Decisions, decisions… 

We couldn’t decide on a backsplash for the Hill House hall bathroom, so I mocked up a few options:

1 No backsplash 
2 Simple marble 
3 Shaped marble
3b Shaped marble - long
4 Delft tiles 

Which would you pick?
Our little upstairs snug is starting to feel like a real room! Hard to believe this space was once part of a bedroom. Soft, simple, cozy, and tucked right under the eaves, I already know it’ll be one of the most used spots in the Hill House 😊
Spring at the Poplar Cottage! ☀️🌷🌱

I planted 150 bulbs last Fall (tulips, daffodils, and alliums) and they’ve been an utter delight this Spring! My favorite are the white ‘Popcorn tulips’ 🤍

Can’t wait to watch this garden
