10 Online Sources You Might Not Know For Collecting Super Cool Art (Whether You Have $40 or $4,000) + A Quick Ask the Audience
Six years ago, I knew I wanted to create a baseboard-to-ceiling gallery wall in my dining room. The wall was already a deep, rich jewel tone, so the art I selected was fairly neutral. Now, over half a decade later, most of that same art lives in a very different room in another home on…

10 “Emily Henderson-Approved” Spring Blouses
I have a big shoot coming up in LA in a couple of weeks and I was tasked to find a wardrobe for a “fun, summer BBQ” which is obviously right up my alley (shooting in Orange County). I need 3-5 looks so I tried on a lot of tops (and a couple of dresses),…

How We Really Kept The Charm & Character Of The Farmhouse (HINT: It’s Salvaged Pieces)
If you are into drinking games, I dare you to try to count how many times I say “character” or “charm” in this post – maybe just water in those shot glasses?? Someone recently asked what pieces are original to house and while there isn’t a ton, it was actually far more than I originally…

Really Good Spring Break/Vacation Dresses
It’s 60 degrees and sunny in Portland (February 28th) so people are in shorts and drinking margaritas (I’m cutting out early at 3 pm to go on a long family bike ride along the river). And while we have a couple more months of potential rain up here, I know a lot of people go…
