Get the Look: Our Vintage Turkish Rug

July 24, 2019July 24, 2019By JoannaPosted in home decor + interiors, my tiny bungalow

The day I discovered the Turkish rug in our bedroom, I knew it was The One. After designing the space to be predominantly white and blue, I knew I needed a pop. That pop had to be coral! The issue was in finding the right size, the right shade of coral, and the right pattern in rug. I ended up driving down to Portland and finding this gem at Wild Shaman that is actually my favorite rug in the entire tiny bungalow. I’m asked about it constantly, especially on Instagram. So I finally dug deep and found TONS of sources for similar vintage rugs in a coral color palette. If you’re in the market for a new rug or just want to mimic ours, this post is for you!

How to Style a Kitchen

July 23, 2019July 22, 2019By JoannaPosted in styling, my tiny bungalow, kitchen

While we were working on our new kitchen, all I wanted to do was finish it. First, so I could resume cooking… but mostly so I could style it! The prop stylist in me was chomping at the bit to display some of my favorite ceramics, textiles, and art pieces in our newly finished kitchen. I’ve shared so many photos of it on Instagram and I always get questions about where things are from. So I figured it was time to share a post all about how to style a kitchen with a full source list of my favorite kitchen accessories + similar items.

Thanks to my friends at Delta, our kitchen faucet features some amazing innovations that you’ve just gotta know about.

All About Our New Milgard Window (and a giveaway!)

Many thanks to our sponsor Milgard Windows & Doors in this kitchen renovation. All opinions are my own and always will be! Thanks for supporting the content that keeps Jojotastic going.

Remember wayyy back, about 10 months ago, when I shared before photos of our kitchen and said the only thing that’s staying is our garden window? Welp, I changed my mind!! After seeing all of the new, materials going into the space, I knew a replacement was needed. It just looked so dated and sad. Thankfully, Milgard Windows & Doors reached out to partner… almost as though they were reading my mind. In one weekend, we swapped out the old one and installed a modern casement window with clean lines. I’m so happy we did!

How I Plan My PNW Vegetable Garden

April 15, 2019April 11, 2019By JoannaPosted in my tiny bungalow, gardening

I have wanted to share this post every spring since I started our vegetable garden. But every year I hold back because I know the photos aren’t the prettiest. I finally got over that fear and decided it was time. Gardening is like a meditation for me and such a big part of what I enjoy doing on the weekends. I just had to share with you. Plus, I get asked a lot about our garden when I share it on Instagram Stories, so it was definitely time to share how I plan my PNW vegetable garden, what I planted, and resources for Pacific Northwest gardeners.
