How I Prepare Our Home and Garden for the Colder Months Ahead

10/15/2025 By Bre

15 Oct

Hi Friend! The leaves are starting to fade and fall, the garden is slowing down, and I can feel the season gently nudging me to prepare our home for the colder months ahead. This time of year always inspires me to shift into a slower rhythm — adding warmth, soft textures, and little comforts that make home feel like a retreat when the weather turns cold. Each year, we like to take a weekend (or two) to do a little “home prep” before winter really settles in. This past weekend, we started tackling some of those tasks to prepare our home and garden for the colder months ahead — and it reminded me how much it can make the season feel calmer and more intentional. ...

Is Fall Nesting Really a Thing?

09/21/2025 By Bre

21 Sep

Hi Friends!! Recently, I had a friend ask me this question over coffee, "Is Fall Nesting Really a Thing?" Without hesitation, I responded with “you better believe it is!” How else do you explain the feeling you get when the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, and many of us feel the natural pull to retreat indoors and create a space that feels warm and inviting. This seasonal shift is often called fall nesting—a practice of refreshing your home with cozy layers, natural accents, and comforting details that mirror autumn’s beauty. The difference for me is that fall nesting goes beyond simply decorating for the season; it’s about embracing a lifestyle of comfort and connection, ...

Back Deck Reveal

15 Sep

Hi Friends! 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. Come and see ~ ... Read More about Back Deck Reveal
