How I Styled Our Built-Ins

February 22, 2021February 22, 2021By JoannaPosted in home decor + interiors, Our Cabin, styling

To me, there is nothing more fun than styling open shelving and built-ins. There is definitely an art form to it, which I talked about a lot in this post from the archives. But now in the cabin, we have a totally different styling to tackle: the built-in shelving in our living room! It’s like a #shelfie but a bigger scale. As soon as we painted it green, I knew it would be the ultimate canvas for me to play with. So today I wanted to have you a cubby-by-cubby tour of it and why I chose the objects that are on display.

It feels like I blinked and suddenly it’s March and springtime… which means my birthday is next week! To celebrate, I thought it would be fun to style a spring tablescape that could work for so many different spring events (like Easter or Mother’s Day). The inspiration was all of the tiny, happy flowers that are popping up more and more these days. Isn’t spring just the best??

If I had a dollar every time I was asked for tips on how to style a shelfie, I’d have a much bigger house! All jokes aside, I absolutely love styling bookshelves. In fact, I am almost constantly rearranging all the books, decor pieces, ceramics, and vintage finds. It’s time for me to finally share all the shelfie styling tips and hacks that have worked for me over the years! I filmed a quick video so you can see me in action. But in case you’re not able to view it, I’ve listed my notes below, too. I hope you enjoy these tips & leave a comment if you have additional ones!

How to Style a Kitchen

July 23, 2019August 28, 2020By JoannaPosted in kitchen, my tiny bungalow, styling

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.

June 25, 2019August 28, 2020By JoannaPosted in styling, travel

This year was my second in a row of traveling to Italy, but my first time teaching a styling workshop there!

After being back for just over 2 weeks, I have mentally processed everything from the trip and wanted to offer you a glimpse into it! At the very least, this post will probably inspire a bit of Italian wanderlust, too.

monthly moments | photoshoot sneak peek, Alt Summit, & more

March 7, 2018March 6, 2018By JoannaPosted in styling, travel, video

How on earth is it already the first full week of March? Woof. I feel like I’m a bit behind! Between styling loooots of photoshoots, attending and teaching at my first Alt Summit, and living life, it was awesome to look back on the month of February through video. For such a short month, I really did a lot — and even had some ridiculous adventures thrown in (just wait til you see Nancy Kerrigan The Chicken’s cameo). I love giving you a glimpse into my life and wanted this video to feel like an even closer look than you may find on Instagram Stories. Welcome to a new monthly series called Monthly Moments!
