You guys, a bedroom has never been my biggest priority in settling into an apartment. It never feels as important as the living areas, especially since it's usually covered in clothes and really just a place for sleep. But I'd been craving a change to this mindset for a while. And so for the first time in a long time (probably since living in our childhood homes), our bedroom feels truly purposeful and thought-out. It's a curated mix of bright, eclectic, lived-in, and cozy. I'm loving how this long work in progress has turned out, and the fact that very few things were actually new purchases...

In an otherwise gorgeous summer, at least here in Upstate New York, we managed to pick quite the unwelcoming weekend in Montreal to learn our way around the city...

There's a winning combination of spicy sweetness that i've experienced a few times recently with pizza. Each time some iteration of cheese, meat, honey, and heat made the experience difficult to quite nail down and yet good enough to want to never stop eating. I thought I'd try something similar with a slightly different cast of characters, substituting in roasted olives as a briny, bitter agent that pairs so well with ricotta cheese, spicy chili oil, honey, and lemon. These little toasts have such a cool balance of flavors going on—I can't get enough...

I’m such a sucker for gift wrap. I always have been. Even really young, staring at the gifts under the Christmas tree, it’s fair to say I was almost equally smitten with Santa’s gift wrap and ribbon choices as I was the clothes, stickers, and crafts he had hidden within...
