Knowing Where to Start with your Home

05/01/2019 By Bre

It’s so easy to point out the things that we don’t love in our home sometimes isn’t it? The outdated tile, the bathroom toilet that needs to be replaced. Or perhaps it’s the lack of storage in some very needed areas throughout our homes, or that beige carpet you are desperate to change over to hardwood someday. I’ll admit I have totally been guilty of walking around this house, that I prayed for mind you, and complained about all the things that it didn’t have. But that only left me frustrated and discontent. Sometimes it’s hard to even know where to begin? So today I’m sharing some tips on how to know where to start with your homes decorating journey.

First I should disclaim, I love writing lists. Like really love writing thing down in list form. When my kids where toddlers it was the only way I felt like I could bring order to my day. So here is my list of 35 things (my then 28 yr. old self) wanted to have done by the time I turned 35, which happens to be this Friday!

It’s ok if you don’t have your Dream House

04/29/2019 By Bre

Holy smokes long title, but there really is just no shorter way of saying it! It is ok if you don’t have your dream house and yes I believe that it makes you a better decorator! I think we all start off with a dream house in mind, at some point in our lives. Heck I still get visions what my dream house would look like. But I bet for most of us we aren’t living in those dream houses we imagined we’d have. And if you are, I am SO happy for you, and I bet there is still a little something you can get out of this post too! So why is it that not living in our dream homes makes us a better decorator?

Wicker Chairs

One of my favorite ways to add texture to a room is by bringing in a wicker chair. It’s amazing how much the room really comes to life by incorporating a different texture into the space. I love doing this in just about any room, but especially the dining room! I’ve rounded up 15 of my favorite wicker chairs, and I think you will love them too!

I wanted to share some of my favorite garden accessories and tools that I love to use around our house!

Painting our Foundation

04/18/2019 By Bre

Hi friends!! Do you ever have an “AH-HA” moment and wonder why you didn’t think of it before? I was laying in bed the other night, catching up on some IG stories, when I was came across another fellow blogger I love, and she was touring a home that was for sale. She shared the outside of the home before they walked in, and it hit me like a ton of bricks! It was this cute white, cape style home, but the foundation was painted dark. And then the lightbulb moment happened!
