KEEP UP TO DATE @THEGRITANDPOLISH

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
