Back Deck Reveal

09/15/2025 By Bre

I am so excited to share with you our Back Deck Reveal! I will be the first to tell you that I completely underestimated the impact that this renovation was going to have on the exterior of our home. Maybe that’s because after living with the previous condition of our back deck for three years, your eyes become used to it, and the sore spots that once stuck out no longer do. Our back deck makeover has completely transformed our home’s curb appeal with a blend of classic design elements and modern comfort. Step inside (or rather, step outside) as we reveal the finished porch and all the details that brought it to life.

Back Deck Renovation Part 2

09/09/2025 By Bre

Last year, we began giving our back deck a makeover. I shared the Design Plans with you HERE, and Part 1 of the Renovation process HERE. At the end of Part 1, I shared how we would be installing new screens this coming spring, and I’m so excited to tell you that our porch is done! Before I share the full reveal, I wanted to show you the progress of installing the new screens and the details on how we built our new porch railings. I contemplated many different styles for our porch railings, and I am so pleased with how they turned out.

I hope this post finds you soaking up the last bit of blissful moments this summer has to offer. I have so many wonderful things I can’t wait to share with you that happened this summer.

New Living Room Paint Color

02/25/2025 By Bre

Two weeks before Christmas I decided to paint our living room. Yes, I know that sounds crazy, but I had been contemplating doing it for a while. I always say that paint colors are a personal choice, and I was craving something a little cozier for our living room. While I will still say that white is my favorite color to paint a room, I was ready for a change after having white walls in our current living room (and at our previous house). So today, I’m sharing the official reveal of the new paint color in our living room.

A Look Inside my New Book – Making Your Home Meaningful

02/22/2025 By Bre

Today I’m sharing a look inside my new book, Making Your Home Meaningful. One of the questions I’ve received the most about the book is “what is this new book all about anyways?” So much of what I’m sharing has stemmed from conversations and questions I’ve gotten from friends and followers along the way when it comes to creating a meaningful home. I want anyone who picks up a copy of my book to feel inspired and encouraged when it comes to creating heartfelt, authentic spaces in their own home.

Decorating with Faux Stems

02/19/2025 By Bre

Without fail every year around this time I start to get the itch for spring. While I’m not ready to fully decorate our home for spring quite yet, I’m ready to breathe a little life back into our spaces. Our winters are long and sometimes feel like they can overstay their welcome. Come the end of February, I’m ready to freshen up the inside of our home even though there may be plenty of snow still left on the ground. Decorating with realistic looking faux stems is just the help my home needs to help me get through as I patiently wait for spring to arrive!
