It's ever so slowly starting to feel like spring, but for now I'm happy hanging inside (with all the blinds up, of course) because I finally finished the pink accent wall project I've been dreaming up for many moons! I'm an interior paint novice, but there are just too many white walls in this apartment of ours. I decided months ago that it needed a pop, preferably pink, but it took time to research sustainable paint companies before I found a brand I aligned with and that featured colors I ... Read More

My Light & Bright Dining Nook
Late last summer, my boyfriend and I moved to a new apartment here in Seattle. It's almost twice as big as our last space, and I've been slowly pulling it together ever since. (More on that later.) Luckily, around the same time, I heard from Ohh Happy Home, an affordable Australian fair trade rug brand that we'd posted about in our ethically made rugs guide (among others). They wanted us to see what their washable rugs were like IRL, especially because they now ship to the US! Given my prior ... Read More
Eco Friendly Cabin Decor for Fall with Zuahaza
Fall is my favorite, so you can imagine my frustration when cooler temps and transitioning trees didn't come to Seattle until about mid-October this year. But it's here now and bringing me a much needed mood-booster on my neighborhood walks as the sun goes down each afternoon. In anticipation, last month Jennifer and I retreated to the mountains in Oregon for a fall shoot and some much needed time to work on our latest project. While there, we cozied up with Zuahaza's eco friendly cabin decor, ... Read More
Neutral bedroom ideas with Zuahaza
I can't believe it's been almost two years since we last collaborated with Zuahaza, makers of artisan Colombian textiles and home decor. We met them early on in both of our social media journeys and become fast Insta friends. I'd been blogging about sustainable living and ethical shopping for a few years; Tatiana and Veelie had been cooking up a brand that honored traditional Colombian craftsmanship while offering modern home goods worldwide. I loved that they always told the stories of not ... Read More
How to Transform Your Bedroom with Ethically Made Home Decor
Kay, I know we're full of home decor talk this summer (admittedly that says a lot about how I'm coping with the world at the moment but hey it makes me feel better and I get to gush about sustainable brands, SO!), with our backyard picnic and guide to sustainable home decor boutiques. But I promise these gorgeous photos Charity styled and shot during our collaboration with Zuahaza will have you inspired to take on a creative home project or two, ethically made home decor included, of ...

Making The Most Of Summer During Covid-19
If there are two things that can (at least temporarily) pull me out of the funk that 2020 has trapped me in, it’s gotta be A) getting creative with someone (yes someone, social distance style) and B) spending time outside. Our talented photographer Charity and I had canceled our spring shoot due to the pandemic. Halfway through summer and sufficiently bummed, we knew that even if just the two of us got together outside we’d feel a whole lot better! Today I’ll walk you through what we did so ... Read More
