I think people take Instagram too seriously sometimes, I definitely try to maintain a sense of privacy for me and my family. I don’t like to overshare unnecessary information. I also try to not even look at Instagram until after 10 am, that is a rule for me. I never want it to be the first thing I look at in the morning. When it comes to comparison, I usually don’t think about that stuff. Instagram is great because of all the people I have met. It has actually been an amazing way for me to make friends and connect with like-minded people. I’ve met some of my closest friends on Instagram and I’m really thankful for that community.

What are some of your hobbies outside of being a mom and decorating?
I like going for bike rides on the trails, traveling, and going to breweries. I also like going to the Minneapolis Farmer’s Market.

Because I’ve noticed a lot of your house is DIY, do you have any fun renovation projects coming up? 
I try to be handy, I mostly look to YouTube and Pinterest for tutorials and then my husband and I tackle the projects ourselves. I would like our next project to be a kitchen renovation. I would love to do new cabinet faces and new tile. We built our wooden fence outside last year around the back yard and I hope the kitchen will be next!

Where do you find all your amazing furniture? 
Article, West Elm, Target, IKEA, the Goodwill and Arc Value Village actually! I also look to Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace.

How would you describe your design style?
Mid-century, minimal, but still lived in and cozy. I like earthy tones, woods and whites, especially. Some people have called my style “Prairie,” but I’m not sure if I like that. We’ve lived in this home for two years and our design process has been slowly evolving over time, I find it so much easier to do things slowly than all at once.

All the frames in the home are by Framebridge.
