Happy Monday friends! Last week was a blur! I had a few more posts planned for last week, and you know what – life happened! And it got me thinking, how often do we allow our homes to refresh others? So today I’m sharing a bit about home, and some heart ramblings from my past week.
Hello Friends!! Last week I shared about how it’s ok if you don’t have your dream house, and why I think that makes you a better decorator, and where to even start with the decor in your own home. So today I’m going to share with you how my dining room style evolved into the space you see today!
Yesterday I shared about the importance of writing your dreams down! Regardless of how long it takes for some of those dreams to come true, I think it’s so powerful when we write them out, when we speak them into existence, and share them vulnerably with a trusted friend. I hinted before that I have something in the wings I’ve been working towards, a dream come true, and I’m so excited that today, on my birthday I get to share with you what it finally is!
Friends, I can’t even begin to tell you how valuable and important this step is! Write your dreams down! If my list of 35 things I wanted to have done by the time I turned 35 was any indication, I’m about to give you some more proof as to why you should take the time to write those dreams down.
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 The outdated tile, the bathroom toilet that needs to be replaced.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!
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?
Hello Friends!! Happy Saturday!!
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!
