I’m Karen, and I love making everyday life a little more fun by elevating the ordinary.

I love a beautiful table, a good recipe, a warm and inviting home, a lush garden, and gathering together the people I love.

Here you’ll find printable collections, recipes, seasonal ideas, entertaining inspiration, thoughtful gifts, and simple ways to organize the everyday rhythms of home.

Pearls & Paper Plates is a little pretty, a little practical, and a lot of real life—lived well.
