    Hey Taryn! I have been following your tutorial for adding the catablog gallery to my page – super helpful! Thanks so much! I did want to let you know that your gallery page isn’t working and is giving the message “Could not find a CataBlog Gallery with id ”4365? I was having this problem when adding the gallery feature to the end of the code to create a gallery when I followed what you said to put –> [catablog_gallery id=”XXXX” [catablog template = “gallery”] I played around with it a bit and found if I took out the [ after the number it worked. So the new code would be—> [catablog_gallery id=”XXXX” catablog template = “gallery”] Hope this helps and thanks for the awesome tutorial!

      Hi Shelly, I followed your new shortcode, I see the pictures showing, but they are not showing in grid/gallery style. Any tips?

      Thanks!

    Thanks Taryn for the detailed instructions! I was following your instructions to add a gallery on my site as well, but I ran into some problem that the thumbnails are in different sizes. Do you have any idea?

    Thanks!

My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, i My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, inviting and extra cozy. It’s often the final finishing touches that truly transform the vibe of a room. I picked up some final styling pieces from @wayfair , I am obsessed with both side tables. They are both statement pieces. And the personal photos, candle, heart trays and leather pillows are why bring the warmth and personal touches into this space.

I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendl I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendly sofa that passes the designer test! This is the 5-Seat Modular Corner Sectional from @7thavenueco in the color Oatmeal Beige. We ordered it in the extra-deep seat option for ultimate coziness. The material is water-repellent, stain-resistant and you can also throw all covers in the wash!

We cannot say enough great things about this sofa, we all love it and just sink into it. It definitely passes the family test. Plus, it truly is gorgeous. It looks very chic. 

Comment SOFA and I’ll send you the link to this exact one!

Replaced railings with custom ones
New carpet runners
Installed Gold Stair Rods 
Swapped out the chandelier for a statement piece 
Had the walls skim coated to level 5 finish and painted!
