This tablescape was incredibly fun to put together. I joined with a few other Instagram accounts and we each featured our winter tablescapes. I love it so much I just had to share it here. I wanted something cozy, muted, and elegant. I love how it all came together!

Our Kitchen
Sharing our kitchen progress here on the blog today. It is almost done and has been soooo verrrrry sloooow in its progress. The cabinets were a nightmare to complete, so much drama, stress, and worry, but they are almost complete. We ended up having to work with three different companies to complete them. Not fun but we ended up figuring it out and now that it is almost done, I have to say that I'm LOVING it!! Its so white and bright! I love the cabinet style and the hardware. I want to share a more detailed blog post with all the information when it is completed but I'll share a bit of information here in bullet points.

Master Bathroom Update
We started demoing our master bathroom in December and we are still working on completely this space. It is so close to being completed! I thought I would share our progress here today. I had to clear away remodeling chaos to take the photos below, so know that there are a lot of boxes, tools, garbage, and all the other stuff that goes along with a remodel tucked away while I took these photos. The tile was the first thing we tackled in this space. My style right is modern farmhouse and I love pairing new and old, modern and vintage, clean lines and distressed pieces. I decided to go with all white tile. I chose subway tile for the walls, small hex tiles for the floor, and penny tile for the backsplash. Finishing the tile was a bit of a fiasco but our tile guy finally completed it. The countertops are my favorite. We found a company that specializes in ordering finished pieces of quarts countertop and then cutting them down to the size needed. We chose to go with the … [Read more...]
Halloween Decor
I had so much fun decorating for Halloween this year. I tried to make it a bit scary for the kids, they didn't think it was the kind of scary they were looking for, but I loved how it all turned out. So fun to decorate for the holidays. Definitely one of my passions. … [Read more...]
Our Dining Room
The dining room was so fun to put back together and it is so lovely to again have a place to gather together to share our meals. During the remodel we spruced up the space with new hardwood floors, shiplap on the walls, and added my absolute favorited wood beaded chandelier from Potter Barn. I have been wanting this chandelier for years since we lived in our Fern Street home, and I'm so excited to have two of them in this home, one in the dining room and one in the entry way. They do not disappoint and add such style, warmth, and whimsy to the space. The dining room side table hutch I purchased this last November during World Market's furniture sale. I put it together and took a few days to decorate it. I'm using it as a hutch of sorts (though I know it is not a hutch) and hoping to make it pretty and functional. I decorated the side table the way I decorate most things in my home. I gathered all the pretty things that I might want to add to the hutch. I knew I wanted to keep … [Read more...]
A Coppery Fall Thrifting Haul
I have been wanting to go thrifting for quite awhile now. I was trying to find time to go this summer, but there was always too many things to do. Well, we are still very busy and this week was extra crazy busy (yes, extra crazy busy is a thing) but I was running a bunch of errands and just decided to run into our local Goodwill and found all this goodness. I was hurrying through the store watching the time, knowing I only had about 10 minutes, and I was so impressed with what I picked up. So, lets chat about a few of these things. This driftwood star I think was handmade. It looks like it was a fun craft project. It is big and wooden and will add so much texture and warmth to our home. I went in looking for copper and found all this copper goodness. These mugs are from Target, regularly ten dollars a piece, I picked them up for four dollars. A bit spendy for me to spend on a mug, but they are large, great quality, and were exactly what I was looking for, and I can use them on … [Read more...]
Early Fall Decor
So I just wanted to share a few pictures of our early fall decor. I knew I didn't have time to pull out all the fall decor, plus it is in a closet that is housing all our other decor that we have stored during the remodel, so I basically just grabbed a bunch of my pumpkins and placed them around our home. I have a few more projects coming your way later this season, but I'm loving these little touches of fall early in the season. Hoping to share with you soon a fun Target mini pumpkin inspired vignette, a fall tables cape, and a spooky halloween mantle coming later in October. Also some favorite fall bookish roundups, some seasonal essential oils blends, and maybe a craft or two. Lesson learned. It is worth it to just add a few things to your decor, even if you don't have time to do everything you want to do. … [Read more...]
Our Living Room
We finally put together our living room. We returned from vacation in August and our walls and trim were all painted, floors were installed, and we were ready to move back in. Styling those white shelves was the most decorating fun I have had in a long time. These last three plus years we have been renting or living in a fixer that was waiting to be fixed. I have felt like I have been on hold with all my decorating creativity. Even when I did a little something here or there, I knew I would eventually have to undo it, and the backdrop of stained walls and floors was not a bit inspirational. I've envisioned this space for the last few years and I wanted lots of white, lots of texture, and all the coziness. I brought our white couch down from upstairs, our small table and two faux cow hide chairs for a place to play chess, and a distressed cabinet for extra storage. I ordered the rug from USA Rugs and it is soft and cozy. I added some Hobby Lobby pillows to the couch that I … [Read more...]
Black Walls
When we painted our upstairs a few months ago I was wanting everything white, just like I was planning for our main floor. When I looked more closely at our bonus room and saw the wood ceilings (that I love), the wood built ins in one corner, and the bar area built ins in the other, I thought the with all those cherry built ins I wouldn't get the solid white look I was going for and perhaps I should paint the built ins white as well. When we priced out painting all the walls, trim, and built ins it was more than I wanted to spend. I mulled over the idea for awhile. Finally the idea came to me to paint the walls black. I wouldn't have to paint the built ins and the bonus room would be a nice contrast to the rest of the home. I've painted black walls before so this wasn't a scary choice. I had loved them in my master bedroom in our Fern Street Home and still enjoyed the guest bath that we painted black when moving into our Farmhouse. So I chatted with Steve and the … [Read more...]
