good looking medicine cabinets
i’m very torn on medicine cabinets because i really do love a beautiful statement mirror, but i have too much stuff to forgo any storage space. now that we’ve lived with medicine cabinets for a few years i don’t think we could ever give it up. the height for storage is so optimal and convenient and i can’t imagine putting everything in drawers or cabinets below now! so while aesthetically, i definitely prefer a beautiful mirror, convenience wise a medicine cabinet is just crucial!! YOU SHOULD SEE ALLLLLL THE CRAP WE KEEP IN OURS!
first — let’s look at some very convincing arguments for medicine cabinets.
this one is soooo good — australia has all the best stuff!!
oooomg i love that this insanely stunning bathroom is using standard inset medicine cabinets and they look so GOOD.
australia, once again, has all the prettiest home stuff ever!
another very simple standard medicine cabinet, but looks so elevated along with a beautifully designed bathroom.
i’m also sad to report that our medicine cabinets have been discontinued, there was a safety recall and they came and added a piece to our mirrors so they wouldn’t fall off and shatter — and at the same time it seems like they just stopped making them altogether. i wish they would just sell them with this new little mirror piece instead because they’re definitely my favorites and i would even buy them again for our next house, but since that’s not an option — i rounded up some alternatives that i think look pretty great.
01. similar to ours but simple and white $296
02. a pretty sliding one — can’t speak to the quality but it looks good! $319
03. this one also slides out which is kinda nice unless it doesn’t work well haha $149
04. weird there aren’t more wood options, this one is very pretty $400
05. a beautiful arched mirror AND medicine cabinet!! love this one $320
06. this one looks identical to ours, but they have glass shelves instead of wood $699
07. lots of storage in this one $435
08. such a good one– i love that it’s circular and wood framed! $442
09. i like that this one feels actually designed $349
10. pretty brass mirror with lots of shelving $329
11. i’m a big fan of this double one! $549
12. i love that this one just looks like a big circular mirror!! $373
13. i love the extra shelves on this one $238
14. a really pretty steel mirror $320 -
how we got arlo to wear his glasses
i’ve shared a lot on instagram that arlo is not great with big transitions, but it’s been surprisingly painless to get him to wear his glasses since the doctor recommended he wear them all day everyday. the biggest reason is probably that he sees so much better with them on, so of course he would like that, but it really only took a couple days for the habit to kick in and now he asks for them if they’re not on!
i got asked a lot about how we knew needed them, etc. so i thought this post would help anyone going through the same thing and to encourage anyone who thinks their kid might have vision issues to get them checked out. it can’t hurt!!

how to organize your fridge
i deep cleaned and organized my fridge for the first time in years on instagram so i wanted to share here too! our fridge was (is) JAM PACKED always, so it’s really hard to keep it orderly. i decided to get a bunch of bins so that everything could have its place and it would just feel a lot more tidy, even when it’s really full.Read More

so excited for a new feature i’ll be sharing on here from time to time, home tours! i love admiring (and snooping) other peoples houses so much, and wanted to start sharing ones that i love with you. i hope they inspire you too.

neutral frame tv digital art
i did a post on my thoughts and FAQ about the samsung frame tv, so i also wanted to round up some really beautiful inexpensive art options. the best part about the TV is how easily you can swap out the art so you can essentially “redecorate” it as often as you want to.
both of our frame TVs have the beige bezel. it’s an additional $100-200 but it goes with our decor way better. we got both ours on amazon, but they also go on sale pretty frequently on ebay. we have a 50″ in our bedroom and a 65″ in our living room.
there is an art subscription service in the samsung store, where you’re able to download art and they have tons of options, but it’s either $6/month or $25 per art piece, i’ve found way less expensive options just scouring etsy. spending $5 on a piece of art feels much lower commitment if you do end up wanting to swap them out regularly.
i found lots of beautiful digital art, everything is $20 or less and fits in with neutral and modern and boho decor. Read More

the samsung frame TV — my review and some FAQ
i get asked all the time either about if i think our frame tv is worth it, OR “what is that tv that looks like art?!” i’ve had a samsung frame tv now for years and i can safely say i think it’s worth the extra money. i’ll explain why in this post!
to start, i wanted to show you a before and after with what a regular tv looked like in our bedroom versus now. obviously the biggest difference is that a regular tv is just a big black rectangle on your wall, so just visually it’s a very different look!! so basically, if you are a visual person who obsesses about things looking good (like me), this tv is life changing (lol yes thats a dramatic way to put it but i stand by it).
