How To Install DIY Floating Shelves

Like cute photos of your dog, kitchen storage is pretty much one of those things you can never have enough of in my book. Kate here, and today I’m super excited to share these DIY floating shelves we just installed!

Floating kitchen shelves are a design element that have been on my pinterest boards ever since I can remember, and this new house had the perfect spot for a pair of them.

DIY Built-In Bookcase IKEA Hack

Everyone loves a good IKEA hack, and I’ve truly been so excited to share this DIY IKEA Billy bookcase hack since the day I started the project. Kate here, and today I’m finally sharing the full step-by-step process I followed to create my studio office built-in bookshelves!

When we moved in, this room off the garage was pretty much a plain box and a blank canvas. This separate space was a huge selling point for us in this house, because my ultimate goal has always been to have a standalone music studio and office. I knew there was a ton of potential here, and after pinning a ton of photos of built-in bookshelves I knew that would be the perfect focal point for my office.

After getting a ton of responses to our original blog post on this topic, we decided to jump into the deep end for this first episode with a heavy on the tea-spilling conversation all about getting revenge, why it’s our first knee-jerk instinct to want it, and why trying to become successful in order to ‘get revenge’ is ultimately a toxic way to approach your life.

Summer is here and the sundresses and sangria are flowin’! Whether you’re looking for a pre-dinner drink or a luscious libation for a summer bash, we’ve got the perfect recipe.

Packed with fresh fruit and topped with a splash of club soda, this white wine sangria recipe offers the perfect reprieve for a hot day.

Blueberry Rosemary Spritz Cocktail

Since quarantine started back in 2020, I’d be lying if I said that our liquor cabinet hasn’t grown quite a bit.

Hey guys, Courtney here. This past weekend, the weather in NYC exceeded 90 degrees, which meant that fruity spritzers replaced heavy IPAs and sundresses replaced sweatpants.

Made with fresh blueberries, rosemary, vodka, lemon, simple syrup, and club soda, this cocktail is refreshing and delicious sans the insane amount of sugar that my usual go-tos come with (although I am always down for a pina colada).
