    McGee & Co. Winter Collection | Shoot Tour

    We stayed close to home, near our headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, for McGee & Co.’s 2023 Winter Collection shoot. Each year we hunt for the perfect space to showcase our seasonal release, searching for a house that tells the story of the collection and allows each piece to shine. The classic detailing of this home’s checkerboard tiles, intricately paneled walls, and exposed floor joist ceilings offered the perfect pairing for the collection’s rich color palette of ochre, crimson, and brown, classic silhouettes, and layered texture and warmth. We love the feelings of nostalgia and sense of contentment found…

Zoom in and you’ll see over 20,000 stainless steel screws and not a single traditional shingle. Each piece of wood on the outside is actually leftover German oak from Dinesen‘s flooring factory; on the inside, it’s all imperfect Douglas fir planks. Yes, the entire house was built with scraps. This impressive architectural feat is the work of Stockholm-based studio Kolman Boye Architects. Founders Erik Kolman Janouch and Victor…

    Welcome to the Tiny Cottage (the Empty Home Tour!)

    This Post May Contain Affiliate Links. Please Read Our Disclosure Policy here It is finished (well, the main construction is finished, but more will still be worked on outside). My parents are now living in the Tiny Cottage (SO EXCITING!), but before they got in and settled I snapped a few quick pics so you could see how adorable it is even empty! Not to worry, though, if you love this tiny cottage as much as I do, my mom will let me share it again and again, so this won’t be the last you’ll see of it. 🙂 If…
