we are still hunkering down and staying cozy during our stay at home… Many states have extended their stay at home orders into May and June. Here in Arizona we are hoping ours will over be by the end of this month, but I am doubtful that it will happen as soon as we hope […]
well, we bought a cabin 8 months ago… I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to formally introduce you to our cabin in Pine, AZ. But before I do, let me take through the back story of the last 8 months… Elmon (that’s my husband!) and I had been talking about purchasing a cabin […]
By now, when Spring rolls around, we’re used to tones of pink, yellow, and blue pastels. While these shades are beautiful, nonetheless, seeing pastels for spring are just like seeing florals for spring, and as the great Miranda Priestly once said “Florals for spring? Groundbreaking.“ That’s why, for our spring color palette, we’ve chosen muted […]
wait until you see the before & afters of this home… I can’t believe I haven’t shared this project reveal with you on the blog. It’s one of my favorites because…well, it’s my house! We have lived here for not quite 2 years and although my home has been featured on Rue and The Haven […]
Always in season… While it’s seem to have been trending everywhere lately, brass hardware is a gorgeous feature that deserves to definitely become a staple in your kitchen and bathrooms. It’s versatile (let’s talk about ALL of those possible finishes – brushed, polished, antiqued, unlaquered – should I go on?), brings warmth to a space, […]
Summer’s not here yet… Teacher’s deserve so much credit! With stay-at-home orders in full effect, a few of us have had to add a new occupation to our list, since most schools are shut down for the rest of the school year. So, what can we do to make the transition to temporary teacher easier? […]
