Primary Bedroom Refresh

I had started working on our bedroom last year, slowly making changes, but also being intentional with my choices as I carefully made decisions as to how I wanted our primary bedroom to feel.

And while I haven't crossed everything off my list just yet, I wanted to share the progress with you so far. So here is phase one completed in our primary bedroom refresh. Take a look ~ ...

Favorite Coffee Table Books
Before there was Pinterest and blogs, if you wanted to see more images of beautiful homes beyond just the snapshots in magazines than you would turn to coffee table books. Recently on Instagram I shared how I had heard about a follower who would gift herself a new coffee table book every year for her birthday and I loved the idea so much I decided to adopt it for myself. I think the hardest part is choosing just one, but that is also the fun part of looking forward to what book to choose for the following year. I glean so much inspiration from coffee table books, that I wanted to share my favorite coffee table books with you as well! Come and see my Favorites ~ ...

Hutch Makeover Tutorial | DIY
Hi Friends!! This tutorial is long overdue, but what can I say. Life happens, things get put on the back burner, and then I completely forgot that I never actually shared the process with you all.

Something about the process of seeing a piece that is worn out and bringing it back to life. I have learned a lot over the past twenty years of sanding down furniture, and while I am no professional, there are a few simple steps that I go by. Determine if the piece you are refinishing is real wood or not (If it's not real wood than save yourself ... Read More about Hutch Makeover Tutorial | DIY
Spring Styled Hutch
The hutch in our dining room is one of my favorite places to add a few seasonal touches marking the beginning of a new season. Every Christmas it's the first spot I decorate adding miniature houses and tiny bottle brush trees. After the holidays are over, I remove anything that feels too "christmas-y", I wipe everything down and display my favorite serving pieces I've collected over the years. Then once spring arrives I'm ready to add some pops of greenery back into my hutch. It always adds a breath of fresh air back into our dining room, so today I'm sharing how I styled our hutch for spring. Come and see ~ ... Read More about Spring Styled Hutch

Goals for 2024
Hi Friends! At the start of the year I take some time to sit down and write out some goals that I have for the new year. This list includes personal goals that I have for myself, whether it's incorporating something new into my routine, or an area in my life I want to work in like - be less distracted by social media and embrace more of what feels meaningful in my life. Learning a new skill like - make sourdough bread (I've been working on this one!), and of course projects for our house. Rather than making different lists for each category or area in my life, this ends up turning into more of a brain dump kind of session, but one that feels completely satisfying because it gets all of ...
