Lately on Instagram: We had a garage sale last Saturday and because we priced everything to sell, we sold ALOT! It also helped to have two cute kids selling donuts, coffee and golf balls.
My kids favorite place to visit is the Kren Farm, which is owned by some of our besties. They have chickens, pheasants, ducks, horses and lots of fun farm activities. Sorry kids, you can’t move there.
I’m in Rancho Cucamonga right now working on a super fun house project. When I arrived at the Ontario Airport, I was pleasantly surprised by all of the white design going on.
ALSO on IG this week, I shared an image of my living room.
Which, I’ve been meaning to share with you two of my most favorite pieces in my house right now. One being that fabulous Luna Sofa by Edgar Blazona. Everything about this sofa is perfection. Even that daring ivory upholstery. Don’t worry, it’s been scotch guarded many many times. My other favorite item is the Vintage Vibe rug by FLOR. The pattern isn’t too intrusive and gives off a cool organic feel. I’ll be posting more in these items later!

Recently Jocey from Wedding Chicks hired me to re-style her bedroom. We chose to complete this project through e-decorating. She is a blast of a person, so working with her on this project was super fun. She’s not afraid of color or patterns so we incorporated alot of both. Now for this e-design project, we worked mostly online with the exception of a couple visits to her home (we live in the same city). Most of the collaborating happened through our Pinterest board that we created and through emails sent back and forth. The beauty of e-decorating (online decorating) is that it’s affordable, hassle free and it’s an accessible way to hire a designer without signing your life away. Which is why I’m thrilled to offer it to all of you!
Head over to Wedding Chicks (here) and read how the process was for Jocey.
Also, a big thanks to Serena and Lily for helping make this room look fabulous!
Shopping list: Lamp, Rug, Hanging Glass Terrarium, Sheet Set, Fog Spade Pillow, Knit Pillow.

Several of you have inquired about my desk in my office space. Well pleasantly enough, my husband built it. It’s hands down my favorite piece in this space. And I think it goes so well with my other pieces, including the bookcase and filing cabinet from Hayneedle, which you can read more about here.
If you are wanting a custom piece similar to this desk or if you have any other wood furniture needs, my father in law is a incredible woodworker (which is where my husband gets it) and can create almost anything. So local peeps, take advantage of this. And non-local peeps, he ships! Email me at simplygrove22@gmail.com if interested.

This chandelier gives off a very elegant yet modern look in this dining space.
I’m loving this copper artichoke light. The ceiling and light are a fun combo.
This light is perfectly organic and stylish.

On Monday, I discussed Mint Green over on BHG’s Style Spotters. It’s a trend right now that I am LOVING! It’s so clean and pretty. And you don’t need alot of it to make a nice impact. Be inspired by Mint Green today!

I wanted to show you another image from a project that I did in Seattle. I took this pic on my phone so it’s not the greatest. My clients wanted a modern living space that was comfortable and durable for their kids. We chose neutral colors with pops of bright colors throughout. The Souk rug from West Elm makes every space feel comfortable. And the Fargo sofa from Bo Concept is always an instant success! Their view is unbelievable, so designing their condo was that much more fun!

I’m loving this bohemian/masculine space that involves lots of great patterns and materials. The rug and afghan adds color while the sofa acts as an anchor for the whole space. Below are ideas to achieve the same look:

Lately on Instagram: The kids and I visited my good friend Elise earlier this week. Ethan wanted to kidnap her dog, Nacho. He even snuck him in the car. I would have taken the sofa!:)
These last few weeks, Boise has been celebrating the Parade Of Homes. You’re not supposed to take pictures but I still snuck some in. This kitchen was by far my favorite on the tour.
This living room is from the same home as above. I LOVED that sofa.
Jocey from Wedding Chicks has the best Woolly Pocket filling up her wall. BTW, her bedroom is done and it looks great!
And then there’s Eden…
Make sure to come back on Monday for an awesome GIVEAWAY! It has nothing to do with decor and everything to do with MUSIC. Hmmmmmm.
See you soon! xxoo

I’m LOVING this color palette.
There have been some fantastics DIY’s floating around the web lately. When I first saw this chandelier DIY on Little Green Notebook, I quickly thought of a few clients that would totally embrace this! It’s perfectly modern and can be placed as a transitional piece in most spaces. It actually comes from the folks at One Kings Lane. Great job!
Design Milk teamed up with Sherwin Williams to create this beauty. It’s inspired by a weaving art piece. The color palette is just perfect! See the entire DIY here.
We can’t own enough fantastic planters! When I saw this DIY on West Elm’s Front & Main blog, I knew right away that I would love to tackle this project. It looks like a fun summer project and I think my plants will thank me! Read more here.
I’m sure by now you’ve heard of the awesome collaborations that jcpenney’s recently endeavored in. I have to say that my favorite collection is from Design by Conran. I would use every single product in my home! Above are a few of my favorite pieces.

I’m a fan of Gubi. Gubi‘s collection includes an amazing mix of classic and contemporary designs. Their catalog includes re-launches of designs from the 1930s to the 1970s, as well as collaborations with emerging designers. Everything is just too cool for school.

Several of you have inquired about the rugs in my bedroom seen in the latest Rue issue. Both the rug on the floor and the rug hanging on the wall are from Novica. Novica gives artists and artisans around the world a global platform to express their true artistic talents and to spur their creativity. They want to provide you with access to unique, hard-to-find items at great values. These rugs were a steal! A steal, friends!
How cute is my husband?? I heart him.
Go here to see their entire rug collection. Also, they have a great selection of cooking gifts that I am digging for my own kitchen.
I’ve joined forces with Hayneedle again and this time we’ve tackled my kid’s shared bedroom. See more here.
