I moved to Detroit when my husband and I were starting to get serious. He used to live right next to Comerica Park—back in the day, I could just say “the building with the whales on it,” but sadly, that mural has since been covered up. A few years before we we got married, he bought our first home in the Woodbridge neighborhood, and now we’re living in a beautiful 1890s Victorian in Midtown. One of the best parts about living in the city is being so close to so many amazing restaurants! Here are some of our favorite brunch spots in Detroit. Since we have an almost 4-year-old, we tend to stick to places that are family-friendly and easy to enjoy with a little one in tow.

Sometimes it’s worth spending 30 minutes a week on something that makes the rest of the week so much easier.

We’re currently transforming our dining room, foyer, and living room, and I fell in love with this styled look from Pottery Barn featuring tall candles, elegant candlesticks, and luxurious bows. The height variations, textures, and layered colors are absolutely stunning! But when I discovered this was just a styled photo for the candles, I decided to create my own version that perfectly complements my home. By using velvet ribbons in different widths and shades of blue to match our dining room, along with elegant candlesticks and taper candles, I brought this vision to life. I love how it turned out, and I was able to craft the entire setup for a fraction of what you’d spend at Pottery Barn for just a few candles! This project is all about personalization and making something beautiful and unique for your space. This project shows how you can easily craft a stunning, personalized decor piece that fits your home’s style, making it truly one of a kind. Ready to make your own?
