Hi Friends!! One of my favorite things about decorating seasonally is finding simple ways to celebrate without completely changing my home. For summer, I love adding little touches that feel timeless rather than overly themed. A basket overflowing with white flowers and a few American flags feels classic, welcoming, and perfectly at home from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The best part? This arrangement only took a few minutes to put together, requires absolutely no watering, and looks just as beautiful hanging on a front door or porch as it does displayed inside the house. Today I'm sharing exactly how I created this patriotic summer hanging basket using faux geraniums and one ... Read More about How to Make a Simple Patriotic Summer Hanging Basket

After living in our home for a few years, I knew that cafe curtains were the missing piece our ...

Hi Friends!! This time of year always has me dreaming about flowers spilling over the edges of beautiful planters, fresh herbs growing just outside the kitchen door, and porches filled with layers that make home feel even more inviting. And while the flowers themselves often steal the show, I’ve always believed the planter you choose can be just as important. Personally, I think of outdoor planters much like I do furniture or lighting inside a home. They help set the tone, add personality, and create that first impression before anyone even steps through your front door. Over the years, I’ve collected a handful of planter styles that I come back to season after season. Pieces that feel ... Read More about My Favorite Outdoor Planters This Season

Hi Friends!! Today I'm sharing a very special announcement with you!! A new series I am kicking off called: Plant a Garden. If you caught my post on our home project goals earlier this year, you may remember that expanding our raised bed garden has been something we’ve been working toward for a while now. What started as a simple idea quickly got pushed aside as other projects (like our back porch renovation) took priority, and life happens. Instead of simply planting and sharing bits and pieces along the way, I’ll be documenting the entire process of building out our new raised bed garden area — and bringing you along with me every step of the way. ...
