Hi Friends!! Each year I like to start things off by writing down the goals I have in mind for our house for the upcoming year. My husband and I joke that the winter is our “Project Season”, but typically it’s because we are cooped up inside due to impending snow. While we don't always accomplish everything on my list, It does help me focus in on the things I really want to get done around our house. So today I'm sharing all my goals for our home for 2023. Let's dive in ~ ... Read More about Goals for 2023
How I Start the New Year
Hello Friends! It's hard to believe we are already more than half way through January, but here we are. I hope your New Year has been off to a great start. I was recently chatting with a friend, and sharing how rested and content I feel during this season, and even though we are in the dead of winter, and this time of year can sometimes feel gloomy and pointless. I feel joy and peace present in my life. Previously I shared how I give our house a clean slate at the beginning of every New Year. I've realized how much my brain longs for a break at the start of the new year, and how allowing myself a moment to sit in the bare space in between is so beneficial to not only for my home, but for ...

Guest Bathroom Before & Design Plan
Hello Friends! Today I'm sharing a space in our home with you that has never been seen before on the blog. Is the suspense killing you yet? Are you wondering "How in the world could I be holding out from you like this"? When we moved into our home, almost two years ago, pretty much the entire house and been renovated or updated by the previous owner, except for this room. Our guest room bathroom! Yep, our guest room off the living room as a full en suite bathroom which is amazing for guests, especially when our parents come to stay. However, it still has all of its' original fixtures from when it was put in back in the 90's - including some very red tile. Are you ready to check it out. ...

Christmas Living Room | 2022
Hello Friends!! Today I'm sharing our living room decorated for Christmas. This year I chose to only bring out my absolute favorite pieces, that also complimented the neutral decor we have in our living room. Little bits of my favorite winter greens tucked in and around our living room make things feel extra festive without requiring a ton of work. I brought out my favorite white ornaments, a few table top trees, a few bottle brush trees, which all set the perfect back drop for our Christmas tree to take centerstage. Come and Take a Look ~ ...

Christmas Dining Room | 2022
Hello Friends!! Thank you so much for your kind remarks in regards to my last post about Preparing our Hearts and our Homes for the holiday season. It's so nice to hear that many of you are feeling the same way I am this holiday season. I mentioned in that post how this year I took out only the decorations I felt like using. It was actually during my process of decorating our dining room that lead me to that decision after feeling overwhelmed with decision fatigue over how I wanted to even go about decorating our dining room. There's a few recent changes in our dining room as well, so I can't wait for you to see how our dining room looks for Christmas this year. Come and see ~ ...

Preparing our Hearts & Home for the Holidays
Hello Friends! As I prepare our home for the holidays, I'm finding myself longing to be more intentional about preparing my heart this holiday season as well. Instead of feeling rushed or anxious about all of the things I "need" to get done, I'm pausing to reflect on what really matters most to me and our family this holiday season. Instead of giving myself an impossible to-do list of Christmas decorating, shopping, and commitments, I'm carefully contemplating what I allow to fill our schedule over the weeks to come. So before I share the simple touches of holiday decor I've added around our home this year, I thought I would first share how I am preparing not only our home, but my heart ...

Faux Fall Floral Arrangement
Hello Friends! Thank you so much for all of your kind words on this years Thanksgiving Tablescape. I shared it HERE, in case you missed it, and in my post I shared how I really let the centerpiece inspire the rest of the tablescape. I made the centerpiece entirely out of faux stems (and 1 preserved stem), and the best part is I can use it year after year, as part of my fall decor if I wish. So today I'm sharing how I made this faux floral arrangement, with fall inspired stems. Come and see ~ ... Read More about Faux Fall Floral Arrangement
