Fireplace Holiday Mantle

12/18/2021 By Bre

ur guest room. I almost didn’t share it because it felt almost too “simple” in the terms of Pinterest worthy content, but I was so happy with the impact that just a few simple Christmas decorations can make, I wanted to share it anyways. Your sweet comments showed me that I was on the right track. That we don’t have to go all out to spread a little Christmas cheer, and that my heart for the holidays is to simply welcome people into our home and make them feel loved. You can see the post HERE, in case you missed it, and today I’m sharing how I decorated the fireplace in our kitchen for Christmas! You guys this is the first time I have had an actual fireplace to decorate for the holidays, and it’s a BIG one. I’m so excited for you to see it!

Christmas Decor in the Guest Room

12/16/2021 By Bre

Nothing like a little Christmas Decor to make a room feel more finished! I hadn’t planned on sharing this room with you yet, but I styled this little corner in the guest room we have upstairs, and it just kind of spilled over into me adding more Christmas Decor into this space. I shared the design plan for our guest room downstairs with you all, but did you know that we have a guest room upstairs too?! EEK! I had planned on sharing some of the progress this room has taken with you after the holidays, but I just loved the subtle Christmas decor I added to it so much, I wanted to share it with you all too! So enjoy the first glimpse into our guest room upstairs decorated for Christmas.

a long time. It was so fun to open up my bins this year, and pull out my favorites. For this years Christmas decor I stuck with mostly green and white, and some earthy tones. I love how this simple color scheme really allows the greenery to pop I’ve sprinkled throughout our home, and today I’m sharing our Living Room decorated for Christmas.

Thanksgiving Tablescape | 2021

11/23/2021 By Bre

Hello Friends!! Happy Thanksgiving!! I can’t believe it is already the week of Thanksgiving ?! The groceries have been bought, the table has been set, and now it’s time to begin all the prep work so that on the actual day I only have to do a few minimal things. This year we are frying our turkey, and my husband is so excited to do this, so now there is even one less thing on my plate for the big day. I will be honest, it feels a little “late” in the blogging world to be sharing a Thanksgiving Tablescape the week of Thanksgiving, but I still wanted to share some inspiration, even if it ends up being for next years table. So today I’m sharing my simple Thanksgiving Tablescape.

Dining Room Progress

11/17/2021 By Bre

can’t believe that we have been in our new home for six months now! I still get that pinch me feeling when I pull in our driveway, just in awe that this home is really ours. There are so many things that we love about being here, but I can honestly tell you for me it’s not having to wonder anymore about what our forever home will be like. There is a deep sense of being rooted here, and knowing that this not a temporary home for our family, that gives me so much contentment I don’t know if I can fully explain it. I mentioned in my Fall Home Tour that I needed to share more about the progress that has taken place in our dining room, so today I’m showing you just what we’ve done so far, including that new paint color and layout this room has taken.

Thanksgiving Table Color Schemes

11/11/2021 By Bre

It is crazy to think that we are just two short weeks away from Thanksgiving. I get giddy with excitement this time of year as I start to dream up ideas for my Thanksgiving table. I’m not fully sure why, but for me the holidays feel like the one time where I can go all out. Lighting candles, using my inherited china set, as I set the table so each one of my family members knows they have a seat at the table. One of the key elements I think about when I’m brainstorming tablescape ideas is color. Color is a great way to emphasize the mood you wish to create for your gathering, so today I’m sharing a round-up of different Thanksgiving Table Color Schemes, as we start to plan our Thanksgiving Tables.
