Our island isn’t just for eating - it’s the hub of our home.

It’s where homework gets done, work emails get answered, quick breakfasts happen, family game nights begin, and friends gather.

When it came time to replace our counter stools, we wanted more than something that looked good. We wanted chairs that were actually comfortable enough to sit in for hours.

These stools were it—comfortable backs, soft swivel seats, a timeless style, and just the perfect pop of color. Great for working, eating & entertaining!

One day when doing laundry I just decided to go for it! Is it perfect? No! Does it make me happy when I do laundry? A resounding yes!
Things I could have done differently:
1. Ordered new wallpaper. I used what I had left from another project. This is Lillian by @paintedpaper Love it in here!
2. Measured height BEFORE I cut- luckily I was spot on! Those estimation skills coming in handy in my 50’s!
3. Had my husband move the washer dryer unit so I wasn’t working in such a tight space! I wanted to see how long it would took him to notice I did it! So I made it work, barely!
4. Had someone spot me! No one was home. Love that our washer and dryer is on second floor between all our bedrooms BUT we have two sets of stairs on either side of that landing and my ladder was moving with my effort!
5. Waited for a cooler day & worn a hat! I was a sweaty mess!
6. Regrets? None! I was really proud of myself. I kept thinking wow I really don’t give up! It was one of the hardest projects I have done all by myself. Would I do it again? Yes, but only if I had the washer and dryer moved out of the way! I love this LG set but there is not a lot of wiggle room in here!

We didn’t know we could relax more at the lake until we got these chaise lounges! There is something about putting your feet up that forces you to slow down, read a book, watch the birds, take it all in. There is no reason to jump up and do the next thing on your to do list! This is the priority~ relaxing, pausing, slowing down! Taking time to relax is not something you earn when the to do list is done- it is an essential part of life! How are you relaxing this summer?

Not everything that calls to me when shopping gets put in my cart. But this did! If I can think of multiple ways to style something I love then you better believe it is coming home with me! This “wine coaster” is just darling and is so easy to style around my home! Which use is your favorite?

What do you collect when you travel? My 3 daughters collect post cards & magnets from everywhere they go. When @heartprinted reached out to collaborate I knew just who would love some of their custom magnets!

Need your own? https://heartprinted.com/?ref=kmdesignanddecor23 use code Kari10

My youngest daughter just got back from a semester abroad in Europe and took photographs of all her adventures & places she traveled. These magnets are so much more than the pretty pictures she took! They are the memories & experiences she collected along her way. Love that @heartprinted is a mom run business & that you get a little thank you note from her daughter along with these quality magnets. Who would you gift them to? What pictures would you include? The possibilities are endless!

How are we doing mommas? This is your reminder that it is okay to take time to fill your cup (or your bath) midsummer and take some time for yourself!

I remember having midsummer burnout when my kids were little! Spending every moment trying to give my girls the summer of their dreams but forgetting to schedule in some me time so I could deal with the inevitable summer meltdowns that happened when temperatures got hot! Ice, warm or hot- find a way to fill your cup this summer! It’s good for everyone! How do you fill your cup? Is it a solo walk, an iced coffee & @homegoods run, a night out with the girls, a date night to have some time with your partner, or just a bath while someone else cooks dinner or puts the kids to bed? Remember to take some time for yourself! @Wayfair @amazonfindsandfashion

Love to shop my home & my yard to give a corner of my home a mid-summer refresh. It doesn’t take a lot to change the mood of of a space! The simplest way to do it is

1. Change pillow colors to reflect the season. Pillow covers barely take up any space and have such a big impact on the mood and feel of a room. All of these pillows from @fabdivinehome are gorgeous! Love the hand blocked patterns, designs and colors. So many gorgeous ones to choose from!

2. Switch out your bowl filler. I love to use natural items you would find outside in each season. These are shells, stones & coral I have collected over the years on trips to the beach.

3. Change out florals. Real or faux florals that reflect the seasons make such a big impact in a room!

Bing, bang, boom! A kitchen isn’t complete until it is organized! So much that goes into a functioning workable kitchen is the organization inside the cabinets. All that empty space but no organization system makes it hard to find what you need! I’ve always had storage bins in my pantry to organize similar items together. I wanted them to match and wanted more of them. Love these that I ordered from Amazon- come flat-packed but super simple to put together. Instant organization for my baking supplies, snacks & pantry essentials. Love that they add some warmth to my white kitchen too! Where would you use these baskets?!

It’s official! After a month with our Mellow pillows and blanket we are sleeping better, longer and more comfortably than we have in years!

We also wake up with Brandy in our bed every day! Apparently sleeping between mom & dad is THE spot! She loves our new Mellow cooling comforter too and how we sleep through the night and don’t notice she snuck in!

You’ll notice the difference night one but after a month we feel rejuvenated! The pillows have removable cooling covers, cloud like support for back and side sleepers, were designed with chiropractors and sleep doctors & come in two sizes: regular for people under 5’7” like me and high for people taller like my husband. The blanket? We are obsessed! Soft on one side & silky on the other both cooling & perfect for these summer heatwaves we’ve been having!

Loved helping our client fall in love with her new beach house bedroom! We had fun shopping for a new rug, bedding, bedside table, lamp, art, decor and plants to pull this space together. The hat wall is made of all the hats she buys every time she goes on a beach vacation and forgets to pack one 😂! Now that she is living at the beach she can just grab one off her wall! We hung the art opposite from her bed so she wakes up to that view before grabbing coffee & enjoying her oceanside views! Happy Summer!

Cleaning the kitchen together, filling vases with whatever is currently blooming in our yard, watering plants, seasoning the cast iron pan my husband cooks everything in, getting coffee ready for tomorrow, decaf cortados and a little cribbage before retiring to the couch for the series we are currently watching. Any good ones we should add to our list? What does your nighttime routine look like?

Couldn’t resist adding a little color to the guest room! Was planning to use this set as an end of bed blanket but could’t resist trying it on the whole bed! The details in their bedding sets is unmatched- ruffles, texture- give me all of it!! So good! And for a purple girl this color is so pretty!

One of my best friends is a gifted and intuitive medium, energy healer, and educator. When I received this Hisummer Candle Warmer Lamp I knew just where it belonged. I helped her create her healing room in her home. She uses crystals, light, sounds & smells to surround her clients & friends with love & light in their healing journies. This candle warmer from @hisummerlighting is the perfect addition to this healing space. Would be a great addition to a yoga room, meditation space or any place in your home that would benefit from the beautiful crystal glow and slow melting scent of a your favorite candle!

Throwback: the DIY patio we built in 3 parts all while our girls were little! Part of our series of things we do ourselves that other’s would hire out. Is a work ethic inherited or learned? We have always said that our family has a strong work ethic. We are not afraid to work hard to accomplish what we want in life. Our girls age at the time didn’t prevent us from creating the patio of our dreams it gave us a family project that we could accomplish together. Now that these little girls are 25, 23 & 21 they are continuing to work hard to create the lives of their dreams. So many memories made on this patio that we built together! #diy #patiobuild #getoutside #patiolife #newenglandliving

Love these wireless wall sconces we got for our lake cottage! So simple to put together, easy to hang with a self adhesive backing and no electrician or wiring necessary! Love the remote to easily turn on and off and to switch the colors! Perfect cozy cottage feel for this corner of our lake house. We considered using them in a window-seat and over our bed ~ so many great uses for these lights! My husband and I enjoyed reading some old entries from our lake house guest books. Fun memories & stories shared in them!
