Tips for a Stronger Marriage

08/04/2019 By Bre

Hello Friends! If you’ve caught some of my more recent posts than you know I’ve been working on my husbands new office space for his company, and in all my time I’ve spent over there lately it’s gotten me to do a lot of thinking and reflecting on our marriage. Tomorrow we celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary, and I thought it would be fun to share some of my reflective thoughts with all of you. In case you are in need of some encouragement, or perhaps a different point of view. Or maybe just a closer look into our marriage. So today, I’m taking a break from painting, and home decor, to talk about our married life.

Inspiration for Every Room

I’m so glad that my last post resonated with so many of you! It sparked quite the topic of conversation when I originally asked the question on Instagram, and after reading so many great responses, I knew I wasn’t alone. It’s hard with Pinterest sometimes to feel like our homes don’t always look quite as perfect, or are feeling a little less then “Pinterest – worthy” views, but I believe that even in those perfect homes, there is something the homeowner doesn’t like.

The “Not-So” Perfect Home

07/30/2019 By Bre

I asked this question on Instagram last week because I had a hunch! There I was sitting one night scrolling through the gram, and it hit me – “I bet everyone has at least one area in their home that they aren’t happy with” I thought to myself. Or at least they weren’t happy with it until they fixed it! You know that problem area that you either over decorate to try and “hide” it, or completely ignore it determined it will always be a non-pretty area in your home, hoping that if you ignore it enough others might not see it too. Well the response was resounding, and here’s what people had to say!

Hubby’s Office Space

07/23/2019 By Bre

Hello Friends! Today I’m excited to share details about a new project I have been working on! The hubby’s NEW office space! I know I’ve never really shared before about what my husband does, other than when his handy skills come into play for a project that we’re working on for around our house. Now I finally get the chance to create a brand new space for him at work, and I’m thrilled with the chance to work on creating a space that isn’t geared towards the home. I’m sharing all the details of the new work space I get to create for my hubby’s new office!

Farmhouse Tour Friday {vol.17}

Hello Friends and Happy Friday!! I feel like every year at the beginning of summer vacation, I feel anxious that the summer will drag, and the days will be filled with statements of “I’m bored”, however every year the summer seems to go by faster and faster, and I find myself secretly wishing for summer to slow down a little bit more. Never mind the fact that by the 2nd week in August, I am craving all things fall and cooler temps. So I’m reminding myself today, as I can’t believe another week of summer has gone by, that soon it will be gone completely, so to savor each day! We are kicking things off today with another Farmhouse Style | Home Tour, and I’m so excited, lets get this party started!

Master Bathroom Design | 3 Ways

07/18/2019 By Bre

Recently I took on a small design client. After making the decision two years ago to no longer work with clients, I wondered if I ever would again. This was a friend of the family, who was renovating an old farmhouse, and needed help coming up with a design plan for their master bathroom. I get it, when you are renovating a whole house, there are a lot of details and decision makings involved, so having a fresh set of eyes help make those choices on style and tile, can really help. While I was creating her design board I realized just how much your design choices can dictate the style of the space. So today I’m sharing a Master Bathroom Design, 3 different ways! Check it out ~
